Yes, is that not the correct way to do it?

Not saying it's the wrong way of controlling the torch, it's just that it wasn't specified you were using M10.1 to do that. As the main talk of this thread came about because Andrew (Shad) wanted the M10.1 developed for controlling "THC Hold" on his Neuron THC, I just wanted to confirm your use was for the torch.

In Mach3, users would use a similar synchronous O/P to control the torch, when they wanted to turn the torch off during motion, typically when cutting holes. Normally, however, the M3/M5 output is used to control the torch.

I'm also very interested in a solution to this because I can see me using one of these synchronous O/Ps for controlling the torch at some point.

M10/M11 has to operate "between" M3/M5, but M10.1/M11.1 does not have this restriction. However, I'm also wondering if the STOP also does not have any effect on M10.1/M11.1 or if it's a bug.

M10.x are not controlled by the STOP button.
Only the M10 is controlled by the M3/M5 and the STOP/RESET.

Just a quick code for you. Save this code as a macro (e.g. M25100.txt) and set it as Macroloop and select Autorun. This macroloop will check the Cycle Start LED and when it goes off then displays the message and runs the code.

Code: Select all
// ================================================================================================
// Task when Cycle stopped
// ================================================================================================

bool CurrentCycleState = exec.GetLED(CycleStartLED);

if (CurrentCycleState != LastCycleState)
{
  LastCycleState = CurrentCycleState;
  if (!CurrentCycleState)
  {
    exec.AddStatusmessage("Cycle finished!");                                   // Put your message here
    exec.Codesync("M11.1");                                                     // Put your command here
    while (exec.IsMoving());
  }
}

// ================================================================================================

#Events

// ================================================================================================

const int CycleStartLED = 54;

static bool LastCycleState = false;

Your code worked perfectly. Thank you!

I’m sorry if this is painfully basic. I’ve been having one hell of a time getting my stand alone THC to work with UCCNC. It seems to freeze my THC use of this m10.1 would be my best option. Can someone explain to me how to set this up. In the triggers/output screen I enter my port and pin that connects to my THC controller. Then what LED do I select? Once that is done I will use snippets in sheetcam to add gcode to trigger the freeze via m10.1/m11.1 correct?
