Mach 3 Start, Stop Buttons

[grandpa jay]

I have followed all the directions that I can find and it still does not work.

Ports and Pins, OEM 1&2, Port 1, Pins 11 & 13, (Start & Stop).
Above results same if manual or automatic.

On Diagnostics screen "Raw Port Import Bits":
Pin 10? lit, goes out if E Stop is activated. 6th from right, top.
Pin 12? lit, goes out if limits are activated. 7th from right, top.

This is where the problem stats or does not start.

When the Start button is pressed the pin 8? lights. 5th from right, top.
Machine program does not start.

I have not ran the program from the keyboard to evaluate the stop key but the program wil start from the keyboard.

I have been running this machine for over a year with Mach3 and the old Blue Screen Set with Probe. After adding Big Tex, and not liking it. I reloaded Mach3 and the Blue Screen Set. This is where the problems started.

Do you have external buttons wired? I'm confused, because you're talking about the keyboard??

Go to Config>Hotkeys and enter the OEM codes for Start (1000) and Stop (1003) for their respective OEM Triggers. See if that works.

Thank you very much.
If I would do what it says instead of what I think that it said it would be better. I'm not getting old, grandma died at 97, I still have 25 years to go.
