That sounds like the answer.
I have a controller with a valid license, but I'm running in simulation mode on a different computer at home.
I'll try again on the CNC connected computer.

Here you go.
Under the Parameters tab, I changed the tool material from Carbide to HSS and it became 'greyed out' after that.

Thanks for that.
Something else I have noticed is that if you make changes under the Speed & Feed tab, then eventually, the edit fields 'grey out' and become uneditable. Only a restart of TNG...
This problem happens when in Edit Tool Table.

I set the axis coordinates in Toolchange Position under the Tool Change tab,and click Update followed by OK.
When I return to...
Ecam might do as you need see here.
Yes.

Could you consider adding 'peck turning' to TNG2 please?
It's good for preventing long & stringy swarf being created by certain materials such as copper or aluminium.
Thanks, Martin.
Go to Settings, under User Interface, select 3D. Scroll down until under the Properties heading you find the Show Offset tick-box. Put a tick in it and the display should be as you want.
It might need some compressed air around it to shift any remaining moisture.
Now fixed in latest update. Files open in the editor instantly!
Thanks very much.
Ok, thanks for replying, I can see than now.
Could it be speeded in the future?
Martin.
I'm learning to use Deskproto, which compared to my other CAM software creates many short G01 moves and so files are much bigger.
The attached file causes TNG2 to freeze if I load it and then try to...
Full steps and half steps are quite 'rigid', but when you try to go much finer between steps things get a bit 'springy' - they don't lock as tightly as full steps.
You could use finer pitch screws...
Just try something like G64 P1 and see how it performs.
Check the Gcode manual the comes with TNG for more info.
I think you'll be getting a kind of 'staircase' pattern because despite having your motors set to micro-step @ 4000 over 5mm, in practice you will probably find they can not dynamically hold these...
Yes, I read your reply on that thread, so I know that, but if G64 isn't activating because you haven't entered a P value, then it appears that it's not working at all.
Yes, but see here.
Actually, there might be a bug in the G61/G64 code because G64 seems to be ignored if you swap between these two gcodes.
However, G64 does work straight after restarting TNG, but not after going to...
Try including a G64 command at the top of the program. If your machine defaults to G61, then you will get stuttering - check out the difference in the included gcode reference.
I tried this out today and it worked really well, tracing the curve exactly.
The thread is nice and accurate too on parallel parts, but the one unforseen is that the pitch diminishes as the slope...
Oh man, that is great!, I'll give it a blast!
Thanks very much for the implementation and the reply.
I'm looking into cutting a fusee on my lathe, but none of the available gcodes seem appropriate to do this.
A fusee is just a thread that is cut along a curvy profile, unfortunately, synchronised...
I don't think TNG works with anything other than 3 series boards.
I can recreate this on my Windows 10 setup.
Do this: 1/ Hide IO and save setting - Active G-Codes are displayed correctly.
2/ Close PlanetCNC.
3/ Open PlanetCNC and...
Just going by what I've seen with other computers.
Video driver problem?
You could try updating your driver.
I've applied this to both my CAD/CAM computer and my PlanetCNC control computer as in the picture below, but it doesn't seem to have changed anything as files still don't load into PlanetCNC.
Have I...
Managed to make some progress with my lathe but I need to experiment more with how to get the saddle & cross slide to stay together as a unit as they move (see second & third pic), as the workpiece...
I've just tried the sample machine (router) simulation and although I have a lathe, it still delivers a great representation of the movement and relative position of cutter/machine/workpiece. Very...
