Thank to everyone who answered my question about this yesterday. Once I
set the tool diameters to zero in EMC, the gcode from Synergy ran
correctly without any modification (though I did need to scale the feed
rate down to 20%; that's a different story).
So far I am really impressed with Synergy
I'm pretty sure I've seen this asked before, but I couldn't find it in
the archives for this mail list.
I'm running EMC2. I get this error on lines with G2 or G3 in them. (The
code is output from Synergy). If I get this error, is there still a
setting (like INCH_TOLERANCE) that will relax the
Hi Ben,
Remember, Synergy does things differently. It writes code that is
offset by cutter radius and also uses G41/G42.
This means the tool table diameters need to be zero. Small deviations
are then entered into the tool table to
compensate for sharpening or small adjustments in
So far, I have used Synergy to draw the part, then draw the tool paths
and use the path way points to write G-code. That method may not be
usable for complex parts, but I suppose it lets you use tool
compensation. I have only written a few programs, so writing programs by
hand is probably good,
Hi Kirk,
I have two EMC posts on my machine. The standard one labeled EMC and
one that uses R rather than I,J
for circular interp.

Gentlemen,
Does Synergy's post allow you to specify the end point of the arc
to be exactly on the circle? The distance between the starting point
and the center of the radius AND the distance between the ending point
and the center of the radius must match.
I don't know the numeric
Hi Stuart,
I have to play dumb here. I just let Synergy do it's thing. I didn't
find anything in the post.
If you draw it correctly it seems synergy will do it.
I think emc is double precision internally. Plenty of resolution. :-)
Someone will correct me if this is incorrect. ;-)
