Just to add my 5 cents, I have problems using NativeCAM with plasma, because NativeCAM uses tool compensation, then
I can't use the digital output to enable THC. I don't see any reason why the digital I/O should be disabled if tool compensation is on Thanks Pedro Grijalva M. ________________________________ From: andy pugh <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, October 2, 2018 4:16 AM To: EMC developers Subject: [Emc-developers] Things you can't do with radius compensation on. https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/b948dba1af9e63f26498cf005d6693cec30458a9/src/emc/rs274ngc/interp_convert.cc#L3302 [https://avatars0.githubusercontent.com/u/5650508?s=400&v=4]<https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/b948dba1af9e63f26498cf005d6693cec30458a9/src/emc/rs274ngc/interp_convert.cc#L3302> LinuxCNC/linuxcnc<https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/b948dba1af9e63f26498cf005d6693cec30458a9/src/emc/rs274ngc/interp_convert.cc#L3302> github.com LinuxCNC controls CNC machines. It can drive milling machines, lathes, 3d printers, laser cutters, plasma cutters, robot arms, hexapods, and more. - LinuxCNC/linuxcnc There seem to be a lot of things that are not allowed with cutter comp enabled, and it isn't immediately obvious why. The following G-codes are banned G61 - Seems reasonable G54, G55...G59.3 - OK M62 ... M68 Analog-digital IO -- This seems odd M48 - M53 - Spindle and feed overrides -- This also seems unreasonable G98 - G99 -- Cycle retract mode -- Again this seems an odd thing to disallow G76 lathe threading -- It seems like you might very much want to use cutter comp here? M6 tool change -- Why wouldn't cutter-comp just carry through with the new radius? G43 - G49 -- Might be reasnable, but doesn't seem necessary. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
