Trying to make this work- G code

[kong]

Ooh, ooh, me again!
More from the instructions:

************ M60 Jump to subroutine ************ Jump to line number given and save return address. Usage: N020 M60 #10 ;Jumps to line 10. Use a unique N code when calling subs. ************ M62 Return from subroutine ************ Back to most recent M60 call. Usage: M62 ;Will jump back to line N020 and execute next line in the above example. See sample.cnc for a simple subroutine example. Please note that when using subroutines, you'll need a unique N code on each calling line so that the program knows where to go back to.

Therefore you will need to modify Rekd's code in order to run it, adding the line numbers for the sub-routine.
And if that doesn't work, then setup the machine just for one run, and use the automated production option, and set it for 50 runs.

Yep what kong said would be easier. 50 times.

ok guys ill give that a try. Thanks. This is so much fun!!!!
I feel like im in gcode! LOL

Rekd, when you say it's ok to have the two g's on the same line, are you talking about TurboCNC, or g-code in general?

Normally, in fanuc compatible G code, multible G codes are fine as long as they are not in conflict (ie from the same group) such as G1 and G3.

Multiple M codes on the same line is usually trouble.

CAM teh Fanucer T and the "MG's"

It sounds like the subroutine calls are more in what I would call "Bandit style", where the subroutine is nested inside the main program, preferably after the M30, but not necessarily if you can include an unconditional jump in the main program by commanding a line number on the next line after the M60.

The number associated with the M60 is the sub call address, there is no seperate "big O" program number involved.

Do you have the capability?
If so there you go. Yell if you need help.
