You did well !

Try to use DoOEMButton(288) To cancel the Dwell. This should work

Best of luck

It is no problem to get the Tag mills up and running The onlt trick is to turn on sherline mode on the ports and pins page... The Tag drivers need a nice LONG step pulse..

Hello,
You are looking to change the dwell time... Hmmmm I think the best way to change to dwell time with a DRO is to use the M3 and M5 macros Much the same way that you have done here:

c=Timer()
totaltime=(c-getuserdro(1002))
setuserdro(1000,totaltime)   
dooembutton(1000)   

1002 userDRO is the time from the beginning of the preheat. I use M18 to fill 1002 up.

b=Timer()
setuserdro(1002,b)
preheat=getuserdro(1000)
ActivateSignal(Output4)
code ("G4 P" & preheat)

totaltime is the the xx (G4 Pxx) time
dooembutton(1000)=dobutton(0) I think. I tried them both.

I don' t get what it is that you are trying to do If it was e and I needed to change the Pre heat time I woudl do the following
'M3
preheat=getuserdro(1000)
DoSpinCW()
code ("G4 P" & preheat)

and to turn off

'M5
DoSpinStop()

Sorry i don't see what you need

the other thing that you are talking about :

"I also found out the "no sense" movement. In G is
G01 X119.7404 Y112.9179 F180.3516"

What is a "No Sense" Move??? are you talking about a nonprobe move?

we will get you fixed up
Thanks
Brian
