Hi, I have a specific question to using the tool table and tools in general and a general question on debugging gcode.
My situation: Running Machinekit on BBB using Touchy as UI. Machine is a lathe. Generally works like a charm. Now I need to set tools and tool radius to get a proper radius cut on a workpiece. The issue is that this code is not working: My tool table file: T1 P1 X0 Z0 D0.2 I90 J30 Q2 Whenever I insert either M6 T1 G43 or T1 G43 or T1 My gcode stops working (it works without tool selection and cutter compensation) I also tried to use G10 L1 P1 R0.02 Q2 before the line with T1. Same result + this erases the tool table file. My specific question what is wrong with this approach? My general question is related to error messages (and touchy). I'm using Linuxcnc / Axis on a Mill on a PC and know that is prints helpful error messages that help debugging these kind of gcode related problems. In my case on the lathe I just don't get any information. No error, message, nothing. The machine just does not start. Is there a way to debug this? Which interface(es) is/are used to convey error messages? Can / will this be written in a log file? I'm happy to debug touchy here / add functionality but I don't really know where to start. Any help would be appreciated Many thanks, Malte -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
