Just playing around here with some lighting indicators in the shop and though it might be cool to be able to slip DPRNT lines into part programs that would output to arduino type controller to be interpreted and used to control and light indicator system, i.e., this program is 0-100% done. The arduino could output to a lcd, or even an led light bar to show progress that could be seen from a distance.
Anyone ever dabbled in this type of communication via RS232 from the Haas control to any external device?
