Greetings all; The sim on this machine is still broken, home switches are left activated so it can't be rehomed. And everytime I try to update it, all my hacks to duplicate the other machines I have disappear.
Is there not some way to update master sim without nukeing the config files where I did have the operating envelope defined? I'd also hacked up a timer to simulate a probe hit in one of the hal files, and a couple other things in the hal dept. Loseing all that, which I don't lose on the real machine when upgradeing their master, tends to make the sim pretty worthless. Right now its the envelope limits that are way too small, zup limit is only .1" for instance, when both of the real machines can move both sides of z=0 by several inches due to the jackup needed for r8 changeing when a big drill chuck is in the r8. And the x+ limit won't allow this code to run. Period, no run anyway works. What it also did, pointed to a extra move that wasn't needed, the sim complained about not enough room for a leadin G42 move, while the real thing was happy as a lark. Turned out to need a short move back to 0,0 before I started cutting holes. Either move was several tool radius's Its 50F out, so I think I'll go feed the missus and take my one lonesome 4mm tool out and try it. Merry Christmas everybody.
