How should I order the commands so that the valve can be opened and closed at the desired position?

for i=1:5

comd2=['M03 on',tar_point];

writeline(s,comd2)

tar_point=[' X',num2str(pos(i,1)),' Y',num2str(pos(i,2)),' Z',num2str(pos(i,3))]; ้

comd1=['G01 F200 ',tar_point];

writeline(s,comd1)

pause(1.0) ์

comd3=['M05 off',tar_point];

writeline(s,comd3)

end

%Positions are placed in the 'pos' variable.

Hi Matthew,

As per my understanding, you would like to write a code to automate the opening and closing of a valve and want to know what the correct order of commands will be to achieve the objective.

After analysing the code provided, the order of commands looks correct. However, in “comd2” it can be noticed that the “tar_point” variable is used before it is initialized for that position.

Please refer to the following code snippet for reference:

for i=1:5 
    tar_point=[' X',num2str(pos(i,1)),' Y',num2str(pos(i,2)),' Z',num2str(pos(i,3))];  
    comd2=['M03 on',tar_point]; 
    writeline(s,comd2) 
    comd1=['G01 F200 ',tar_point];  
    writeline(s,comd1) 
    pause(1.0)  
    comd3=['M05 off',tar_point]; 
    writeline(s,comd3) 
end 
%Positions are placed in the 'pos' variable. 

I Hope this helps.
