Steve:

Just load the M6Start Macro and put a carriage return between the two lines
and resave it, then things will run.. Fixed for next version...

Thanks,

Sorry Steve,

I quickly zeroed them . Fix the M6Start Macro by removng the offending
line and all should be fine. I didn't want a toolchange to do anything other
than just change tool in turn until I clean up the macro's for it.
(Wouldn't do to go to a 0,0,0 position or anything when an M6 was
interpreted...

Lee:

It was only the M93, there was none in the macro directory, so it halted
everything. It now ignores unknown macro's. (rc12).

Now got a different macro bug!
"Error in Macro at

Line Tool = Get Selected tool ()
Set Current Tool (tool)"

Hangs there, won't load graphics or file.

M5 end macro is blank - M6 Start macro contaims only the "error
line"???

You've got a rapid move (absolute) with a G54?? to X Y A?? (is that
really supposed to be there?) with a speed of 5000 and an M93??

with a

You've got codes there that Mach1 doesn't understand.

Art,

Mach2 RC12 requires the run command to be executed twice after a tool
change verses once with all previous releases.

Servo

Yes I agree now. Its what the CAM program generated. I'm dissecting it
and playing around with it. I dont get the G0 with no parms. I'm not
a GCODE expert,but I will be soon:-), I was hoping the CAM output was
ready to go as is. This is a good example to learn the details and
wonder why did it generate that...

Hi Art,
I finally got around to loading up Mach2 and I've been having
problems. Mach1 runs fine( with its caveats)
This code is from a standard FANUC postprocessor. This is a portion
of a file that runs fine in Mach1. In Mach2 it chokes with opening
the file during the"regen.. path"
message dialog on this line: N106G0G90G54X0.Y2.7969A0.S5000M93G4P2

Also once limits have been tripped, I used to be able to reset and
move the machine off the limit switch. I cant find how to do that

now

in Mach2. Is there an override. I just read thers and overide

button,

now I 'm looking for it :0)

Also, I've tried both drivers and the machine has dumped Mach2 out
twice. Going back to the original driver. I get the WinXP message
"blahblah MAch2 has done something evil and do you want to send a
report to MS blah blah."

-Lee

Why, oh why, does everybody seem to think "Fanuc" is a standard?

Because there are so many of them. Over half the world market at one point.
And because they are so versatile, they can be married to
so many different types and brands of machines.

Despite the variations, they are very consistent in how they
program and operate. Once you learn one, they are all
easy to understand.

Hi All:

RC12 is online. It is being released a bit early because I didn't like that
MAcro bug being present.

1) DXF has selectable return position in abs or rel.
2) Rgen button is locked out during program run.
3) Errors go away after 5 seconds or so. The Error box was never really a
"current error", just the "last error", but it was confusing, so it now goes
away after 5 seconds or so.
4) THC reset Macro Command. THCReset() has been added to scripts and test
fix at M5 was removed.
5) In Turn , several changes. Macros of type .t1s are now present.
6) In Turn, no more automatic Safe_Z moves at present until they are ready.
7) Unknown Macro's will not hang the sytem. That was Less's problem, the M93
was locking up the script engine.
8) The Script engine tries to be non-reentrant. This means the parsing
errors and script errors should be gone. I can no longer repeat the parseing
errors.
9) Program repeat with auto decrement of the Z_Inhibit are now on the
corrections page. This should be set just prior to pressing Cycle/Run. It
will repeat a program, like a DXF conversion, xx times and each time
subtract the Z-Inhibit lowering varibale from the Z_inhib on each run. This
will allow for multi-pass from the DXF conversions. OR, if the Z-Inhib is
set to a higher value than your stock, it will run the program as a dry run
without actually lowering into the material.

Thanks,
Art

Lee:

Just a side note, the lockup of the G-Code program on that line does not
ocur with the next release. It was related to a bug Steve found in Version
10.0 onwards. It loads and runs just like Mach1 in the current version to be
released tommorrow.

Sorry for that bug...

Thank you to everyone for your thoughtful help on this problem -
there is a small glitch with my LEDs, but everything [that matters]
works great. Today was the first time I operated my system - which
currently consists of one Gecko and one motor - no mechanicals.

Next question, how many times can a grown man watch a stepper motor
operate under computer control - spins in one direction (G0 X20),
speeds up (F160 G1 X50), slows down, stops, reverses direction and
then returns "home" (G0 X0)- all under control of the g-code program
I wrote - aptly named "xfile".

I'm the only one in the household who finds this moderately
entertaining, but I'll let you guys know when I'm bored!

Thanks again for your help getting this up and running.

I see your point in the rapids, and the limits thing was something
Steve,
I found it as you say with acrobat search. This code was cranked out
by a professional cam program and was working fine on mach1. I should
have dissected the line more. I've been using Mach1 and have gotten
familair with its layout and whenever you go to a new program or
upgrade there's issues.

I did notice that jog hotkeys only work in some screens and not
others.

What machine are running and would you recommend this release or the
prior. I'm trying to deliver a plasma cutter, and currently have Mach1
being tested on a BP SeriesII CNC w/ 4J head. It's a beast:-) and if
it goes nuts is pretty dam scary.

What is a "standard Fanuc"? is it a mill, is it lathe, what version?

Why, oh why, does everybody seem to think "Fanuc" is a standard?

With a mill - there is V6, 11, 18 & 21
With a lathe - there is V0, 3, 6, 11, 20

These are just the ones my CAM proggy has post processors for.

Bob:

Oh, I see the problem. With switches you simply press reset and the switch
is overriden until you jog off of it. With softlimits, you should be able to
jog the other way. Is the system somehow locking you out from moveing wither
direction until softlimits are turned off? That would be a bug if so, I will
check it.

Art,

What is the proper procedure to back off limits. I am not using an external
switch.

My main concerned is the use of one of my systems at a local high school.
