MPMaster change R-Plane output

[heeler]

I am trying to tweek the mpmaster post for a faagor control. The faagor wants to have the R-Plane to be output as a Z value, and the Z-Plane or depth to be an I value for example I post this

quote:

---

N116 G99 G82 Z-.0494 Z0. R.19 K1 F20.

N118X-11.8701Y2.0509

N120X-10.6203Y2.049

---

and I need this

quote:

---

N120 G82 G99 Z.19 I-.0494 K50 F20.

N122X-11.8701Y2.0509

N124X-10.6203Y2.049

---

The biggest problem I have is getting it to change the Z to an I.

Thanks

P.S. I had to put faagor because ***or looks like this.

The issue that you are having is that Z value needs to be I value but only for drilling cycles. Here is one way of doing it:

 

1. Define address I:

 

stri "I"

 

2. Assign zabs/zinc from "Z" to "I" in pdrlcommonb:

 

quote:

---

result = nwadrs(stri,zabs)

result = nwadrs(stri,zinc)

---

Now, your pfzout in drill cycles would output Z values as I.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Ying.

Thanks Ying,

That is what I have done and it works perfectly except that you have to put it back after the drill cycle.

quote:

---

result = nwadrs(strz,zabs)

result = nwadrs(strz,zinc)

---

Otherwise all of your Z's will become I's after a drill cycle call.
