Sometimes you need a button to turn an LED on/off. Normally, you can do it with a macro where you call exec.SetLED and AS3.Switchbutton. But it doesn't work while UCCNC is in reset state, because then you cannot start a macro. I made a plugin to solve this problem. You have to put a bistate button on the screen with button number 5000+LED number. E.g. you put button 5400 on the screen then it will toggle LED 400, even if the reset state is active.

There is no user interface on this plugin, you just need to enable it.

1.1

• AnyCPU support: runs on x86 and x64 systems
• Switch buttons 4000..4899: toggle switchbutton state (no additional LEDs)
• Buttons 4900..4999: call plugin Showup
  In the profile create SwLED section and keys as in the example below:
  
  

  Code: Select all

  [SwLED]
PluginButton4900=Console.dll,True
PluginButton4901=Modbusmaster.dll


  
  If you write ",True" after the dll then the plugin will be called even if cycle is started, otherwise the buttons work like other macro buttons which do nothing while code is running.
