Hi,
Im doing some modifications to my screenset in order to share it with the community.
For anyone to be able to use it, I need to remove behaviors that are specific to my configuration.
One of them is tool change.
I dont like to keep my tool information inside mach, because I have my tool library in my CAM.
When I generate gcode, the tool information is included this way:
(TDESC;ID:14;DESC:1/4" End Mill Straight;TYPE:END_MILL;TOTLEN:80mm;OHL:50mm;SL:30mm;CL:20mm;SD:15mm;TD:6.35mm;CR:0mm;AN:0mm;FLUTES:2;MSG:In drawer 3)M810
M6 T1
S2000 M3
I use M810 to signal a function that parses the tool information and displays it in a tool change windows so the operator can do the manual change:
Of couse some users wont be able to make their postprocessor output this information, and also some others use auto tool change.
What tool change behaviors do you think I should include in the screenset tso most users can use it?
Thanks
