    Re: M63 Not working

    So I have everything set up on the machine and the macros seem to work correctly so they must do a M53 then a M63 to toggle the probe and OMI on. Then another M53 followed by a M63 to toggle the...

    Re: M63 Not working

    So some updates after testing some more. M53 turns on output P23 like it should, M63 does turn off output P23 like it should. So that is working as I expected. It may be that the OMI takes a pulse to...

    M63 Not working

    I have a 2006 TM-2 mill. I just purchased it used. It originally was purchased with the probing option. I have also purchased an OMI, OMP60M and the TS27R with the appropriate adapter cable to...
  4. Re: need some help getting my machine to home properly

    What break out board are you using? Is the machine going into Estop when this happens? Can you post your entire config HAL and INI files in a zip file?

    Again this sounds like an electrical noise...
  5. Re: need some help getting my machine to home properly

    See the following page. Scroll down to the bottom of the page for all of the man pages for the various hal components. debounce is there.

  6. Re: need some help getting my machine to home properly

    This behavior is typical of a noisy switch activation. As the switch changes state it does so multiple times really fast (bouncing) you can add the debounce Hal component to your configuration....

    Re: unexpected plunge

    Sounds as if you have a Z tool length offset set in the tool table and it is being used in the G-Code. If you are using just a single tool per G-Code file you can set your tool length offsets to 0 in...

    The line you ask about is a comment as it is wrapped in parentheses. Any line or part of a line that is wrapped in parentheses is treated as a comment by the LinuxCNC g-code interpreter. The post...

    Re: Z axis issue with Fusion360 WCS

    It appears that in your G-Code your Z axis values are negative. This means that the top of the workpiece should probably be Z=0.0 as you have attempted to set. You need to make sure the origin point...
  11. Re: Just starting out, and had a few questions

    I would suggest using the stepconf wizard to set up your machine based on how you wired the BOB to the machine. This is the easiest way to get a stepper system going on LinuxCNC.

    Re: Siber Hegner RB-1 CNC ???????

    Metzenw,

    I did purchase the mill. I knew when I bought it that I could not transfer programs on to the Fanuc controller. I thought that I could fix that issue and retain the Fanuc controls without...
  13. Re: Is that worth changing to LinuxCNC from an old RS-232 machine

    I don't know of a method of probing via DNC. There are some pretty good probing setups now for LinuxCNC.

    If you don't want the down time later down the road then it will be better to retrofit...
  14. Re: Is that worth changing to LinuxCNC from an old RS-232 machine

    I am currently in the middle of a retrofit. I am sure I will be happy with the end result. However it is a lot of work to do the retrofit. Especially if you replace the existing servo drives.

    My...

    Re: Toolpath oddities

    As good practice you should put one of the path codes G61 or G64 in the preamble of your G code. And change between them in the code when required.

    I simulated the G code in your gist file in cut...

    Re: Toolpath oddities

    Also If you are doing 2D paths you should be able to have Fusion 360 generate arc commands (G02,G03) instead of short line segments (G01). Look at your post processor options. If you are doing 3D...

    Re: Toolpath oddities

    Conan,

    The first issues of slow jerky movement leads me to believe that your program is using exact stop mode, G61. In this mode LinuxCNC will go to the exact endpoints of each line of code and...
