control def and limit nc text to 50

[Chris Rizzo]

Dr. Frankenpost here,

 

Trying to get my post to truncate text outputs to 50 characters, setting the value in the control def does not do anything.

 

 

 

 

This is a newly created post,control, and machine def. and I'm getting this error upon posting too.

Some things that were suppose to work with MD and CD are still buggy at best. In an instance like this I would use the post or limit my text till MR is out for finally release alot of these things have been adressed not sure if this is one of them or not.

Thanks Ron,

 

My old post omitted most of the text, but I'm switching to a new post here and though I'd give it a try in the CD. I'd really like to have more text available, but the dam haas machines alarm with anything more than 50 ? or so characters. Got any ideas as to getting post out put something like:

code:

---

%

O0000

(PROGRAM NAME - if its over 50 characters )

(go down to another line and continue)

( 02-01-06 20:58 )

N100 G20

N102 G0 G17 G40 G49 G80 G90

( 3/8 BULL ENDMILL 0.0625 RAD TOOL - 272)

( DIA. OFF. - 272 LEN. - 272 DIA. - 1. )

N104 T272 M6

N106 G0 G90 G54 X3.4731 Y1.5 A0. S1426 M3

---

I'm competent enought to pull stuff out of a post , but I'd rather have all the info just on multiple lines.

 

[Chris Rizzo]

This stuff doesn't work either???

It's actually 80 characters that haas can't exceed.

 

 

 

also what the heck does this mean, more importantly how can I get rid of ??? Clicking OK or CANCEL has no effect on the output.

On the Files page in the Control Def. there is a "NC Parameter" check box. Is it checked?

[Chris Rizzo]

I'd like that stuff unchecked (like it is), so it doesn't output nc comments...however whether it's checked or not makes no differene, all comments still are put in the .nc

[Guest]

Yeah, I'm going thru this right now editing a post. Checked, unchecked it does not matter the error comes up. It has no affect on the posted code though. Just very annoying, especially since there does not seem to be a way to turn it off.

 

 

Just rereading, wonder if it's the same post?

The one I am working on is the Generic Haas 4ax.

thx for the look-see John,

 

Yup, I'm messing with the Generic Haas 4ax too. What are you trying to do with yours?

 

mine needs to:

 

-limit ( ) output to 80 characters

-M09 needs to be BEFORE G91 G28 Z0.

 

I also did away with 1=g54, 2=g55, 3=g56, etc. We prefer 54=g54, 55=g55, etc. Much easier to keep things straight.

 

Another thing I've noticed that it doesn't matter if rot_on_x is on or off, the Machine Def. (with or without an A axis) trumps that.

 

I also can't seem to get this working either:

 

code:

---

stagetltype  : 2     #0 = Do not stage 1st tool

#1 = Stage 1st tool at last tool change

#2 = Stage 1st tool at end of file (peof)

---

[Guest]

go here and check this.

That's what I suggested, Mark. Looks like it's had very little effect, so far.
