I'm having a Teknic engineer logging in and helping tune my dual axis gantry tomorrow. In the email getting ready for this they requested this:
"The most important thing to prepare in advance of the appointment is to set up a small macro, or program that automatically moves the gantry back-and-forth over and over. Around 10 inches of motion should be fine. The pattern should be something like:
1. Move 10” in one direction
2. Pause for around a second
3. Move 10” back
4. Pause for around a second
5. Repeat hundreds of times"
How can I go about this? I know I could create a simple cut gcode and move it back and forth but I don't know how I would create the pause for a second.
Any suggestions?
