Help with Post Processor...

[krsykes23]

Hi all,

I'm trying to add a couple of macro calls in my post processor, but can't get them to work.

I'm using SheetCam with the UCCNC post processor. I've edited this but obviously got something wrong. Basically, I've added M218 (Park) and M202 (Reset Timer), both of which work if entered in the MDI.

I added the two lines under the M5 and M30.....

function OnFinish()
post.Text (" M05 M30\n")
post.Text (" M202\n") --Park
post.Text (" M218\n") --Reset Timer
end

These show correctly when I post G-code....

G00 Z5.0000
G53 G0 Z0
M05
M05 M30
M202
M218

What am I doing wrong?

They need to be before the M30.
M30 rewinds to the beginning, so your M202 and M218 never get called.

Thanks Gerry. Rookie error.....I knew it'd be simple!

Cheers.
