General Mach Discussion / Re: Jumbled up letter

I'm brand new to this stuff and don't know too much! Any help is greatly appreciated.

Help is available but I would strongly recommend that you have read of the manuals and other info for how to do something.
Alll of this is not just plug and play  and one just needs to go through the learning curve.

LazyCam (Beta) / Re: Experienced Lazycammer Wanted!

Lazycam will still be restrictive even if you purchase Mach. See page 4 of 123 in the manual which can be found in
Member's Docs which provides more information. There is no documention on Plasma in the manual and your on your owne.

Also post the xml you are using for this machine.

RAYSURFER,
Tried your dx in both LC mill and Plasma. No problem in mill. Trying LC Plasma I only got two letters also the first time I tried posting the code. BUT...... Went out of LC, reloaded LC , and posted again and the complete code was posted.

Do you have a licensed copy of MACH and do you have the Pro license of LC ?

There is a line limit in LC if you don't have a licensed for MACH and LC also restricts the different LC Modes if it is not the
Pro Version.

The manual dosen't cover plasma. The reason is simple. I don't have or use a plasma machine and in that light would not know what quirks to look for in the program. Anybody out there is free to write a section on LazyCam Plasma and post it. There is no documentation for LazyCam other than the numerous hours I spent hacking it to death for the lathe and mill.  So the only support I tend to offer is for the mill part of LazyCam ( consider the Lathe module dead as it is now replaced by LazyTurn).

General Mach Discussion / Re: Acceleration set the same for all axes?

« on: May 03, 2012, 05:53:27 PM »

The slowest axis will prevail. For example, if it was a small equal move how can you expect the weaker axis to accelerate to match the requested feedrate. So back to my original reply. Unless, you want to have the axis do work that it may or may not be able to do realiably.

General Mach Discussion / Re: Question on behavior of rotary axis and rollover

« on: May 03, 2012, 05:43:44 PM »

Rot 360 rollover – if checked the A axis DRO will display from 0 to 360 degrees and then start over at 0. If not checked the A axis DRO will be additive such that 2 revolutions will display as 720 degrees.

Ang Short Rot on G0 – The axis will move in the shortest possible move to a new position. So if at 0 degrees and you jogged  to 359 deg then it would just rotate  -1 degree.

Rotational Soft Limits – if checked will apply software limit switches to the rotary axis.


Hope the above helps,

You don't say what you want to do with the letters.
You will find a users manual for Lazycam in Members Docs and strongly suggest you have a read and not hack at the program.
