General Mach Discussion / Does Artsoft have a Post Processor that does not use InverseTime?
« on: September 01, 2022, 06:33:28 PM »
I'm trying to generate numbers around a handwheel dial. Got Fusion to do the design and it simulates fine and even tells me how long it will take to machine. But when I try to generate the G code, the standard Artsoft "Mach3Mill" post processor generates code with inverse time functions for A axis movement. My Gecko 320X driver does not accept this and faults out, even if I slow the speed to 25%. Does Artsoft provide a different post processor that will use G93 instead of G94?
I saw where it was possible to edit the Post Processor to change "var useInverseTimeFeed = true" to "var useInverseTimeFeed = false" but this did not work for me. The next attempt to post failed with the odd message "This post configuration has not been customized for 5-axis simultaneous tool path". I see no reason why that change would introduce an extra axis.
Any help would be appreciated.
