Splitting time... and g-code
« on: October 06, 2010, 09:04:12 PM »
I've been doing some longer projects (14, 15 hours) and would like to split the jobs into reasonable segments of time.
Has Mach 3 (or knowlegeable folk in the forum) come up with a way to stop a job and continue later... or perhaps split sections of g-code?  If so, is there a video or PDF explaining this?  I've looked in my original info and can find none, and although there is a "stop" on one of the screens, I cannot figure out how to turn it off and come back later...
Thanks much for the help...

Hi, maybe you could put some M1 codes in your program, randomly include somewhere in your code and when you want to stop, just hit M1 enable button.

If M1 optional stop is not enable, M1 will be ignore.



I don't know if this what you're looking for.
