Yes, you need to have servo amps that take step and direction .. if you have that you are all set

LazyCam (Beta) / Lcam 2.0...

« on: May 04, 2007, 03:56:49 PM »

Hello,
Lcam Rev 2.0 is out and there is a video on line telling you a bit about how it works... you can't do Foam with this version (So if you need that please Do NOT Install Rev 2 at this time) . Please try this version and tell us what you think and I also think that you will find many things that you have asked for in this version

One known bug is that you can't do turn in Dia mode ... I have to do a bit more work in that section But Mill and plasma should be working...


Thanks
Brian

We found the problem
He was only using 2 axis and you can't have an enable for an axis that is not setup...

Hope that helps

This is what I told you...

pseudo code :
If NOT homed
 DON'T run the code!!!!!
message "must be homed before running the program"
else
do cycle start


So as you can see it is going to do what you are looking for

If you still think you need all the macro pump stuff Please look at the code in the wizards and there screen sets. this will show you how everything works
Thanks

Please open up the wizards and check out the code in them. This will help you with how make the code work.

The best way to make the user have to home is to ad a bit of code to the cycle start button... I don't think you need to have anything in the Macropump

Thanks

General Mach Discussion / Re: "SmartPath" or Waterjet Speed ramping based on geometry question??

« on: May 02, 2007, 11:27:43 PM »

We do that in the LazyCam for Plasma in circles ... and we could add it for small Arcs.

You could add that to the Galil plugin if you like...
