how do i mod the m6 script to issue a m5
« on: August 17, 2016, 06:00:50 AM »
as above

my setup does all the correct things for a tool change box comes up ( i have not cancelled this yet ) led flashes with request to press cycle start

OK it all works H offset is correctly applied

what line of script do i put into the Lua m6 command to stop the spindle to allow the tool change


i get round this by stopping the spindle with the button on the right

Thanks in advance

Stuart

You're g-code should be stopping the spindle before it gets to the tool change.

Stuart,

Did you ever manage to get this issue fixed?

I am having the exact same issue.
