M Code Simultaneous Flood and Mist Coolant
Posted: Sun Jan 07, 2018 1:04 pm
Trying to run a two solenoid cutting system. One for preheat the other for cut. I have them setup on flood coolant and mist coolant respectively. It works fine with both the VCP and keyboard. The problem I am having is, that although I can operate both at the same time manually, when called for by the M code it seems to only operate one or the other. Flood shuts off as soon as mist is called for, not waiting for the M09 command. Les from SheetCAM got me started with the post code. You can see that here.

Is this an error in the coding or a limitation of the Acorn?
Yes I could use the spindle control to run one solenoid, but I like the layout of the coolant controls on the VCP. Just me being picky but if its possible why not. I could also probably use a diode to run the preheat whenever the cut is called for but not the opposite.
