Not yet... :-) Back on thread, I got my xml recovered so at least I can run the newest master of LCNC. The backplot is now rotated as it should be, but the span of x is now reported as a - figure. So IMO, the r-90 is missinterpreted yet. What I wanted was = to a 270 clockwise rotation with the -90 command, placeing the former 0.0 point at the lower left corner of the pattern at 0.0 being the lower left corner of the pattern. It is cutting it correctly, but the 0.0 point is now at the upper left corner of the pattern, a foot away from the desired lower right anchor corner. What it appears to have done is thrown away the - in G10 L20 p1 r-90. Playing a bit it seem R90 was the correct argument to get the effect I wanted. I suspect a large part of that is my understanding of how the rotation works since I've never before used it with that large an angle. But I still don't have a 4mm mill supply, so I'm still cutting air without motor power. And no perms to go climbing on the thing to hook up the final vfd controlling cable so I have control over the spindle from LCNC. There is yet some danger that strenuous effort from the left shoulder could displace the tickle wire lead into my heart, they want it to heal around it for a couple weeks before even carrying the coffee in more than cup qty's. But its progress. But now I need to set that as a default to be added to the align kit results. I want to be able to put the workpiece on a spoil board, and probe the former X edge to make a correction in case the spoil board is off a couple degrees. == To those contemplating the purchase of a 3020, or 6040 version of this router, be aware the drivers are only getting 14 volts and change, so the rapids aren't anything to write to mother about. By re-useing the old HF mill driver box, and still software stepping with an atom board rapids of 80 IPM are 100% doable on only 28 volts from motor power. So once I've made a 2nd copy of this newer 5i25/7i76 interface, getting rid of the software stepping. I expect to see rapids in the 200 IPM range. The only real reason to buy their driver box is the vfd in it can run from a std 127 volt wall plug. I will probably extract it, its programming pcb/display and the fan and put it in a smaller, certainly lighter box. That steel box weighs a young ton. I'll marry its huge block of alu used for a heat sink, with a piece of real heat sink when I do that. And since my garage is heated, I have 3 gallons of distilled in the water tank, and debating on useing some added 50-50 for corrosion control but I'd likely be better off with a bypass deionizer as thats saved me thousands in reduced plumbing maintenance in that old 1950's era water cooled GE transmitter at the tv station. Anybody else useing a deionizer instead of anti-freeze for this? Thanks Andy.

I had company come into a transmitter site while I was working on a ch-8 tv transmitter, one of the neighbors half a mile back down the hill in Iron Mountain MI, and when I had turned it on, he headed for the door, and managed to get far enough away it started working again before he was in real trouble. I didn't know until then he had a pacemaker. So now I would no doubt be in that same boat. And I do have one of those induction heater thingies. 1500 watter according to the propaganda.

So sorry to hear, Gene, but glad you got care in time. Now that you have the pacemaker, no playing with induction heaters! Many years ago I worked for an optical instrument company that used induction brazing to fabricate telescope tubes. The 80 year old patriarch of the company with a recently installed pacemaker happened to be standing near just as the heater was turned on and almost instantly fell to the floor. Fortunately, he survived and went on for another 10 years, never missing a day of work. Just take care of yourself, this forum wouldn't be the same without you!

[Emc-users] G10 L2 R-90 isn't working?
Greetings all; Working on my gcode to make it run better on this new machine, as part of the init code, I have a G10 L2 R0.0 to cancel anything left in memory, then 5 or 6 lines later running in map G54, I have a G10 L2 P1 R-90.000 to rotate the whole pattern so the long side is aligned with the tables T slots to aid in my aligning the workpiece on the table. I've also rewrote it so the dsub connectors are located by offsets that are added to all the x/y locations, so the connectors are shown in the backplot at exactly where they were before. But the backplot is not showing the effects of the G10 L2 R-90.0, the pattern is still laid out horizontally on screen. The machine, when I go to it seems to responds to the mdi commands, rotating the red/green arrows as requested. And a move command is in the expected direction, but the arrow keys are still x=horizontal and y=to/from. So I'll figure it out eventually. On another front. I opened up the OEM motor box, finding its supplies for the stepper drivers were only about 14.5 volts, disconnected them all, AND much more importantly to me, the vfd circuit board does indeed have a well marked REV input that wasn't used. AVI which I have to assume stands for Analog Voltage In, com, fwd, and reverse, so I whittled off about 6 feet of cable and connected it. But I see both a 10 volt and a 12 volt called out but not used, so I've not a clue if the AVI is 5 volt or 10 volt. Aha, might have found it, register setting D031 0=digital, 1=AVI, 2=ACI(0-20 ma) 3=485 com port, 4=PWM, and 5=potentiometer(front panel?, doesn't say.) So now I have to find me a terminal block. I have a gs16-4 connector on the back panel of this home brewed driver, but apparently no record of which pin is which. I coulda/shoulda left notes in the hal file. I can scope or meter it, just have to get the scope 7 feet up in the air But I was getting light headed from all that running up and down a short ladder, so figured I'd better come in and check my sugar, which was fine at 135 (great for me) but the blood pressure gizmo says my systolic pressure was about 20 high at 141, but the pulse is only 41. Half or less what I've been for 83 years. Might be time for a different BP pill. This lashup was hard put to run the HF mill at 20 ipm rapids, but with these motors and slightly faster screws, X are happy as clams at 60 ipm, and Z is doing 80 without any complaints. Software stepping mind you. I also levered it back on the table until the back of the Y screw is about to touch the water tank, so the spindle motor can't destroy the next monitor shelf I make. Progress, I think. Dinner time anyway. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
