New UCCNC function

[Dan911]

I am stating a new function project. Teh object is to Make this line of Gcode work.

M65 (" if(6<=7){exec.Code("M98P2");} ")

Oh, ok I was trying to do what you first posted.

[Dan911]

Yes, UCCNC don't like YOU messing with axis positions when Gcode running.

Use the format shown below, in brackets is condition and number after L is the UCCNC line number it will go to. Make sure to use Macro in zip.
You will get a Press Cycle start status message, this can easily be removed.

G90
G0 X0 Y0 Z0
M65 ( [6<=7]L4 )
G1 X10 F50
o2
G1 Y10 F50
G0 X0 Y0
M30

EXPERIMENTAL PURPOSE ONLY!!!!

Terry it does work. I see in your status message that it’s being sent twice. This means you didn’t use the new macro inside the zip file like I said to make sure to do in instructions

Btw it does not run in a loop

Terry, 6 is usually less than 7, so it will jump to line 4 and check it again. Don't forget: the line numbering begins with zero.

[Dan911]

Line number is not the problem, the older macro is. Had same problem, take look and older and will see sending string twice.
Tested xp32 and 8.1 64

No I haven’t tried it, you posted it didn’t work or removed. I will try when home, not in front of comp now.

Not familiar with M98 P2 at all. Is it in manuaul?

Not familiar with M98 P2 at all. Is it in manual?

I see...cool

I wish I tested this before, may take a different approach using with condition. Can eliminate a lot of code if can get it to work.

Hi Terry,
The M98P works much better than the method I conjured up.

Playing around with this again this morning and starting to come into focus to me of what's possible and what's not. The conditional side of plugin I sort of slapped together and had some issues, I fixed and now works well, it will also read the #variables as there value.

The jump to line works great with the M98P?, problem is I know nothing about parametric programing and what's expected of this jump. Is it up to parametric programmer to be in correct XY position before jump in code like your sample Gcode?, or is a safeZ retract expected and redirect to this new xy position if not there.

One thing is for sure I see, it's not possible to redirect/insert code in running Gcode, a Stop() is needed. With this stop brings a cycle start press.

Hi Terry, this is what I did.

Will read condition and if true z will go to safeZ and Gcode pointer will jump to o#, a Cycle Start press is required to continue with Gcode. All settings will remain on as before M65 call.
Make sure the P value matches the o-value or Gcode will remain idle.

Format as follows.... M65([8<10]P1) only the condition in brackets, right now the condition is only capable of 2 variables but can read the #0 - #999 in Gcode. The plugin returns the true or false condition to macro so If you choose you can remove the P and plugin will do nothing except return condition and do what you like with it in macro.
