Greetings; Working on fine tuning the back panel carver, I am seeing something that makes me ask a question: Are touch offs unique to the co-ord map in use, disappearing when I switch maps?
And because I have the connector holes drilled and am now working on the dsubs, and since the meat of a connector hole is a 2 line subroutine, If I set a #<_var> to zero, and put an IF in the sub to skip those 2 lines if the var is lt 0.5, the first boreing the hole, the 2nd restoring the Z clearance it arrived there with. But thats a file ended w/o an m2 or % error on the first o140 call. That makes zero sense to me. Can it have a valid cause? If I comment the two o142 lines, stating the IF and the ENDIF, it works just fine but wastes 20 minutes re-carving the connector holes, and my diabetic feet are freezing out in the shop since its -5.6C out. The code, running in G54 o140 SUB o142 IF [#<_drill_10_holes> gt 0.5] G3 I-0.2812 J-0.0000 z#<_ZDN> P6 0142 ENDIF This is it, is a zero, not a lowercase o, cold fingers? PEBKAC obviously, it runs now. G1 F12 Z#<_ZUP> o140 ENDSUB =============== The prior moves and call, also running in g54: ( Drill socket holes) G1 F10 Y#<_bottom_row> Z#<_ZUP> G1 F10 X[#<_fst_lstX> + #<_hole_Xoff>] Y#<_bottom_row> s2500 M3 o140 CALL ( 1st hole ) The other code, running in g55 or g56 is carving the dsub patterns but its about 70 thou not deep enough. And adjusting the coord maps Z up and down seems to have zero effect.. Why not? Thanks everybody. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
