Add gear/range change to linuxcnc turn post

For the past while i have been using mastercam v9 for my linuxcnc powered lathe , I use 3 M codes to select speed ranges , this was easy to setup in the mastercam post but im having a hard time with the fusion post.

All the information i can find online seems to be a bit dated or the post format has changed , it looks like there used to be a fairly simple section for the spindle but now is more complicated than i can handle.

1-649 rpm - M101
650-1199 rpm - M102
1200-2200rpm - M103

Here is what the code should look like , note the M102 before the spindle turns on , If using constant surface speed it should output the M code for the max RPM

G0 T0002 M06 G43
G97 M102 S1200 M03
G0 G54 X1.8013 Z.11 M8

I have attached the newest linuxcnc turn post with a few small changes i have made for other things.including G43 at every tool change .

Thanks for any help you are able to offer.

 

it took me a few days of reading and playing but i got it working even with  CSS , in the properties tab you can now define you highest speeds for the ranges and fusion will automatically output the desired M code , im used to old mastercam posts but getting the hang of fusion.

once i figured it out this was fairly easy to setup using some bits from an okuma post , you can add as many gears as needed.

here is my current linuxcnc post, setup to switch between 3 gears based on defined speeds in the property tab , puts G43 at every tool change , properly posts G28 , working CSS (selects high gear) , several other changes im forgetting. 

download the text file and change to .CPS , i am not responsable for your machine.
