Automatic pause when spindle is started

Hello,

It takes some time for my spindle to reach the desire rotation speed. So I have to manually ad a G4 P10 on every file that is generated from my CAM tool.
Is there a way to tell LinuxCNC to always wait for X secodns when the spindle is started before starting to move ?

Than you !

I used the "Spindle at Speed" Function. Like this.


net spindle-cmd <= motion.spindle-speed-out => pwmgen.0.value
net spindle-on <= motion.spindle-on => pwmgen.0.enable
net spindle-pwm <= pwmgen.0.pwm => parport.1.pin-16-out
setp pwmgen.0.pwm-freq 50.0
setp pwmgen.0.scale 30050.0
setp pwmgen.0.offset 0.000998336106489
net spindle-at-speed => motion.spindle-at-speed
setp parport.1.pin-17-out-invert 1
net spindle-on => parport.1.pin-17-out

Thank you that is probably it but not sure where this must be entered...
Nor the action of each individual line (like the value for freq, scale, offset...)

I need to study this somewhere.

Might look here...
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/m-code.html...53-Feed-Stop-Control

You might also use a user defined M code to start the spindle with a pause, call a sub that turns the spindle on and adds a delay.
Often the g code output of the cam can be modified, if so you can add the delay there or cause spindle on to call a sub.

So long as you have feedback (tack) from your spindle, you can use this. Or like Rick said, manually adding a pause in the g-code. I did that at first but still managed to crash a bit or two when I forgot to flip the switch on the spindle.

Hello,

I have actually no feedback from the spindle. So I need to put 10 seconds regardless and this should be OK.
