I'll go back out and check after football.

Thanks, normally that's what I'd be doing on a Sunday but Jets are off and Giants been way to disappointing.

It works!
My port and pin numbers were already 1,1. I changed my button number to 5500, re installed macro 5400, and enabled the plug in and restarted. I tested it several times and it works like it should. Only thing I don't understand is why change the button number to something other than the macro number? I thought the button called the macro according to it's button number?

Doesn't matter, really just curious. Thanks again CNCDrive, Gerry and Dan for the help.

What you do is specify the port and pin number for the output in the macroloop, and define a User LED, in this case 500. It looks like the plugin/macroloop use LED500 to store the current state of the output.
The button isn't calling the macro. I believe that the plugin is monitoring the button, and using the LED number to know what the button number is. 5000 + 500.

Yes, Gerry is right. The macro runs in a loop, it can be any number. The button number must be the LED number + 5000, because the plugin handles button number 5001..5000+MaxLED, as I wrote in the beginning of this thread. I'm happy to read it works, but now I don't know what was the problem.

I think he had the wrong button number....

[1JUMPER10]

My button number was 5400. Because I thought it had to be the macro number.

I never worked with the screen editor, or added buttons and only once before used a plugin. It's all simple to you guys but mostly brand new to me. I have definitely learned a few things.

It is a bit annoying when you write a macro, know that it must work, but it does not. I read the UB1 manual and nothing points to why it doesn't switch K1. I really don't understand it...

Hi dezsoe, I shared in your frustration here.

I already started to write a more configurable plugin then the one I uploaded before you posted your solution, when it was posted neither was working it seened silly to upload. I just uploaded since it became clear that both solutions work well. I think it may be appealing to the less experienced like myself.

[ger21]

Sorry Dan, I forgot to follow up.
I did go out and test your plugin, and yes, it did activate the relay on the UB1.

Thank you Gerry
