Hi, thanks for the tip.
I gave it a go. Just gives a couple of problems in the code:
The code references the rotation axis as 'B', whereas, as far as i understand mach 3 is looking for the label 'A'. I guess this one is not too hard to fix.
The bigger problem though is that the pp is outputting the path as series of very short steps. For instance, if you write a short program where the rotation axis just goes through 360deg, it outputs this as a series of commands telling it to move ~0.5deg in each step... as opposed to one command telling it do go through 360deg. Is this normal? It doesn't seem very efficient. Would this make the machine run less smoothly?
Do you think this pp will work with the more complex commands? Such as tapping and thread milling?
Barrage of questions... new to all of this!
Thanks,
will
