General Mach Discussion / Re: using brains to turn a switch on

THe brain terminates with a buttoncall. That is what turns OFF the Mist/on.

I would suggest studying up on the brains a little more, (;-) TP

HIYA Fred, Put an  % in after the M30.   Mach requires an empty line after the last word in the file. The % is used a lot to make it visible.

n1 g 20 (input in inches)
n2 g40 (cancel cutter compensation)
n3 g49 ( cancel tool length compensation)
n4 g80 (cancel canned cycle)
n5 g90 ( use absolute dimension input )
n6 g94              ( feed will be per minute)( imperial and standard modes)
n7 g00 x0.3 z0.05   (rapid to x=.3 and z=.05 just off the outer edge of size required)
n8 f4               (set feed to 4 inches per minute)     
n9 S1000 M0         (set revs to 1000 rpm and stop the program)
n10 G01 X0.28        (feed at feedrate to position x=.28)   
n11 G01 Z-1.2        (feed at feedrate to 1.2 inches before 0 of the z axis)(FIRST CUT)
n12 G00 X 0.3        (fast feed out to x=.3)     
n13 G00 z0.05        (fast feed to z=0.05)(starting position of z axis on next cut)   
n14 G01 X0.26        (feedrate to x=.26) (starting position of x axis on the second cut)
n15 G01 Z-1.2         (feed at feedrate to z= -1.2 )(SECOND CUT)
n16 G00 X0.3        (rapid feed to x=.3)
n17 G00 Z0.05        (rapid fees to z=0.05)(starting position of zaxis on next cut)
n18 M30              (REWINd)
%


Just a thought, (;-) TP

IF I read you correctly use the brain this way . When you turn on the mist with the M7 then 10 sec later the mist will turn off.


Miston(led) --------- No OP------------ Timer for 10 sec ------------- Button(mistoff)


BUT also as Hood said it is just as good to use the M7 in the Gcode to turn it on then use the M9 to turn it off where ever you want. It has NO effect on the motion.

Newfangled Solutions Mach3 Wizards / Re: Threading Multiple Start

« on: December 10, 2011, 08:51:23 AM »

You calculate the thread height for 1/2 rev then add that to the starting point. Have done it several times for large threads. It will put the second start 180 deg out from the first.

I believe that the SNL uses the current feedrate that is set.
