General Mach Discussion / Re: Help! How to write Macro for M11 and M10 in Mach3
« on: August 24, 2018, 10:47:59 AM »I would like to use M10 and M11 For laser cutting acrylic signs.
I use master cam X5 and I’m wondering how I do the post processing to create the G code that would include M10/11 commands along with the P/delay command
Thanks,
Chuck
As far as I am aware no one has created a Mastercam Post Processor which supports the M11/M10 command set so you would be on your own and you would need some knowledge of how the Mastercam pp works.
If you decide to create your own Post Processor then your laser should be turned ON for all Feed-Rate moves and OFF for all Rapid Moves...
Basically, every Rapid Move (G00) should be prefixed with M10Px and every Feed-Rate Move (G01,G02,G03) should be prefixed With M11Px ( where x is the Output# controlling your laser trigger ).
Hope this helps,
Tweakie.
