So I had a long v-carve run today of 50 identical shapes in ply, and my spindle was starting to get a bit hot. I hit "s" to pause things about half way through for a bit to let it cool down.
After about 20 minutes, I hit resume and the spindle drills itself up to the collet into the work, and tries to keep on going. I did nothing other than hit S, and resume. Does anyone have any idea why this would happen? Very frustrating.
The worst part is that it my position is off so I have to Z3 again...this is going to cause issues with the parts that I already have cut, as I won't be able to get the zero dialed in enough to run over the top of the previous cut parts.
I can't just restart the file at a specific line number because I created a master file that loops thru an x and y counter calling a single cut file over and over and different 2d offsets.
I figured I could just edit the file to "skip" over the areas that have already been cut, but this statement does not work in SB:
if &xcount < 3 and &ycount < 5 then GOSUB skip
The software does not seem to evaluate this statement properly. It never does the GOSUB.
I have printed my vars right above this statement, and they are incrementing properly.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
thanks,
Howie
