General Mach Discussion / Re: Cannot use tw0 gcodes that both use axis line 30

« on: October 31, 2017, 02:43:41 AM »

Hi Pudly123,

In the line N1 add  G20 (and save the change).

The Gcode will then run in inch units.

It should be noted that the G20 / G21 commands (which switch between Imperial and Metric units) are modal - they will stay in effect until such time as they are changed.

Ooops !

I have now reduced the Z plunge depth and feed-rate of the Scorpion file - hope that works better for you.

Hi Pudly123,

Your Gcode is not correct (as far as Mach3 is concerned).
 
Basically the G28 has it’s own feed-rate and you cannot have a G00 on the same line.

Delete the G00 from lines N154 and N156 and insert a new line N153 G00

Hi Pudly123,

The G20 should do it.

However, try some of the files in the zip folder here (I have tried them all and know they are OK) http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,18345.0.html

Excellent.

Some are here for the journey and some for the destination but it is certainly a hobby where we just don't stop learning.

Hi John,

Make sure you have properly extracted the zip file that was sent to you. Copy the file  Mach1Lic.dat  into your Mach3 folder.

Sounds like power saving features on your PC.

Check that nothing on your PC goes to sleep or into low power mode etc.
