Trying to read clamp unclamp signals from atc spindle.

Postby k7matrix » Thu Sep 29, 2022 5:44 am

Trying to setup a safe m6 macro that grabs the clamp unclamp signal from the spindle.
I have modified a macro and so far and have my dust boot and tool rack moving.
so far I haven't been able to get the pnp signal to work.


Code: Select all
while(!AS3.GetLED(131))      // check Collet has opened
while(AS3.GetLED(131))      // check Collet has closed
while(AS3.GetLED(132))      // check tool has locked
{



I greatly appreciate the help.

Code: Select all
//STEPCRAFT linear toolchanger code

// (1) STEPCRAFT port definition
int Chuckopenport = 4;
int Chuckopenpin = 14;
int Toollockcheckport = 2;
int Toollockcheckpin = 5;
int Checkcolletopenport = 2;
int Checkcolletopenpin = 4;
int Atcslidefwdport = 4;
int Atcslidefwdpin = 9;
int Dustshoeport = 4;
int Dustshoepin = 7;

double[] ToolX = new double[11];
double[] ToolY = new double[11];
ToolX[0] = 0; // Tool0 X position
ToolY[0] = 0; // Tool0 Y position

// (2) STEPCRAFT tool holder XY positions
ToolX[1] = 5; // Tool1 X position
ToolY[1] = 10; // Tool1 Y position
ToolX[2] = 10; // Tool2 X position
ToolY[2] = 10; // Tool2 Y position
ToolX[3] = 15; // Tool3 X position
ToolY[3] = 10; // Tool3 Y position
ToolX[4] = 1228.7; // Tool4 X position
ToolY[4] = 119.9; // Tool4 Y position
ToolX[5] = 1228.7; // Tool5 X position
ToolY[5] = 153.6; // Tool5 Y position

// (3) STEPCRAFT optional tools
