Post Mod...Gcode nonmodal

[Barghest]

I'm trying to make my post think that gcodes are nonmodal so that itll output G0-G1-G2-G3's on each line. Does anyone know if thats possible.

 

Code now

G1 X...Y...

X...Y...

G2 X...Y...

X...Y...

 

Code wanted

G1X...Y...

G1X...Y...

G2X...Y...

G2X...Y...

if you look at plinout and pcirout, try changing sgcode to *sgcode and see what you get

[Barghest]

that did do what i wanted but it also added some unnecessary gcode.

 

 

G00X-.4566Y.3328

G01

G01G41D01Y.2328

G03X-.4266Y.2028Z-.5I.03J0.

G01X7.8234

G03X7.8534Y.2328I0.J.03

G01G40Y.3328

G01

Need to use the ' and I think that will accomplish what you are after.

It was 'sgcode

Now its *sgcode

Do they need to be together '*sgcode

probly not but just wondering

What is 'extra'? The G01 on the empty lines or more than that? The orphan G01 shouldn't hurt anything, although it looks goofy; try turning fastmode off and see which postblock is outputting the 'extra' G01

Barghest,

 

Try this...

 

Below is a snippet from the std.(X2) MPFAN.PST

 

I found a 'fs' (format statement) that is set for non-modal output. (The lowercase 'n' denotes that).

and

Then added this line to the PST ->

fmt 16 gcode$ # format to be non-modal

 

code:

---

fs2 16  1 0 1 0n    #Integer, forced output

fs2 17 0.2 0.3 #Decimal, absolute, 2/3 place (tapping feedrate)

 

# This format statement is used for sequence number output

# Number of places output is determined by value for "Increment Sequence Number" in CD

# Max depth to the right of the decimal point is set in the fs statement below

fs2 21 0^7 0^7 #Decimal, 7 place, omit decimal if integer value

fs2 22 0^3 0^3 #Decimal, 3 place, omit decimal if integer value

 

fmt 16 gcode$ # format to be non-modal

Thankyou Roger Crazy and Chris. I added what Roger said and put the `sgcode back in, and all works great now.

It actually doesnt hurt anything I just done like messy code, and that looks messy to me

I am not a fan of ugly code either, so I'm glad Roger got rid of it; I'll add this page to my bag of tricks.

Thanks Roger I learned something as well.

Glad to help.

 

When a variable doss not have an assigned format, it is given 'fs 1' as a default format.

 

Since '1' is modal - any variable usage related to it will be modal.

 

But you say you're using sgcode, not gcode$.

But you are!

gcode$ is the selector variable used for selecting the 'G##' string from the String Table.

So all we needed to do was make it non-modal and now sgcode becomes non-modal.
