Title: Have you run into any Infinite Loops with g-code macros?
Post by: BobWarfield on June 30, 2011, 12:49:44 PM

I had a G-Wizard CNC Editor user contact me recently to help diagnose a problem he was having with some g-code his BobCAD CAM package had output.  He was having a hard time understanding what Mach3 was telling him:

Many of you will know what that means immediately, but many will not.  I wrote it up in an article that describes diagnosing the problem as well as some new features it prompted me to add to the G-Wizard Simulator.

The article is here:  http://www.cnccookbook.com/index.htm

Cheers,

Sure it just means you loaded a sub instead of a program. (;-) TP
