Looked and searched here, but didn't find anything that seemed to fit...
anyways...
My question, is interactive data entry possible???
application is plasma table,
Mach3 control software..
basically I'd like to see a prompt such as "Input Desired IPM Feed Rate"
and then be able to enter desired rate, and have the gcode update, or be applied..
When I use it, there are quite a few times that I cut the same part out of different thicknesses of material...
right now I just edit it, but interactive would be "nicer' if possible
thanks
Maybe initially program a mean or maximum feed rate, then use a M0 with a prompt message at that point, then adjust the feed rate override to the desired rate.
Then cycle start to continue.
