in

This tutorial will describe how to create script file for short delay after Mist(M8)is turned ON.

With PlanetCNC TNG, user can create or customize g-code procedures (e.g. for M7,M8 g-codes, M6 g-code) using script files.

Script files are located in Scripts folder of corresponding profile in PlanetCNC TNG installation folder.

 

To create and modify M8 g-code script please follow steps below:

1. Start PlanetCNC TNG software and click File/Settings/Program Options/Scripts and find M-code option. From drop down menu select M8 and click Edit Script.

2. Blank M8 script file is created and opened in default text editor
3. Add M8 and G04 g-codes into blank file. Script file should include g-code lines:

M8
G04 P5

 

Now after each time we turn Mist ON, software waits 5 seconds before it continues with program execution.
