Hello everyone,
First post here but I have been looking at many threads for years.
Quick background. I built a small CNC machine a few years back (600mm X 600mm, gecko G540, mach 3) and learnt the rope on it.
Decided to go bigger and purchased an ACCTEK CNC (2400 X 1200mm, USB motion card controller, mach 3)
Finally finished installing it and decided to try it.
As usual I ran autoleveller first but I couldn't get it to work.same with Gcode ripper.
Went thru this forum (including this excellent thread https://www.cnczone.com/forums/xzero-cnc/192666-cnc-3.html) as well as autoleveller forum trying to find a solution but to no avail.
I tried to run the macro suggested by gskular as well as adding G4 P1 commands before the G31 command but my X and Y coordinates in the files are always all over the shop and unusable.
My questions are as follow :
-since the macro suggested by gskular seems to work for Z coordinates, can the same macro (with a different variable)be used for X and Y?
-if I cannot get it to work, what are the differents option available to replace the USB motion card?
I thought of installing the G540 controller from my small CNC but the G540 can only handle 3.5amps and the motors of the new CNC are 5amps each.
I hope this makes sense.
looking forward to everyone's input
Regards
