Subject: Manual Tool Change Routine Modification
I am currently using the KFLOPManualToolChange.c program for handling tool changes. Each time a tool change happens the message box comes up on the computer screen requiring that I press "OK" to continue on with the G code.

My question is can I use my cycle start button (bit 1104) to effectively press the "OK" button? I know I could add code to advance the C program with the button press, but I am not sure about clearing the message box.

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan,

There isn't currently a mechanism for simulating the operator pressing the OK button.

The only suggestion I have is to not invoke the message box.  Instead place a comment in the GCode for which tool is to be loaded and place an M0 in the GCode to halt.  Then Cycle Start could be used to continue.

Regards

TK

Bummer. 

Doing the M0 thing is getting old. Having to hand edit each program after the CAM software posts it out. Some programs are 10,000+ lines of code. I will have to look at modifying the post.

I was using a wait for the cycle start bit to go high about a year ago after you patched it for me. But it seems that function is not working again in the full release of 4.33.
