Hi all. I tried to ask this question on IRC last eve and had trouble staying in channel.
equipment - 25" X 49" X 4" gantry router for wookwork - all cutting is 2.5D I have a subroutine o100 that at present, I pass three values too Value 1 is the total depth of cut Value 2 is the incremental depth of cut Value 3 is the feed rate My past practice has been to cut and paste the gcode of a part into this subroutine. This has been fine for multiples of a single part. I recently started calling a gcode file directly from inside the subroutine which worked fine. What I would like avoid constantly cutting and pasting code (or filenames) into my "parts program" subroutine. I thought I could send via the subroutine a fourth value with the file name. The thought being that I can have a series of calls for different parts that I can cut out from the same sheet without having to mash up a massive gcode file. So I modified the O100 to add that fourth value. In the subroutine, I tried calling the file with O<#4> call. ON loading the code into Linuxcnc, I get the error "Near Line XXX urnary operation expected ....." Or something to that effect. I typed the exact error in IRC channel last eve if anyone saw that. Can I pass a filename through a subroutine call?? I did try renaming the file to a numer (10000.ngc) and tried passing both 10000 and 10000.ngc.
