Ask for homing after kill switch

Postby Blaise » Sun Jan 16, 2022 9:53 pm

I have setup my Kill switch to trigger the error line of the drives.
Once the kill switch is released, the drives are reset.

I would like UCCNC to ask for the machine to be homed before Cycle start can be pressed. Or a tool change can be called. Also any move using MDI. Any motion other than jog.

Any suggestion on how to go about doing this?

Thanks!

Thanks! That helped a lot.

Is there a way to Derek home via a macro?

Yes!!!

exec.Callbutton(781); worked a charm!

Where did you find this information? I am curious.

Thanks!

Oh! I had an older version that did not describe buttons over 777.
Buttons from 778 to 999 were described as « reserved »

I found the latest version. Il have some reading to do!

Thanks!

All the information about buttons, leds and fields are present in your UCCNC directory (default : c:\UCCNC\documentation)
