Re: [Emc-users] Gcode Newbie Question - repetitive part making
Hey Ed, Once upon a time, I wrote some gcode subroutines that, given the ends of two lines and a radius, makes it into a line, an arc of that radius, and a line. If you want to see it, I might be able to locate it. Regards, Ken Ed Nisley wrote: if Ed will be continuing similar articles in the future That's the plan! The Winter 08 column deals with fillets on internal corners: using cutter comp and figuring the arc centers for mostly right-angle corners. Pretty easy once you see it. Next up: finding the centers when the sides aren't at right angles. Time to haul some trig functions out of the closet, blow the dust off, and fire those devils up.

It should reduce the number of passed variables for each of the subroutines. Yes, you could. For this purpose I'd use the G54 fixture offset (settable with the axis touch off button or MDI G10 L2 P1 ...) to set the corner of the usable area as X0 Y0, and then set a G92 coordinate system offset before making each part. (I'm sure there are other ways you could do this, for instance by using the G54 fixture offset for the global system and the G55 fixture offset for the this part system) I modified the original program to do this. Now the O100 sub can assume that X0Y0 is the lower left corner of this part, and is simplified accordingly. You could further simplify by coding the depth, retract, and feeds directly in the O100 sub instead of passing them through all the levels of subroutine.

it won't be real quick, but you could order that as a back issue. Jon Jon, Is it fair to say that the investment in this publication is worthwhile? If so, I am not opposed to giving it a try after the 1st of the year. Jeff, Enjoying a brief warm spell here in PA so the opportunity was taken to review the code you provided. On first read, I had a great deal of difficulty understanding the flow especially since I am so new to Gcode and in general can read code but less able to generate it. Once loaded up in EMC, selecting the various paths and seeing what highlighted, a light began to shine. After further reading of the code, I think I finally understand the general workflow in Gcode with O words. If I wanted to do multiples of a more complex part, could I simply do a coordinate shift in the O100 subroutine, execute lines of code, return to the global coordinate system and end that subroutine? It should reduce the number of passed variables for each of the subroutines. I really like this one you worte since it is easily scaleable to whatever dimensions and count of parts. I could have used it last weekend - My son's preschool teacher wanted a bunch of basic shapes cut out (circles, triangles and squares) so that the kids could sand and paint them. Thanks again. Feels like I have 1 candle power of understanding in a very dark room, but lots of wax and wicks are laying about. Brian -- SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Re: [Emc-users] Gcode Newbie Question - repetitive part making
You can grab a 'cheap' KVM from ebay, and a dumpster box to have a 'test system' on your desk. It may not be graceful, but if you can have the box in the workshop running, you can use VNC on your desktop inside to view what is going on there. I wouldn't really CUT anything with it that way, but for remote use, it works. Personally I like to have a hardwired link, but in my place currently I am using WIFI. For a box that you don't want to deal with wifi on but have an ethernet port, I suggest getting one or two 'wifi external game adapters'. I just purchased another (I have one belkin, one USRobotics, and a 'new to me' linksys' in my house/shop) - the linksys - from http://3btech.net/li80wigaadbr.html for $40 The KVM brand I like is a 4 port zonet ... right now they have one I really like http://3btech.net/fopomidekvmk.html for about $25 including cables. It has a place for a power supply, but it is not needed. I think it is refurbed too. For about $65 plus shipping if you already have wifi at home you would be in good shape. If no wifi currently you might want 2 of the game adapters. Still it probably isn't as cheap as running an ethernet cable. I hope some of this helps in getting your infrastructure going so you can have fun even if the shop is cold. BRIAN GLACKIN wrote: Seb, THanks for the link.
