CS-Lab / Re: CSMIO-S Rigid Tap Cycle Runs on Program Load
« on: November 29, 2015, 06:36:41 PM »
I had overlooked that. I knew it had to be something simple.

I have considered modifying the M84 code to turn on a bit that would disable the brake when running and turn it off at the end of the M84.
I was also going to look at the firmware changes to see if that was addressed.

Thanks again

CS-Lab / CSMIO-S Rigid Tap Cycle Runs on Program Load
« on: November 28, 2015, 08:13:14 PM »
I have had this system for almost 18 months and have just now got it connected and powered up. I have been impressed so far but I have run into a couple of glitches
1st when I load a program with an M84, the machine runs the tap cycle as it regenerates the toolpath display. I have only loaded a single hole for testing so I don't know if it will do it for every threaded hole in the program, but my guess is it will.
2nd This is an old Bridgeport R2C3 machine which has a pneumatic brake to hold the spindle for tool changes. I set up a brain to turn off the brake when the spindle is on. This works normally, but not with the M84 cycle. This not a big deal as I can disable the brake manually.
How can I stop the M84 from cycling on regen?

Thanks
Cliff

GetPage() reports the background screen only. I may need to create a separate jog screen to be able to do this. This would solve the problem.

Thanks

I'm using an MPG with a MODIO board and a touch screen. I also have (2) 4 position selector switches for selecting the axis and jog methods. I would like to ignore the switches if the flyout is being used. That would give me the best of all worlds.

TIA
Cliff
