Mpmaster for X

[gcode]

The new Mpmaster for X is in the Post section of the forum now. I used the intial release to build

a full rotary 4X horizontal post and had no trouble at all.

 

 

Thank you In House Solutions

Thx Inhouse!

Would it be worth it to change my v9_mpmaster posts (Big thanks IHS) to the X version keeping in mind that the post sizes are 338k and 357k?

[gcode]

I just finished setting up an Mpmaster for a

Haas 4X machine.

The code looks good, but I'm getting some errors in the log file. I don't think they are important, but they bug me.

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of them??

If you're happy with your V9 post updated with UpdatePost.dll, then no worries, that should work just fine.

 

Maybe in your updated post, change this in pcomment2

 

code:

---

if gcode$ = 1008, pbld, n$, pspc, "(", scomm$, ")", e$

 

to

 

if gcode$ >= 1008, pbld, n$, pspc, "(", scomm$, ")", e$

---

as for control def warnings/errors, I was trying to initialize all post variables to jive with the Control Def, but if you change your Control Def, they'll come back, so the best bet is open your Control Def, Files, and change your Posting error file settings to be On fatal errors, All error messages to file.

 

I'm still not on board with 0.0001 inch and 0.001 metric for the NC Precision. I had been using .000001 inch and .000001 in the V9 Mpmaster. That's out of the post writer's hands now, and in yours through the Control Def...
