Hi, Rich, Art

I'm having the same Issues, It's gotten So bad that None of the files I've used before  seem to work.

Well I think It's something in the LaxyTurn .XML is getting Corrupted, So I re-named the XML, That way it has to start up Fresh and now It works Again For Now.

Even the BobCad v23 file I wanted you to look at.

Edit: Found Problem XML, Below

Will See, Chip

Hi, Hank

Re-worked you dxf a little, It will post in LazyCam Turn, But not in LazyTurn for me.

Probably a file Art should Look at, It tries to Post in Diag. Mode though.

Hi, Rich, This DXF was worked over with BobCad ver 23, The DXF file size is larger, It may be that 3'D issue, Would you look it over.

Hears some Pic's and the DXF.

Hi Hank

Hears a Blank File, Make several copies of it, Then when you post use one of them, LazyTurn won't creat a file as it did in eariler versions.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Hi, Art

Did a little more testing. If I offset the Horizontal line by 0.0001 in "Y", Then "No OpenGL" Error.

So if you can do the, " Ill add code to remove any c/l object found. That should clear that up".

If you can adjust your "algorithm and see if I can force it to zero.", Or maybe the Rough Per Pass Depth Value. ?

The only Issue I see is the last (Most left Vertical line should be Ignored till the final pass is done), Cutoff. ?

Just info, Thinking out Loud, Chip

Hi, Art

Thanks, It's sometimes hard to give an explanation that's clear with these finger's.

Just want to say, Things are working very well.

If you can get " Ill add code to remove any c/l object found", this should fix most of the other OpenGL issues, I'm thinking.

Cutting a Ball End and or a Part Cutoff should be a vertical line or Cir/Arc move.

I had noticed if a Horizontal line was off the Z Zero point it didn't cause the OpenGL error.

As I've asked before, Have you thought of a way to do Inside Cut's.

At this time using LazyTurn and LazyCam Turn to do Rough and Finish Post's is pretty Easy.

Thanks for all you do Art.

Chip

Hi, Art

I had the Z-Offset set to .1, Set it to .25, Only change was more Z setback, Rough still falls Short of 0.0 C/L.

Edit: "In the cut, use the main options menu, you can set a Z-Offset from the piece there.", Do we need a X Rough Offset from 0,0 C/LValue Also. ?

Thanks, Chip

Hi, Art, All

Hears the dxf's and a Post of the top picture hear, Rough and Finish.

 Edit: Thanks, Art i'll give it a try, But will this fix the Rough not starting at 0,0 C/L ?.

Thanks, Chip

Hi, Art

It appears that having a horizontal line on C/L 0,0 start causes a Open GL Error's, But it allows the Rough Cut to start at 0,0 C/L.

If it's has a vertical line or has no line at the 0,0 start the Rough Cut starts Short of the  0,0 C/L.

Any Thoughts, Chip

Hi, Hood

That should fix it for him, That's the second time I've forgotten about the I,J's setting in general configuration menu.

The Little crop cir's with (Turn Options) Reverse Arc's in Front Post and the Big crop cir's in General Configuration menu.

Thanks, Chip

General Mach Discussion / Re: Maxnc CL with Mach3

Hi, All

Hears a post by Art on MAXNC - CL pin out's

Re: [mach1mach2cnc] MAXNC 15-CL total frustration

Cary:

Sorry, your right. Thereis one on the OL, but not the CL.

I can tell you that if you check the MaxCL mode checkbox, you dont have to
worry about the motor pin settings from there.
The pinouts arent secret to my knowledge, theyve been published here before.

Since the motor pin settings are automatic, theres only a couple others to
worry about.. You need to turn on an output signal, ENABLE1 and set it to pin

16
and "low active", this controls the enable for the cl's hardware. You then

need
to turn on a ENABLE2 signal, and set it to pin 17, "Hi Active".

If thats all setup, then the unit shoudl work. Here's the CL pinout, but you
do not have to setup any motor outputs, as I said, they are automatic and you
can ignore the motor pin setup box altogether, other than making sure x,y,z

axis
are checked as enabled.

Ignore also Pin10, which can be used to make mach3 drive it in closed loop, it
isnt necessary on a properly setp system, so I usually dont mention that pin.

PIN ASSIGNMENTS FOR THE
MAXNC CL2 SOFTWARE

PRINTER PORT PIN ASSIGNMENT

1............... M3 OUTPUT (LOW=ON, PULSE FOR PWM)
2............... A AXIS (quadrature)
3............... A AXIS (quadrature)
4............... Y AXIS (quadrature)
5............... Y AXIS (quadrature)
6................X AXIS (quadrature)
7............... X AXIS (quadrature)
8............... Z AXIS (quadrature)
9............... Z AXIS (quadrature)
10.............. INPUT, MOVE ENABLE (LOW=NORMAL OPERATION, HIGH=STOP, SEE

NOTE)
11.............. INACTIVE FOR MILLS, NEG. LIMIT FOR MAXPATH(NORMAL LOW)
12.............. INPUT, HOME AND LIMIT SWITCH (NORMAL OPERATION LOW)
13.............. INPUT, G61 SWITCH SENSOR
14.............. M8 OUTPUT (LOW=ON)
15.............. NONE
16.............. OUTPUT, DISABLE POWER TO MOTORS (LOW=NORMAL, HIGH=DISABLE)
17.............. OUTPUT, RESET CONTROLLER (LOW=RESET, HIGH=NORMAL)
18.............. ALL SIGNALS GROUND
19 TO 25 ....... NONE


NOTE: MOVE ENABLE IS USED TO STOP THE COMPUTER STREAM OF CODES UNTIL THE SERVO
MOTORS CATCH UP. ON TIME-OUT IT WILL PRODUCE A SERVO ERROR.

EXAMPLE TRUE TABLE FOR THE 'X' AXIS QUADRATURE (TYP. FOR OTHER AXES}

PIN ..... | 6 | 7 |
------------
SEQUENCE ------------
1 | 0 | 0 |
2 | 0 | 1 |
3 | 1 | 1 |
4 | 1 | 0 |

Thanks,
Art
