Hi guys i have a program that generates timing pully code for 4th axis i last used it with mach3 worked fine
that was along time ago just got my 4th axis up and running again
generated the code for a new pulley just for a trial
but i get an error in emc unknown code ???
anyone take a look

M98 P0001 Q16

I believe EMC and mach may use m98 differently.

You will need to change your post processor to output g code for EMC and not Mack.

The first error is EMC does not have a G50... the error does point you to the line where the error is. Also the line that starts with O0001 might be your next error or the M98 might be the next... to make a long reply short no code will port directly between different controls if they go beyond G0 or G1 and some controls even treat them differently.

i got this ages ago when i was using mach

dont know emc that well
i will have to look in to how emc does a subroutine if at all

Does it have a Fanuc post processor? IIRC that is close enough to EMC to work with basic code.

Subroutines are defined ahead of the call and may use names or numbers like so:
G20 G4 etc (preamble)
o<mysub> sub
... lines of code
o<mysub> endsub

o100 sub
... some code
o100 endsub

o<mysub> call 
o100 call
M2 (end of program)

This is the 2.5 Subroutines docs for the upcoming version due to be released real soon.

I think with some cut and paste of the code you can make it work with EMC... It's a shame that some people only target a small portion of the CNC market by limiting themselves to one control system.

BTW, have you seen the Simple G Code Generators on the wiki? I'd bet one of them could be modified to do the timing gear stuff as it is only math formulas.

found a easy way to do it with M92 and the repeat command

There you go then... I love it when a plan comes together.
