General Mach Discussion / How to set the "Rotation Radius" from NC file?

« on: February 08, 2015, 12:25:28 PM »

Is there a way to set the "Rotation Radius" used for the 4th axis (in the "Settings" tab) from a NC file?  I wrote some Python scripts to do pipe coping and it would be real nice to automatically configure this from gcode files.  I do not see this in the parameters list.

Thanks, TurboStew

Mach SDK plugin questions and answers. / Trying to get gcode movement and motor tuning in BlankMovement

« on: August 24, 2008, 12:12:31 PM »

Hello,

I am trying to program a simple 2 line movement in Gcode, and watch the trajectory ring buffer.  It fills with 65 elements, but they are all 0.00 for the positions, The other problem is the motor tuning screen is wierd when running under the Blankdevice plugin.  It seems like there are some speed and accel limits on the tuning params that are set to 0.  I have searched but can't seem to find these.  I am an embedded engineer specializing in BLDC vector controls with DSPs and FPGAs, but this windows stuff is getting my goat! I think I will be off and running if I could see logical trajectory ring buffer values as well as understand the motor tuning hooks.

Thanks,
Kent
