Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: 5 axis with cncpro (I/O's)

Hi Carl,
I haven't been following what you are wanting to do exactly, but for the ?
in this message or to confirm, this is my understanding:
CNC-Pro has M03,5,7,8,9,10 and 11 as user defined output program
control needs.
Keyboard F5-F8 are re-nameable and enable/disable the above.
These are stated as I/O's. I don't know how they are used as In's.
On the DB-25 par cable pins 1 and 10-17 are available for the above plus E-stop
and limit switches.
I have only tested these partially with connected electronics.
The provided directions are a little confusing. I'm adding some additional notes
and minor corrections to the help file.
If anyone needs a new copy, buzz me on e/m.
Rich D.
