Note: Only set up multiple pulleys if your machine has different gears.
You can also change pulleys by using M41-M45. The macros can be used to just change pulleys in Mach3 or you could
use them to automatically change gears on your machine. Outputs 12-16 are configured to shift between gears 1 and
5. To shift your machine into neutral, run M40. Open up the macros with the VB Script Editor for more details.
