General Mach Discussion / g54.295

« on: February 21, 2009, 11:38:40 PM »

According to the 'Mac OEM codes', OEM code 243 is "do G0G53 to G59.254 offset location".
Where can I store the G59.254 offset?

General Mach Discussion / "Relative" Move

« on: February 19, 2009, 12:42:56 PM »

Is it possible to move an Axis in "relative" coordinates?

For example, If Y axis is at 70, I would like to enter -10 into the MDI that would move the axis to 60.

Thanks

I adding a couple of "DoButton (4)" commands to my script to turn Single Block on and off.
Is there a more 'elegant' solution?

General Mach Discussion / Set Next Line and Single Block

« on: February 16, 2009, 06:01:52 PM »

I would like to operate my machine/robot in Single Block mode.
I have made a script that inserts a random number in the next line DRO when triggered. This works great. But not in Single Block mode.
When in Single Block mode I can't get the DRO to accept a number (manually or with script).

Any suggestions, my robot needs random moves in single block mode.

Thanks

I added more lines of code and the M47 works now.
Thanks for the suggestion.

It's just a few lines of code.
When I use M99 Mach3 hangs on a "please wait... generating path" window.

General Mach Discussion / M47 Repeat

« on: February 15, 2009, 11:40:57 AM »

I'm trying to repeat a program with the M47 command.
I put this at the end of my g-code.
The program rewinds to the beginning but stops. I have to click Cycle start to get in going again.
How do I use M47 to have it repeat without interaction from me?

Thanks

All is good.
I opened the 6 axis set in Screen Designer and found that the C HOME LEDs were programed incorrectly.
They repeated the B axis LEDs.
I used the "OEM codes for buttons, DRO's and LED's" sticky to get the right numbers.

Thanks
