Table and spindle Warmup macro

[zz0122]

Hi,
I tried to to add the macro below to my "AUX 56" button, that I got from other website.
I modified the macro to tailored my machine, went to c:\cncm folder, modified "mfunc56.mac" and saved.
When I run the macro, I received "Syntax Error" on my 1st # (marked below)
DId I do the correct procedure? is the macro wrong?

You need a semi-colon before the beginning of your comment. Change that line and the others like this:

Code: Select all

#100=25 ;(Min X Travel)

Hi slodat,
Thank You

[zz0122]

Now I got "Could not open "O2000.cnc"
and its pointing out to "M98 P2000 ;(Warmup axes)"

sorry for all "New User" questions...

TIA

If you want to include a numbered subprogram in the same file that you are going to call it from, then it needs to:
1) Precede the M98 call, and
2) Be numbered between 9100 and 9999

Hi cncsnw,
I tried, change the # to above 9100 as you said, and now I received "Variable is read only"

Not the variables. Just the program number. You need to change the variables back to the #100 series.

Hi cncsnw,
I changed back the variable to 100 series per your advise,

The subprogram has to be before any of the M98 calls as CNCSNW already mentioned.
