  1. Sticky: Re: GrblGru: Free CAM and 3D-Simulation for mills and lathes

    Very nice! Thank you!
  2. Sticky: Re: GrblGru: Free CAM and 3D-Simulation for mills and lathes

    @vicstransam
    I finally managed to check the diogonal keys to see if they leave the range of travel.
    See new beta version V3.26.12 at https://goo.gl/7BGkkO[/QUOTE]

    It works!

  3. Sticky: Re: GrblGru: Free CAM and 3D-Simulation for mills and lathes

    You are welcome. I eagerly await the next version. Thanks again.
  4. Sticky: Re: GrblGru: Free CAM and 3D-Simulation for mills and lathes

    Thank you for the reply. I tried again testing the limits of travel and it worked as normal except if you use the corner buttons to move both axes, it will still over travel on x and y even if the...
  5. Sticky: Re: GrblGru: Free CAM and 3D-Simulation for mills and lathes

    I have been playing with the program a little bit and added a macro to the list as "Home" but the simulator model "Shapeoko 2" doesn't execute the code G28 or G91 G28 Z0 or G91 G28 X0 Y0 Z0. I am...
  6. Sticky: Re: GrblGru: Free CAM and 3D-Simulation for mills and lathes

    Thank you very much. I will try it out.

    I think the only issue is that the program only uses two decimal places for metric. I'll have to look at the program again to be sure.

    Re: More free macros

    Here is a macro for engine turning/jeweling on a flat plate.I made it so almost everything is adjustable. I have simulated it and the concept works but may need editing for your machine.

    Re: More free macros

    Yes I am aware of that. The program you are talking about with the G28 is for a HAAS VF1. You can always edit to make FANUC friendly. That program was for example of using MOD.

    Re: More free macros

    Regarding sinha_nsit:
    I still forgot to add outer brackets or delete inner brackets on the IF/AND lines. Have you edited to work on NC GUIDE?
    Thanks for the heads up.

    Wow, amazing work. I am playing around with this trying to learn your method. I have one question. I can't seem to find where to set units to Inch like the manual says. There is no "ID/NC" button in...

    I believe the Fusion 640T that we have uses a Windows 95 realtime kernel. I remember seeing that on the boot screen so I do believe it is different from retail Win95.

    I certainly don't recommend changing anything, but it could be useful to some to help diagnose a problem by just flipping through the wealth of info. If you don't need it, don't do it.
