Coolant Pressure in Status Window

Hi Guys,

A few of my users have expressed that they would like to see Coolant pressure added to the Status window, at the minute I've got them watching a variable but it would be nice to integrate this if possible.

I dont believe its currently supported but if it is then please correct me

Cheers...

Re: Coolant Pressure in Status Window

In VERICUT, there are 4 states for coolant that can be set by macros:

Coolant On
Coolant Mist
Cooland Flood
Cooland Off

These states can be monitored in the Status window. For additional information, you can also send a message to the logger for the pressure value.

I do not know the format of your command, but for this example, let's pretend that it is M8 Pn where P is the pressure.

In the control for the word P with M8, Add the assignment of a variable (for this I created #9999) add MessageMacro, override value=3, override text = Coolant Pressure is {#9999}

This will create an info message. The Project file must be configured to display the Info messages in the Logger window:

Project > Processing Options > G-Code > Process Options...
Messages tab
Send Info Messages = To G-Code Log and Logger
OK

So for M8P900,
the message in the logger will be:
Coolant Pressure is 900
