Mpbosto post processer

Hi guys,

i have a mpbosto post which i need to modify to get R for rapid and instead of feed like F500.,i want it to be feed variable like FV50.

As far as the feed formatting goes: find the format statement for the feedrate variable,

fmt F 5 fr$ # Feedrate

and change it to

fmt FV 5 fr$ # Feedrate

 

I did a bostomatic post years ago w/ the R for rapid and P for pause, a typical rapid line looked something like this:

X237500Y2500RP

 

I'll try to remember how I did it and get back to you if the other guys don't get to it first

I just checked out V9's mpbosto.pst and saw these 2 lines:

prapid # Linear line movement - at rapid feedrate

pcan

pcan1, n, sccomp, sgcode, x, y, z, "R", strcantext

pcan2

 

pzrapid # Linear movement in Z axis only - at rapid feedrate

pcan

pcan1, n, "G40", "G01", z, "R", strcantext

pcan2

 

Make your lines look like these and perhaps modify:

sg00 G00 # Linear movement at rapid feedrate G code

sg01 G01 # Linear movement at feedrate G code

 

to

 

sg00 G01 # Linear movement at rapid feedrate G code

sg01 G01 # Linear movement at feedrate G code

 

and the R thing should work for you
