    Default Mach 3 Help Needed

    I want to put a switch onto my Mach 3 screen to toggle an output on and off. I know how to put the switch on the screen but I don't know how to write necessary the VB script. I want to toggle output 1 (Pin 5) of a Gecko G540 on and off. Can anyone help me with the script for the switch? Any help would certainly be appreciated.

    I would ask Ger.
    He is very good at all these sorts of things.

    Also, I was just checking up on something else and found this info in this thread Spindle speed control, Huanyang VFD and DC-03

    The term 'grammar nazi' was invented to make people, who don't know their grammar, feel OK about being uneducated.

    Thanks Bob. Found a lot of info but, unfortunately, still haven't solved my problem. I'll keep experimenting.

    I moved to Mach4 a while back so I don't recall 100% on how I did mine - but I believe the easiest way is to program it via Mach3 Brains.
    Its kinda like PLC ladder logic.
