Now I have been for years describing manuals for Asian equipment as making your eyes bleed but the information is in there
Karma is a bitch
but PM to the rescue
Subprogram Problems on a TC-S2A
Once I read the post by angelw the information in the manual makes sense
Now it is bad enough to learn a new programing language after almost 30 years of Heidenhain, but while learning on a new machine entirely...
[Oh yeah I got a new Speedio]
The German manuals I have often said are pretty, the English is perfect, pictures, code examples, but frequently there will be important pieces of information just not there.
The Brother, what 4, 5 manuals, not an index among them.
sigh
Oh, and I have 12 hours a day of work to do in between trying to figure this out
I have often said I am retarded from using Heidenhain for so long I never needed CAM, and didn't get it till maybe 5 years ago.
But now I know why
Holy crap, in 1988 you could walk up to a Heidenhain and punch in a simple drill program and have perfect executable code in a few minutes. G Code or Conversational.
Perfect syntactically correct code. Sure your numbers could be wrong, but the code would run
Not picking on Brother at all, I think all these machines are like this, what exactly is the point of allowing bad syntax?
This is like going from a iphone 12 to PC DOS 1.0
Well, it is fun watching it drill holes at 20k rpm.
Yeah, starting slow.
