code wanders off, but only sometimes...
« on: March 26, 2008, 10:31:14 PM »
Sorry, posted wrong code at first - this one should be the right one.

I'm totally stumped and tired of breaking tooling. Anybody willing to take a look?
> Odd thing is, sometimes it works, some times it doesn't.
> Other similar parts work just fine.
> Tried to recode this one, and still a problem.
> Mach shows the correct path, but wanders off it - this is both in the software and hardware.
> I have no spindle control, mist control or on off relays. Its just xyz control.
> In both images, the green line is where it wanders off - not always the same places. It does this on two different PC's, wether I'm just running the software simulation or actually cutting parts.

Hello Spinnetti,
The code you posted runs a very different part but runs it well in simulation here.

Rats! I posted the wrong code.. thanks for posting that. The other one (I'll put the right code in) runs fine sometimes too, but as you can see from the screen shots, randomly wanders off some of the time.

Nobody? This is a pretty serious defect, and I'm at a stand still.

** Edit ** Ok, I'm really getting frustrated. What's a paying customer gotta do to get a bug looked at?

I don’t pretend to have the right answers to all the coding problems I encounter. For some of those problems, I am using code that I know to be crappy but its a level of crappy that I understand and therefore don’t mind using. But it would feel odd for me to hand off code that is held together with band-aids.

I don't pretend to understand what you are talking about, but if you are implying I'm "handing off code held together with band-aids", perhaps you can be more specific? More importantly, this thread is nearly 3 years old! Nobody ever could explain it, but I worked around it.

Spinnetti,

I simulated the code in Mach that you posted and did not see any problems with it at all. It did not "wander off" in Mach.
Attached pic of a backplot of the code and  Mach screen.
Now if you are "wondering off" when actualy cutting the piece that is a very different problem.
It can be computer, machine, or controller related, but will guess  if using  steppers they are  skipping causing you to loose position.
Can't explain much more without more info on what is happening. ;)

So what was your work around?
