Looking for a little help on programing my machine using the "MDI store" function.
Boss 6 control
Here's what I'm doing and would like to do.
I am running multiple pieces with just a simple X-14.00 move...stop, turn off spindle, remove part, MDI back to X0G0...repeat
Here's what I'm doing because I'm like Sgt Schultz "I know nothing".......for each piece I am manually putting the numbers in the key pad and hitting EOB
Just thinking out loud...I assume there is a way to store this simple program into the memory and possibly just push "a" button to repeat the program once I start the spindle again without having to repeat putting all the info in the key pad for each piece?
I have the manuals and all I've found is brief talk about using the function but no clear path on "how to" use to it.
I love my old dinosaur and still run it on the original electronics. She can be touchy at times but nothing I haven't been able to figure out with the help I've received here when she goes quiet.
I know I could just write a little program and run it off the computer but I want to be able to manipulate the Z manually for the thickness which is different on certain pieces.
But then I would need to edit the Z for the different pieces in the program.
I'm still learning....hence my moniker cnc rookie.
Thanks in advance for any input.
