Anyone have a 2-axis post for OneCNC? Specifically I am trying to talk to a EZ Trak Plus Bridgeport. Somehow needs to hold and wait for us to manually do the z move.
I am getting good support from OneCNC......just hoping someone already has one.
Thanks
Scott

Scott,
Have you looked around in OneCNC's nc setup yet?
I would suggest that you modify your Rapid Line Format G00 to this:
M00 ({Z})
{G} {X} {Y}
And (perhaps) your Feed Line Format G01 to this:
{G} {X} {Y} {F}
M01 ({Z})
This will put a pause between every rapid movement, and will put the Z value in as a comment in parenthesis. The M01 in the feed lines may be able to be bypassed by flipping the Optional Stop switch, if you have that on your cnc.
This pause might be annoying in a long string of feed movements, so you would have to experiment with it, whether you want to change the feed lines format or not. It may be safe so long as you remember to never do any 3 axis movements in feed mode.
Good luck with it. Let me know if you get hung up on this. Be very careful running such programs until you can verify the safety of the code.
