Input to toggle output

[djreiswig]

I'm wanting to put a button on my screen to toggle an output on and off. I would also like to control this output with a mechanical switch tied to an input. How would I go about setting this up? I plan on having an LED on the screen to keep track of the output state. I think I can figure out how to make the screen button work by checking the LED and activating or deactivating the output, but how do I get the input to activate the button and toggle the output?

This may help I found this and used it to add a light to the program page to show when the probe was activated

Yeah, I can make the LED follow the output. I can also make the screen button toggle the output. I'm not sure how to get the input to toggle either the button or the output directly.

It seems to be working with an emulated hotkey on the trigger input. Not sure if it will work with the actual switch, but I assume so.

Hello
I have two button for suction and plasma cutter on off. They can be operated with the gamepad.

I do not have an external switch.

My Button Script:

If GetUserLED (1318) Then
SetUserLED(1318,0)
DeactivateSignal(18)
Else
ActivateSignal(18)
SetUserLED(1318,1)
end if

Maybe it helps.

I am going to use a manual button on an input. I needed a way for Mach to see the button and turn on an output. The OEM trigger was the key to get it to look for the button. Then the hotkeys get the input to run the macro to turn on the output. I did use code similar to what you posted earlier to do the toggle.
I'm setting up a second BOB to handle the additional functions, so it will be a bit before I can actually test the button, but it works with an emulated input so I'm hopeful.
