Questions before purchasing: Pausing in G-code

GS76 · Post by **GS76** » Tue Oct 02, 2018 9:19 am

Hi All,

I am looking to purchase the Centroid Acorn system.

I am wondering if it is possible to have a M function and/or similar that allows a "message box" to pop up after a G04 dwell g-code that allows the option to click OK and hence allow the program to continue running.

Please see attached G-code program. The CNC motion control software I am currently using allows this as a comment and creates a message box.

Is this possible with Acorn without a lose in position once continuing?

Thanks in advance.

hello. short answer is: yes. there are several easy ways to accomplish this.
Typically M200/201 are used. from the operator manual M200 is "Stop and wait for operator and prompt for Action:
These M codes are used for many different types of custom messages and actions.

Thank you so much for the prompt reply.

Where can I get the latest version of the operators manual.

Much appreciated.
