Hi all- I've been working on getting the live tool system working on my lathe and am curious if it is at all possible (for me) to add interpretation of M53/M54/M55 to EMCTask, to activate "new" pins {motion.livespindle-forward, motion.livespindle-reverse, motion.livespindle.on} - which are equivalent to M3/M4/M5, but assigned to the "live" spindle motor. Spindle speed would be handled with the existing pins. I realize I can do this in the M100-M199 range, (which is what I'm doing with it right now) - however I'm hoping to retain some form of "traditional" Fanuc/Mori functionality. The real question is, can any non-implemented (m) code be parsed by an external rogram - just like the process of M100-199, or does it have to happen within a "modified" version of EMCTask? (ie, would my changes have to be redone if a new and lucrative release comes out?) Since one already gets a "unknown m code used" fault if M100 is called without an associated program, could EMCTask check for the existence of M53 (and thus any non-implemented code) in the PROGRAM_PREFIX directory as well by default?
Thanks, Ted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support?
