Hello Tweakie,

in current case i did not try to change a previrious post.
depending on my bad  english i tryed to edit my last post
three times. i was allowed to edit it twice and than game over.

that was the reason i asked.

ok if it so, some of my post's have to live with my special type of Bavarian english.

ok i am pretty sure the next problem will be the dwell of the spindle,
because it is locking axis movement and so Input1 will go off again.

so i think the only practicable way well be to drive a axis not tangential and
control it miz g-code, something like this:

G0 Z0 A0
G0 X100 Y100
G0 Z70
M3
G1 X0
M5
G1 A90
M3
G1 Y80
M5
G1 A180
M3
G1 X100
M5
G1 A90
 

and so on.
what means you can only do straight line an no circles
(witch would not work anyway with this code for turn on/off spindle)

Hello Damir,

tested here:

M3
setUserLed(2100,1)

M5
setUserLed(2100,0)

macropump
If GetOEMLed(2100) and GetLed(4) Then
  If IsActive(Input1) Then
    DoSpinStop()
  else
    DoSpinCW()
  End if  
End If


don't ask me why GetUserLed does not work, GetOEMLed is working.

Hello Damir,

if the function should only be enabled between M3 and M5 call in
g-code we can use them to enable like this:

add this conde in M3

Code: [Select]

setUserLed(2100,1)
add this conde in M5

Code: [Select]

setUserLed(2100,0)

and this in macropump

Code: [Select]

If (GetUserLed(2100)=True) and (GetLed(4)=True) Then
  If Not IsActive(Input1) Then
    DoSpinCW()
  End if 
End If

  If IsActive(Input1) Then
    DoSpinStop()
  End if 

the only thing i see, that nothing resets the UserLed if
you cancle a program.
but give it a try.

Hello Damir,

the feedrate thing is not working to seperate between
G0 and G1. if i look to your g-code maybe we can use the
z-axis as second trigger like this:

act_Z=GetDro(2)

If (act_Z>69) and (GetLed(4)=True) Then
  If Not IsActive(Input1) Then
    DoSpinCW()
  End if  
End If

  If IsActive(Input1) Then
    DoSpinStop()
  End if

Hi Damir,

makes it a little bit clearer
put this in macropump:


act_feedrate=GetDro(13)

If (act_feedrate<3500) and (GetLed(4)=True) Then
  If Not IsActive(Input1) Then
    DoSpinCW()
  End if  
End If

  If IsActive(Input1) Then
    DoSpinStop()
  End if  


what i try to do with this:

act_feedrate=GetDro(13)
If (act_feedrate<3500) and (GetLed(4)=True) Then

is to the check the atual feedrate the 3500 must be lower than your G0 feedrate and
higher than your max G1.
try to use this to seperate between G0 and G1.

the GetLed(4)=True is to check that a g-code programm ist started.

Hello,

--Could we use M code in the G-code to activate the script, for example M3 activate script, M5 deactivate script (or we can create some other M code),
--because we are in the script from before had a problem because she started immediately as soon as start Mach3?
--thanks
--Damir

please try to explane what is the real clue behind this fuctionality,
because for the moment i am not that i understand 100% the thing.

maybe a snipped of your g-code wold help.
