Adding G05.1 to MPfan based post.

[Bruce Caulley]

Ahoy! I posted this in the off topic section by mistake.

 

I have searched and read up on a couple of threads related to this, but my post does not have the phsmon and phsmoff blocks. I am also a little hampered by an 18 month "holiday" from MC so the limited post tweaking abilities I did have are all but gone.

 

I have put:

 

code:

 

if mi4$=1, n$, "G05.1 P1", e$

!mi4

 

in Psof$ and have setup mi4 as needed. This is working great to turn it on, but I am having trouble with the placement of:

 

code:

 

if mi4$=1, n$, "G05.1 P0", e$

!mi4

 

in the correct place.

 

I want it on the line before the Z retract at the end of the op, but cannot for the life of me find the correct spot.

 

I also know I will need to do some logic to check previous value for mi4, but will try and plod through that myself before asking. [big Grin]

 

Any help appreciated.

MPMaster has this already in it..

Bruce I'm with James use the Mpmaster post it has all the options you need, and utlilizes the new coolant in X2.

I was hoping no-one would say that

 

I'll have a look again after the weekend.

Just trying to point you to the easiest solution my friend...

 

But with that said... for certain reasons I won't go into right now...I had to add this to an MPFAN post today. I robbed the logic and associated stuff from MPMaster and it took me about 20 minutes.

This is for a new machine, so I will start again from scratch with an MPmaster.

If the G05.1 is the only look ahead you're going to use and you want it automatically with no misc integer call...

 

Add a variable;

 

code:

---

g05_1_flg   : 0      #Flag to indicate G05.1 look ahead function is active

---

Add a couple postblocks;

code:

---

pg05_1_on         #G05.1 function on 

if opcode$ = 3 | opcode$ = 16,

[

if g05_1_flg = 1, pg05_1_off

]

else, if g05_1_flg <> 1,

[

pbld, n$, "G05.1", "P1", e$

g05_1_flg = 1

]

 

pg05_1_off #G05.1 function off

if g05_1_flg = 1,

[

pbld, n$, "G05.1", "P0", e$

g05_1_flg = 0

]

---

Search for all of your "G43" codes and add this in the line before;

code:

---

      pg05_1_on

---

Add it also in ptlchg0$. The location is going to vary here depending on your post, I would try in the line before

code:

---

..., pfcout, pfxout, pfyout,...

---

Turn it off in ptoolend$ and peof$

code:

---

ptoolend$        #End of tool path, before reading new tool data

!speed, !spdir2

if nextop$ = 1002, pg05_1_off

 

peof$ #End of file for non-zero tool

pg05_1_off

pretract

---

I thinks that is all you need.
