Hi, actually I'm working on my gremlin counterpart and basically I tested it with the default ngc file from axis - where everything is fine. I create the model from gcode-file and paint the preview with white color. When processing starts, the current segment will be painted in red color. An already processed segment changes color to brown. So far so good.
Then I changed tests to 3D_chips.ngc - which has a bit more segments than axis.ngc ... Creation and painting works fine. When processing starts, I had to see weired output on screen. Lots of segments stayed white although already past and current segments did not change to red ... So I searched for my possible bugs, thought may be there are pixel artefacts, double created lines, what ever ... I could exclude all errorconditions I could imagine and when I step manually through the file, all segements change color as expected. The only possibility that could produce such a weired picture is the fact, that backend does not put all line-number in status area. So I looked closer to the omitted segments. Would be fine, if the segments where small, so that backend would be faster than frontend. But there are omitted segments, where the backend takes more than one second to process. I reduced feed, but that did not change anything. Furthermore it is not predictable, when backend "forgets" to write a line- number. Sometimes every second segment will be omitted, sometimes several segments where processed ok, and sometimes several segments will be omitted. I uploaded two images on a public file hoster. The first one shows a job, where everything is fine: https://www.imagebanana.com/s/1773/wemm8tPc.html and the second shows a path with big gaps. Look at the big straight white lines, that are already processed. I guess, you all know the processing of 3D- chips.ngc ... https://www.imagebanana.com/s/1773/edTFqRlw.html I thought, that status feedback had been improved lately. Any comment is welcome. cheers Reinhard _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
