I know what psof is but exactly what is the 42?

Do you have Bug3 and/or Bug4 turned on?

Hi Charles

only fastmode

IF you look at line Bug2 this is what does all the work. 0 does nothing where as 30 does infro on the line and where as -30 posts out everything hope that helps

I think 42 is the nci line number.

Say Jimmy you deal with alot of router people like me, perhaps you can help me. I wrote a post for a Komo router with 4 parallel spindles, no tool changers. What I want to do is when they get a tool from the library say its number T500 I want that tool number linked to a work offset. The way I do it now is from the tool parameters page I select t/c then I set a unique work offset (1=G55 2=G56 etc)for that tool.

Im afraid sometimes the end user will forget to do this, so I want the work offset linked to the tool

I would appreciate any assistance

The way I do it is to tie a work offset to a spindle. t1 = g54 t2 = g55,etc

 

To run multiple tools at same time, say 1 and 3, The tool number would be t13. The post parses the tool number to see what tools are being used and either the lowest number tool gets the offset or the highest and the other is just slaved.

 

here is a sample:

 

s_tool_num #string for tool number

test1 : 0 #swicth for t1

test2 : 0 #swicth for t2

test3 : 0 #swicth for t3

test4 : 0 #swicth for t4

sg54 "G54"

sg55 "G55"

sg56 "G56"

sg57 "G57"

ptlchg

s_tool_num = no2str(t) #convert t num to string

#test for tool numbers

test1 = strstr(s_one,s_tool_num)

test2 = strstr(s_two,s_tool_num)

test3 = strstr(s_three,s_tool_num)

test4 = strstr(s_four,s_tool_num)

#set work offset number(lowest tool gets offset)

if test4 > 0, s_work_off = sg57

if test3 > 0, s_work_off = sg56

if test2 > 0, s_work_off = sg55

if test1 > 0, s_work_off = sg54

 

*s_work_off,e

 

 

I also use this for dropping the appropriate heads.
