[Emc-users] For Jon Elson, Q on the 12 volts for the servo amp

2015-07-26 Thread Gene Heskett
Jon; I have some wall warts for a defunct portable phone charger base that measures, no load, 13.1 volts. I am considering using one of them for the 12 volts your pwm servo amp needs. This is not enough overvoltage to make a 7812 work, and if the logic draw is 100 mills I expect it will sag

Instead of that M98 P1000 L9 use O1000 CALL to execute the subroutine once. If you want to execute it more than once, use a loop (REPEAT, WHILE .. ENDWHILE, or DO ... WHILE) You should also define the subroutines before the main program. So your program could be: O1000 SUB G0Z2.34 G1x-5

It don't seem that LinuxCNC supports M98 and M99 for repetitive tasks.. like cutting slots with a specific distance.. For example.. G91 G21 F30 G1x-4.12 G0x5 M98 P1000 L9 G0x2 G90 G0Z50 M30 o1000 G0Z2.34 G1x-5 G0x5 M99 % (this would work in Mach3, for making several grooves on a cnc lathe).

This is the solution.. Just needed to change the output to a diff. syntax model. It does basicly the same thing so. =) Thanks. // A Den 2015-07-26 kl. 14:55, skrev Dave Caroline: Linuxcnc supports subroutines with a different syntax http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/o-code.html Dave
