Brains Development / help with timer..

« on: December 01, 2016, 05:16:11 PM »

hi

is it possible to set set up a brain/timer so that the spindel and cooling starts together but let the cooling stay on for another 30 (or so) secs after the spindel is turned off?
like sort of deactivation delay

i have set up the spindel on output1 and cooling on output2

thats pretty cool but not what im lookin for,
thats some sort of image trace function (i guess?)

my pic files are photos, not drawings

i need a load file button script that can load a gcode file and at the same time load a linked picture into an image place holder

yep
sort of

its a special designed machine for grinding and honing big copper tubes of various shapes (high voltage breaker parts) prior silver plating, and before that some tape masking must be done,

a tape roll is attached on the machine´s head and the program positions the tape at the startpoint

then the operator has to manually pull out and attatch the tape´s end onto the workpiece and use both hands to press the 2 buttons so that no body parts are within the working zone

while the program winds on the tape, then stops and waits for the operator to cut of the tape, then press the buttons again to repeat the sequence for the next masking position


any ideas?

hi again

iwe changed the concept;

is it possible to set up 2 external buttons so that a program starts and keep running as long as both buttons are pressed,

and if any of the buttons are released, the program should go into feed hold mode, then continue when both are pressed again?

/js

hi all

im trying to figure out how to write/construct a special jog-macro that involves 2 axis, 2 buttons and some dro's;


when input1 is active, the b axis should move (rotate) at an individual b-axis feedrate and stop on inactive (=button  released)

when input1 AND input2 is active, the z axis should move (together with b) at a individual z-axis feedrate until a pre-set distance is reached and stop even if the buttons are still pressed

if input/button1 is released both axis should stop, if input/button2 is released then z only should stop


is this doable?

/js

I mean so that the s value dynamicly changes and follows the c value
