I am not yet ready for full g-code etc. I have 2 axes (X&Y) under control from my pendant and also some very simple g-code (like 15 lines of so: Move to here, travel in x, travel in -x, pause, do some more simple moves) from the DDCSV1 and the usb card. All good so far. Am learning Fusion 360 at moment, 4 weeks in and have just about sussed the parametric modelling part. When it come to g-code and the drivers and the mills then there is a lot to learn. I assume a converted Sieg is not going to easily handle multi-tool g-code files what with tool libraries and all. Might be time to spin of a g-code basics thread explaining the various options etc to use with our widely different set-ups. Like 2 tools need two separate g-code files and 2 runs. Maybe also a Fusion-360 thread as the Auto desks forums are huge and a lot goes unanswered. I am talking about F-360 basic questions from newbies! Enjoy the New Year Will |

--- Quote from: chriscnc on January 10, 2017, 08:09:21 PM ---So I've been following this gem and its a toss up between a Pathpilot hack (linuxcnc) or this to replace Mach3 on a small 3 axis mill. I'm not a Linux guy in any way so i would be cutting my teeth on linux and linuxcnc let alone the pathpilot hack. So i think this DDCS is an awesome option I was also looking at the 4-4-XXXX the 50khz one. So my question is when the Gcode comes to a tool change what happens? In order to do a tool change you must just make separate gcodes ( not sure how to do this with rest option machining) and just keep X and Y g54 and zero Z? Thanks for any info. --- End quote --- HI, The controller do not support tool change, so the best thing to do is to generate separate path of the same job for different tools, or you can add some simple code to your G-code to stop the machine at some point, rise up the Z axis, change the tool, do the Tool Zero and start again, is very easy, or you can jog the axis and change the tool manually, the set the Z zero again as much as you like, the start again with the new G-code. JUST REMEMBER, do not zero the X-Y axis when you change program keep the current coordinate system, just do the tool zero, all works like a charm for me. Hope thai what i say is clear.... Any question just ask, we are here Cheers :beer: |

Hi again. I am almost ready :) 1. I've changed my drivers to DM556D. 2. I' made a box by my controller, for my controller. (laser cutting, 5W blue diode) 3. engraving by my controller All stepper motors run well now. (Thanks Merlin) But I have some problem still. G02/G03 g-code take mistake. The arc is inverse at some place. I use Fusion360 for design and generate g-codes. Cps is Fanuc general. By the way! Perhaps I forgot reset after previous file.. I don't know. Have you any idea? (thanks) |

Just try it follow the basic instructions to setup the tools diameter, take a few minutes to understand how it works, I found it very useful, and my controller is working great. Let us know how is going..... Regards Inviato dal mio iPad utilizzando Tapatalk |

--- Quote --- ...set up the output code as " generic" and... --- End quote --- -Have you though "default" ? Truly excellent program. A lot of thanks. I've made some g-codes, tomorrow I'm going to try. I can't find X, Y, Z, +/- end values, but at least I know them. Or this link could help: https://nraynaud.github.io/webgcode/ Do you use G02/G03 without any problem? I can see, they are switchable. |
