[Emc-users] Lazarus cross platform tools for LinuxCNC

2019-09-22 Thread John Dammeyer
Just a quick note about the hole boring program I ported from C command line to Lazarus Pascal GUI. I've compiled it on LinuxCNC after the classic: sudo apt-get install lazarus Once that was installed I loaded the project I'd written under Lazarus under WIN-7 and it failed compiling with a

[Emc-users] G-Code issue with IJ

2019-09-22 Thread John Dammeyer
This is the G-Code generated by Jon's Makebore program that uses I J for the curves instead of R. Works like a charm when loaded and run with MACH3. The attached screen shot shows that LinuxCNC chokes on this. Suggestions as to why? N10 G01 F10.000 X1. Y2. N20 F1.667 Z-0.0500 N30

Hi Jon, Well it's back to being Pascal. I combined the R and IJ versions into one. The code matches what you posted on your website. Just need to do some cleanup and then I'll try building it with Lazarus on one of the Linux systems. At the moment the mill is running WIN-XP and MACH3 and it
