Mcode out of range, greater than 199 error was created by Lcvette

Is anyone else getting out of range mcode errors? Getting these from time to time while tinkering in 5 axis switchkins builds on calls for the higher m codes.

Yes, I’ve also been encountering this type of error while adding custom logic in the INI file for my double Z CNC machine. I experienced the "out of range M-code" issue when working with higher M-codes. To resolve it, I attempted remapping the M428 code to T in the configuration file, which seemed to help in certain cases. It might be related to how the M-codes are being interpreted by the machine’s controller, so adjusting the logic or reassigning the codes can sometimes fix the problem. Has anyone else had success with a similar approach or found a better solution?

Same here.

I've cooked up a bunch of m-codes for my in-progress lathe and I had to do a remap for any >199.

So 100-199 are 'normal' M-codes in an "MCODES" folder, and 200+ are mNNN.ngc files in a "subroutines" folder.

This would indicate that the remap has not been setup correctly. Could you guys post your ini files that cause this error please?

using the switchkins example ini settings and sub files. my config is an experimental setup in a work in progress branch in probe basic for multi axis simulation. not sure you would want to dissect through that to hunt down the issue, but here is the github link to the branch if you do!

Changed to AxisGUI (as I don't know how to set up Probe_Basic) and commented out the POSTGUI_HALFILE (as I got start up errors about missing hal pins) then tested in current master on a non-rt RIP installation. Seems to work fine for me.

Aciera,

The error only occurs when I don't remap m-codes higher than 199. If you don't remap, then LCNC's standard user m-code range is 100-199, using capital "M" and no file extension.

Using remap and mxxx.ngc permits an essentially unlimited number of m-codes. I get no errors with my remap:

This works fine for me (combo of user m-codes and remapped mcodes)

@Lcvette
Do you get the same errors when running the switchkins sim configs that are included in the standard Linuxcnc installation?
