[Emc-users] Debug gcode program

2009-07-03 Thread Frank Tkalcevic
I have a gcode program. I loaded it into axis. It loads, but the backplot doesn't look right. How can I debug it? Is there a way to get the gcode output from it? Can I run it through the simulator? Is the simulator easy to set up?

Just to clarify this, it's a gcode program that uses functions, loops and conditionals. What's the best way to debug this? -Original Message- From: Frank Tkalcevic [mailto:fr...@franksworkshop.com.au] Sent: Friday, 3 July 2009 7:45 PM To: 'Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)'

I usually find that adding some debug statements can solve my problem. (debug, variable1=#1 namedvar=#this_var) The above will display values of variables. (print, variable1=#1 namedvar=#this_var) Will write the output to stdout. (or perhaps stderr -- I forget). See the manual. Ken Frank
