SheetCam scribe post processing help please

[btburn]

I'm working on putting a scribe on my Dynatorch Super Bee.
G-Code commands for my table are M08 for scribe on and M09 for scribe off.
When I tried making a test file to check for voltage and function SheetCam it's not putting any M08/M09 codes in.
I can manually enter the M08/M09 commands in and it will cycle voltage for the relay.
I made a drawing of multiple circles within circles to test, imported into SheetCam, made a new Jet tool #101 as Plate marker.
The post processor has my machine and the scribe codes listed.
I created the paths in SheetCam and ran the Post Processor and it's not giving me any M08 or M09 commands in the code.
It will move along the paths but I can't figure out how to make SheetCam Post Process correctly to put the correct commands for activating the scribe in.
I've searched all day and can't figure out what I'm missing. Any help is appreciated.

the post processor needs to be changed to put M08 and M09 in the G-code as needed, have you thought of changing the relay switching to M03

[Les Newell]

Current Dynatorch machines don't use M08/M09. In SheetCam go to Options->machine->post processor and look for function OnPenDown().
In that function is this line of code that turns the torch/scriber/flame on or off:
post.Text (" G23\n")
Change it to:
if(toolClass == "MarkerTool") then
post.Text(" M08\n")
else
post.Text (" G23\n")
end

In OnPenUp change the line
post.Text (" G25\n")

to:

if(toolClass == "MarkerTool") then
post.Text(" M09\n")
else
post.Text (" G25\n")
end

It's from 2015, I'll look into that when I get home. Thanks

I haven't looked into that, I was going by what I had in the scribe info for Dynatorch. In the scribe install instructions it has it wired into screw 5 which I get voltage change at when I manually enter M08/M09.

[acourtjester]

I cannot say how Dynatorch does it and it may be correct but the G-code needs to know how to trigger the relay. If you trigger the relay with M08 the G-code should have that to do it. It is like firing the Plasma torch the G-code uses M3.
For a simple test manually change line 120 to M08 and line 180 to M09 to see if it make the scribe move. I would single step the G-code.

That did it! Thanks so much!
