Exactly! It may be intended for encoders, but You are the one to adjust this point... You can link it to whatever You need, which tells LinuxCNC that machine is ready for work - it can be timer, it can be external button for You to press, it can be whatever You need. In one of my machines I have several inputs (from VFD , when VFD thinks that spindle is at speed, from air pressure sensor - pneumatics hold the workpiece at place and I think that there were one or two more) through "and2" modules linked to spindle-at-speed. I think that "timedelay" module is the one for this situation. Viesturs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
