Re: [Machinekit] Tool Table usage and gcode debugging

[schoone...@gmail.com]

Not much time to look at this right now. Touchy is untouched (no pun intended) by us from linuxcnc, if it worked there it will work here. To debug gcode, make sure the DEBUG= line in the ini file is set to a high number. 0x07 should do, but experiment. No idea what output touchy produces, if you get meaningful output with Axis, use that until you find the error. The line looks OK, but lacks the usual terminating ';'.

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.
