Hi again, sorry for the delay in replying, got the flu and it's been kicking my butt...
Thank you Aciera, with your help I did work out a solution to this, mostly using trial and error, using the following python code did the trick:
With remap:
The error I was getting was seemingly because if you had a yield in one spot (the end), you need to have them before EVERY return. I could be wrong though.
I had to separate the prelog routine to first raise the head, as if I did this in the same python function, it would get thrown into the queue, and wouldn't action until after the Tk dialog box got destroyed.
Also I found that if I separate the Tx M6 G43 into two separate self.execute lines, then the G43 seems to occur before the preceeding G10?
I think the interpreter has a funny way of queueing the code, I'm sure that over time I'll get better versed with it.
For now it's working though, so I'm happy!
So when I order an M10 Pxx (my remap);
- my head raises to max height,
- asks for the new tool offset (tool Pxx), this gets loaded into the tool table,
- then asks me to place the tool into the spindle (through QTDragon's manual tool change).
- The current tool is then set with the tool offset and the program continues
Thanks again for your help!
