Re: [Emc-developers] 5 axis cutter compensation

Regarding running from Windows - OpenCN began supporting only Venturecom's Windows realtime system for OpenCNC's version 3.0. They dropped QNX usage at that time. I only used their version running on QNX. I had purchased their API so I could add functionality. I was on Version 2.1. Version 3.0 was

Re: [Emc-developers] 5 axis cutter compensation

Bari, A person working with the controls and software is usually easy to convince of the power of Linux. The guy with the funding sitting behind the Windows computer running the management software probably doesn't realize the management software server is running Linux. The golden rule is as

Re: [Emc-developers] 5 axis cutter compensation

Bari, My focus is to modify an already generated tool path. I have watched (with interest) the StepNC project. It seems to me if the part is designed with StepNC in mind the result from StepNC is more usable. Unfortunately, a lot of parts cannot meet the criteria of StepNC favorable. Since

Re: [Emc-developers] 5 axis cutter compensation

I wouldn't worry about someone thinking that Linux means something 2nd or 3rd rate. Hell I'd run screaming from anything that says Wind0ws and CNC or real time. This is just someone with funding that doesn't know much about operating systems or how to really judge CNC controllers. I work with

Feral, I love it! Just think how LinuxCNC would be accepted if Android was called LinuxAndroid! Or we had LinuxWeb as the main term for the internet. How many people have heard of QNX? Not many. My first retrofit was installing OpenCNC on a 5 axis Cinci. QNX was the underlying realtime system. I

Re: [Emc-developers] 5 axis cutter compensation

I am not arguing for that result just making a comment on observed behavior. If the project had another name and the same amount of exposure he would have explored it. He didn't explore it because if Linux is part of it - it cannot be worthy of even a look. I would hate to see Linux removed from

Call it LegitCNC to really get the point across. If anyone ever questions Linux, tell them to get off the internet and put down their Android phones. That's what gets me about masso. It's touted as this great plug and play system and doesn't even support g41/g42... It's crap if you ask me. Phil

As a follow to Andy's comment, I've been on 5 axis mills for 17 years and honestly have never once used 3d cutter comp. It has a place, but it's a very small place. Only one customer has ever asked about it. Phil T. The Feral Engineer Check out my LinuxCNC tutorials, machine builds and other

Re: [Emc-developers] 5 axis cutter compensation

Bari, The 5 axis tool path for the machine I describe is point to point motion. CAM generates XYZAB and a feedrate (G93) for every line of motion. 5 axis CDC uses the A and B command to create a target vector. In essence I use the AB values to recreate the tool axis vector the CAM system used to
