OK, now that I have a bunch of other problems fixed, I need to see how to implement the title question.
This customer has a Haas mini-mill, and wants to use EMC to control an indexing head. So, he will have the XYZ moves programmed in the Haas, and the A axis programmed in EMC. When he needs the next A position, he has the Haas send a contact closure to a digital input on the PWM controller, which I think can wake it out of an optional stop, and when it gets to the next position, it sends a contact closure back to the Haas to continue machining. Has anyone done this? I'm a little vague on what the G-code for this would look like on the EMC side, and which hal pins one would hook the digital I/O up to. (ISTR there has been development in this area just within the last 2 weeks or so.)
