toolchange

Post by jacala »

Hello!

I've got my chinese router (wk1313) up and running with sheetcam and I'm using the V-carve plugin.

It work great but for some reason the toolchange function does work but does not pause.

So the router shuts down and goes to the predefined location that I entered in sheetcam but starts right up again and continues.

It is logical to me that I must enter a "pause" command in "run code before toolchange" area but I'm not an expert and don't know the right code to enter.

:roll:

Use:

Code: Select all

M0
Note that is M followed by the number zero.

Hello Les!

I tried that, just enter M0 in the box but it did not work.

I'm using a DSP deliverd with the machine and the "minimum G-code post processor" from sheetcam.

It stops for a second, than powers up again and continuous to cut

I am rather surprised your controller doesn't recognize M0.Try M1 instead.
