SmartBOB controllers and dedicated accessories / What determines the possible values that can be asigned to input and outpuits?
« on: September 23, 2024, 05:42:41 PM »
What determines the possible values that appear in the drop-down lists when setting the assignments for Input Signals and Output Signals using the Mach4 menu item ?
For example I'm using a PMDX-416. I install Mach4, then I install PMDXSmartBOBUSB-Ver_0.53.263-setup.exe, which includes the profile PMDX Sample. I then run the Mach4 loader and select the sample profile PMDX Sample, After Mach4 loads, I go to Configure ==> Control... ==> Output Signals. On the line labeled X Home, I click in the box under Device, then click on the downarrow that appears to get a list of choices, I pick SmartBOBUSB. Then I click in the box just to the right of that in the Output Name column, click on the downarrow that appears, and get the following list of choices:
Pin 14
Pin 16
Why are there only two choices, and why those two? I've already assigned Pin 16 to Coolant On, and it works. Why doesn't, say, Pin 15 appear in the list?
I'm sure there is something blatantly obvious here that I'm missing.....
