Title: hicon NOT following the gcode losing position
Post by: fozzyber on December 24, 2015, 03:30:30 PM

I am trying to do a large v carve project. I have my flat depth set at  -.0800”     so the z axis should never go below that. (-.0800”)
The program starts to run and as it does the z keeps getting deeper and deeper. this gets worst as the program runs.     I stopped the gcode and the last z command says -.0800 but the DRO is reading -.0982 WTF???
Mach3 ver. R3.043.066   Hicon plug in ver 1.36.7    Firmware 2.42

N295650G1X74.6696Y20.9204

 Look at the gcode below you can see the code showing a depth of  -.0800 but the DRO
Is showing -.0982 WTF??? I have attached the gcode as well

hello fozzyber,

these files are pretty old.  you should upgrade the firmware and plugin to the latest available on the web.  Look for mach3 files in this page

www.vsys.co/integra (http://www.vsys.co/integra)

the new files should fix this issue.

regards
VSI Support
