Thanks for being patient with me, this is a lot to take in. On a second glance, is that what ladder logic is for, to add logic flow to a list of connections? My laptop battery just died and this is still here.
#LINUX CNC TOUCH PLATE CODE#
I'll try running a simple o code statement tonight just to see if I can get one to work.Īs an alternative, would the hal file accept if then statements? I'm a little fuzzy on weather or not it flows like a regular programming language, or does it just keep track of pin connections? whew. So they're used in place of a value in a G code line instead? How do you think I could use that to squeeze two lines of g code from one MDI command? Calling a file seems like my best bet. That's why I expected something more customizable like running a few lines of g code or logic functions.Īs for the O codes, I thought they were used on a line by themselves. This is possible using the following MDI commands scheme"

I double checked the integrators manual and it says, "Sometimes the user wants to add more complicated tasks to be performed by the activation of a
What I want to do is, jog to where I want my x,y origin to be > set up my touch off plate > press a button > and whalla! my coordinates are set and all I have to do is start my program. All the probe move does is move til it hits something and record its position.

I'll have to install classic ladder to try it out. If your really wanting to call a subroutine look a the "O" codes. I'm not sure if you can call files from the mdi. ini file with the code? Any help would be greatly appreciated.ĬhuckChuck the net part creates the connection, the signal name is remote-z-axis-touchoff, the <= are only to make it more readable. What do the net and remote commands do? What do I replace "mdi-command-00" so that I can call a file or sub section in my. and "mdi-command-00" lets me run one mdi command from my. This "<= pyvcp.z-axis-touchoff" connects my button to the preceding command. Net remote-z-axis-touchoff halui.mdi-command-00 <= pyvcp.z-axis-touchoff I'm pretty sure that I have to change my postgui.hal file line for that button. I followed the tutorial then renamed the button and changed the gcode line.

I'm new to EMC and just starting to learn about the interactions between files.Ĭan someone help me figure out how to get a VCP button to run multiple lines of gcode? So far I have a button controlling a probe move for my touch off plate but can only run one line of code. I know this thread has been silent for a while, but I've been trying to do the same thing as cansir using this tutorial.
Does anybody have some examples of using python scripts within EMC? I see lots of examples on interfacing with hardware, but nothing showing how I can add a button onscreen that executes some G-Code commands.
When prompted to do a tool change, it would be nice if I could repeat the above steps and afterwards have the router return to it's last XYZ position before signaling that the bit change is complete. Viola! EMC is configured to cut to the exact depth specified in my job I hit a button in AXIS and it magically lowers the router until the bit touches the pad I jog the router to be above the touch-pad I lay my touch-pad (the thickness of which is already known to EMC) on top of the material One way would be to type in those gcodes line by line on the MDI interface and the other would be, even before launching EMC2, to do a search on the G-code file and insert that code snippet after every toolchange command. I use the AXIS interface and I can only see two ways to implement that touch-off gcode. I've been looking over that code and I'm starting to understand it, but the implementation of it still leaves me puzzled.
