How to locate programs? <Solved, Spindle warm up macro>

[Tim Berframe]

How do I determine what code snippet is assigned to a button on the panel? I want to edit the spindle warm up but dont know what file name to look for.

macros are .mac or .cnc most are located in c:\cncm or c:\cncm\system

Turn on single block mode and then click the button in question. The preview text will show one line at a time and will most likely show what .mac or .cnc file is associated with it (as long as the macro has that info at the top of the code).

I could use a little help with the spindle macro as well, I recently upgraded to 5.24 and realized that stock spindle warm up was linked to the router vcp button. How do I find this stock Spindle warm up? The VCP manual mentions m56 but that macro is not it. I would like to restore my old Spindle warm up but I need to know where to go looking for it in my backup.

Thanks!

The stock spindle warm up file is at C:\cncm\system\perform_spindle_warmup.cnc. Edit it to have what your previous file has (copy/paste), or just copy your file into that folder and rename it to perform_spindle_warmup.cnc. Rename the stock one to something like perform_spindle_warmup_OEM.cnc first.

As a convenience feature I added the spindle warm up macro to my home macro. After the machine homes it asks me if I want to run the spindle warm up procedure. I can answer yes or no depending on the situation. This skips a few steps since it needs to be done at the first start up of the day. I also removed the stock M4 button on the VCP and replaced it my own custom "spindle warm up" button and I can run it that way also.

Thanks, any idea where the default spindle warm up was on 5.08 would have been. It seems that it was different in that version as I do not have a perform _spindle_warmup.cnc in same directory as 5.24 .

I like the idea of adding to the home macro, would you mind sharing the code that prompts for a yes or no to warm up the spindle?

Before V5.10, it was mfunc77.mac in the cncm directory.

Thanks! Found my old spindle warm up and moved it to the new location and renamed it.
