ok
thanks
please answer this question
in a tool change macro can i turn on a output for a certain amount of time, then off then on ect
on off on off on off = tool 3 on a output pin to a Arduino

BUT please why can't i get this question answered
I have asked it many times
in a tool change macro or even a aux button macro, can i turn on a output for a certain amount of time, then off then on ect?

Sorry Keith I missed your answer to my question.
the simple yes... was easy to miss
thank you
Steve

Steve, Try the Gray_Code_2_Output_Rev1 in this zip located here. The 2 Output PLC will match the Schematic you have been looking at, and should be closer to what you need.

Simply if the Axis Driven one does not work out for you.

thanks Chris
After making all of these parts and electronics. and all i made actually works.
It is a bit hard to go to simple "G0 A 45.00" degrees and not know if it is even there.
that is why I was favoring the gray code, there is an error if the tool change fails.
All this work, The lathe will sit until I figure it out.
Thanks again
Steve

REVISION: THESE ENCODERS ARE JUNK !!!!


here is a find that may be a point of interest for others considering 4 wire gray logic.
this is a 5 pin, common and 4 in
16 position gray logic mechanical encoder 360 rotation
will work for 24v
I just purchased 2 for $21.33 inc postage

great..thanks for reporting back..post a video when you get the turret back on the machine and cutting a part!

hopefully i have the correct wiring diagram this attempt

Steve, you are doing a great job. Persistence will pay off.
Hopefully once you wrap it up, you will provide your final report, how your turret operates and perhaps a sketch of your turret specific wiring.

Marty

Thanks Marty
I don't hurry
as in the title I'm looking for the best way not just what may suffice
I might fail but not without a struggle, so that's OK with me.
