Can anybody help me out? I understand just about nothing when it comes to the post processor.

[Jimmy Wakeford from Barefoot CNC]

Check the math on post lines 236 and 237 (use edit-goto line)

 

The postlines 242,245 and 300 have dollar signs where they should not be.

 

HTH

[specprogrammer]

(242)omitz$ : no$ # Omit first Z movement for non-canned-cycles

(245)omitrefht$ : no$ # Don't use reference height on first non-canned Z move

(300)usemr1$ : no$ # Use mr1 for tool diameter instead of param page input

 

should I just delete the $, or move it, where?

[specprogrammer]

(236)yes$ := # Set yes = 1

(237)no$ := # Set no = 0

[Guest]

code:

---

yes$ : 1   # Set yes = 1

no$ : 0 # Set no = 0

---

Try setting it like this instead.

 

I am curious how old this post is too to still have yes/no set this way?

[specprogrammer]

Same errors. This post has been here as long as I have. 10 years. Its been updated using the post utility update thingy that comes with each new version of MC since V8. A post request is in, but I haven't heard back yet. Hurcos can be a little different than the standard Fanuc.

[Guest]

I am looking through a Hurco post I have,

 

code:

---

#omitz$ : no$ # Omit first Z movement for non-canned-cycles

#omitrefht$ : no$ # Don't use reference height on first non-canned Z move

#usemr1$ : no$ # Use mr1 for tool diameter instead of param page input

---

Place a pound in front of those lines and leave the yes/no they way I posted above

[specprogrammer]

Made those changes. Now I'm only getting the lnes 236 and 237 math calc/formula error. It cleared up the errors on lines 242, 245, and 300.

[Roger Peterson]

There is no reason to intialize yes$ and no$ as they are predefined variables, just pound them out.

[specprogrammer]

Great! It posted with no errors. Thanks for the help guys. Now I just have to check it at the machine. Thanks again.
