Pathpilot - external controls was created by davidimurray
Hi All
In the middle of building a new lathe and starting on the controls. Having used PP for a few years now on a parport setup, for the new machine I have for a MESA 7i76e and would like to add some external controls. I am currently experimenting with the 7i76E and LCNC before i move over to PP, but I have seen a few comments about controls you can and can't access in PP and was wondering if anyone had ay experience or knew what can be accessed.
In particular I am thinking of -
Estop
Reset
Cycle Start
Stop
Coolant
Feed override (using analog input)
Spindle override (using analog input)
Max Vel override (using analog input)
Zero Z
MPG
MPG Axis Select
MPG Increment Select
Spindle Fwd/Rev/Stop
Thanks for any advice - just wondering how big a can of worms I am opening looking into this!

As long as you have inputs to work with I do not see any problems doing whqt you want.
