Title: m30 question
Post by: Bill_O on January 28, 2010, 09:11:08 AM

If I make a macro for M30 will that override anything that the software does
automatically?

I would think the M30 rewind will be hard coded into Mach, only way to know for sure would be to try.

Curious why you need this anyway, can you not just make a custom macro to do what you want and replace the M30 in the code with M300 or whatever?

Hood,
Thanks for the reply.
I wanted to use a more standard code. All of my machines out there already have the m30 at the end of the gcode and i did not want to send new post processors to everyone. If i can make a macro that uses the m30 i can also add choices for what it will do without having a special post processor and it frees people up to use more software.

You would need to use: M1030.m1s to detect a M30 call.  ;)
