| All, I building a router console and wanted to control Mach3's cycle jog step function (1.000, 0.1000, 0.0100, etc) with a multi-position rotary switch. All of my switches are interfaced through a Pokey55T keyboard emulator. I've seen this done in many home brew consoles, but just can't figure out how to wire it so Mach reads each position as a different resolution set. Thanks in advance |

| I may be wrong, but i think each terminal on the 3 position switch goes to it's own input pin. If so, use the macropump to check the status of the 3 inputs, and assign the correct value to the DRO based on the pins status. I use a button on my custom screen that uses a macro to switch between 5 increments, and has a shortcut key assigned to it.
