Dwell after spindle start on generic heidenhain post.

[ollienor]

Nice simple one for somebody who's better at JavaScript than me.

I'm using the generic heidenhain.cps post processor for fusion360.  I need it to generate a 3 second dwell after the spindle starts up.  It's an older machine and the spindle takes a bit of time to speed up and it doesn't wait to reach speed before it moves.  Putting a 3 second dwell after every single M3 or M4 would totally fix all my problems.

I can see there's a function for dwell on line 1751 and a command to start the spindle on line 3164.  I just don't know how to connect the two.

I suspect this will involve a couple lines of code and about 30 seconds of somebody who is competent's time.

Hi @ollienor 

You can add 'onDwell(3);' function just after line number 1451,

Save the file and check the result.

Thank you @Arun.rs, for me that was after line 1480 but I was able to locate the equivalent part of the script.

That is exactly what I wanted. Thanks!
