Subject: Mach3 IsMoving?
In the home program is there a way to let mach know there is motion? The DROs are moving but the actual the internal mach3 variable of "IsMoving" is not going true. Reason I ask is that I am using a brain in which several conditions must be meet to alert mach3 of a drive fault,etc.. and one of these conditions "IsMoving"?


Thanks,
Allen

Hi Allen,
 
I think IsMoving is only set while Mach3 is executing G Code so it doesn't surprise me that it isn't set while KFlop is homing.
 
I can't think of a good solution.  Maybe you could describe exactly what you need to do.  One idea would be to have KFlop set a virtual bit while homing is active.
 
Regards
TK

I found a way around it, similiar to what you suggested. Using a UserLED I set to true while homing then to false when finished.

Thanks
