Conditional M09

[patrik_stellgren]

Hi,

Im by no means any programmer, however i've so far successfully made a couple of changes to the Heidenhain post to suite my TNC 370 on my Bridgeport.
But I'm kind of stuck now.

So basically i have normal flood coolant activated by M8 and deactivated by M9, pretty normal so far. But previous owner added air blast and it's programmed to activate with M58,  <- This part i handled in my post, but it can only be deactivated by M78..But i only get M9 from my post.

So my guess is i need some kind of conditional M9 / M78 for Coolant_Off depending on if Flood or Air was used.

Can you upload the post?

Thanks for the quick reply but i should have tried a bit harder before posting.
Problem solved

var m;
  switch (coolant) {
  case COOLANT_OFF:
   if (currentCoolantMode == COOLANT_AIR)  {
    m = 78;
    break;
    } else { 
    m = 9;
    break;
    }

is what i added and works like a charm.

Thanks again

Well different posts have different ways of doing this. That's why I asked for the post and couldn't give clear directions.

But all is well, you've learned something and have a working post. 8)

Hey Iccccie,

I also work with a bridgeport, i was wondering if you also need a "M6"?
My problem is that I can't get it in the wright place, the line before the "TOOL DEF" instead of behind the "TOOL DEF"

could you maybe mail me your modified post, it would help me alot...

Thanks,

Bart
