Mach3R3.037 Skipping over A axis moves in G-code
« on: February 23, 2008, 08:13:38 AM »
Hi, Brian & Steve

Mach isn't reading A axis moves in g-code and MDI line from time to
time, Inc moves seem fine, ABS moves are not.

It's doing it on another computer hear also, Pic's below.

G90 (INC First)
G00 x0
g01 z -.25 f100
g91 ;inc move set
G01 x2.5 A720 f100
g90 ;abs move re-set
g00 z0
g01 z -.25 f100
G01 x5 A1440 f100
g90 ;abs move re-set
g00 z0
g00 x0
M30
%

G90 ;abs move set (INC Last)
G00 x0
g01 z -.25 f100
G01 x2.5 A1440 f100
g00 z0
g01 z -.25 f100
g91 ;inc move set
G01 x2.5 A720 f100
g90 ;abs move re-set

Hi Chip

Ignore the toolpath display when an A axis is involved, it often bears no resmblance to what the job is actually going to do. The following is a toolpath display of a file the engraves Test1 around the job, then Test along the job.

Hi, Steve

Yes the DRO aren't moving, When it's acting up it just doesn't load the A axis ABS moves, INC moves are fine, MDI line is sometines intermitent also.

One other thing I've noted is if you make a TAB/MPG move or MDI line move the Screen doesn't update completely, A click on the screen or additional jog move and you can see it.

Just a Bug in there Somewhere, I'd say.

Thanks, Chip
