Spanish / Re: El mach3 me corta pero no respeta las medidas

« on: July 06, 2017, 01:09:34 AM »

Hi Mauro,

In Demo mode, Mach3 will only run the first 500 lines of the Gcode file.

A license is required to run the full Gcode http://www.machsupport.com/shop/mach3/

SmoothStepper USB / Re: Auto Tool height does not set correctly. Help.

It appears that the line >Call SetOemDRO (2,PlateThickness)< is not being seen. Originally this line was >Call SetDRO (2,PlateThickness)< but the Z Axis would be attributed with the updated Retract value (not the X Axis as was intended).

Have you tried:   Call SetDRO (0,PlateThickness)   ?

Hi Chris,

Stranger things have happened but let's hope that resolves the problem.

Hi Shady,

Welcome.

By far the easiest method I have found for PWM laser output power control is described here: http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,12444.msg194200.html#msg194200

It will take forever to go through the whole thread but you may find some things there that are of interest to you.

Tangent Corner / QR Codes.

« on: July 03, 2017, 07:39:22 AM »

This is just a test for me to see how well QR Codes behave.
Rather than use a private server I have taken the liberty of using a post in this section of our forum as others may also be interested in some experimentation.

I usually transport Gcode to the dedicated machine PC with a memory stick and this system works perfectly for me but it does not hurt to look at alternative or different methods.

It is very quick & easy to convert Gcode files into a .jpgQR (or other printable format) and it is then equally just as easy to scan that .jpgQR into the clipboard and then directly into Mach.

There are file size limitations imposed by QR image resolution issues but they need to be explored and that is the reason for this post. Obviously I would welcome others thoughts on this topic.

Check your generated Gcode - Does it contain a G90.1 or a G91.1 at the beginning ?

If it does not then change the IJ Mode in General Config. and then regen. toolpath.

Welcome to the forum.

If you .zip then attach a sample of the Gcode you are having the problem with then it can be tested to try to locate the issue.
