Title: incremental I and J not working
Post by: altayatilla on November 05, 2012, 06:12:01 AM

my controller demands incremental I and J values and when I set to incremental I and J posted values dont make sense

Are you using Mach3 to control motion of the machine?

Are you using LazyCam to generate the code?
Do you have a licensed version of LazyCam?
Are you posting code directly to a file? or to Mach?

I know nothing about your controller and it's configuration. LC will post code based on Mach configuration unless you are using a modified pst file
( BTW see my recent reply to your post about pst's....don't know what will actualy happen....never hacked away at pst's....and don't plan on doing so)

BTW,
I know nothing about using the Plasma Module .......ie; never hacked away at it to see what if any bugs exist in it. Thus it is not covered in the manual.

For now,

RICH

Within Mach3 it does NOT matter if you use INC or ABS IJs as LONG as both programs ( Cam and Controller) are set to the same mode.

The default POST in Lcam should be set to INC and seems to output INC IJs.

IT is YOUR job to make sure they do not get them mixed up in your Gcode.
