I don't know if Estlcam can do this automatically. Phil. --- End quote --- Yes EstlCAM has a tab where you save your standard initialisation/start commands, and another for end of program commands. |

Will, I mostly use Vectric Cut2d to generate GCode and an initialising string of commands begins every file. Mach3, which I use on my mill, also adds it's own string most of which duplicate those from Cut2d.

Phil. --- End quote --- Phil, I imagine it's very much dependent on the controller, but iirc on the Heidenhain they do while in normal mode, but if you go into MDI then you have to re-enter them. |

Will, Try reversing the X distances in the program that doesn't work - I see that you have homing set but I am not sure whether you have 'homed'. Also - and I see a similar issue with mine - what are your MACH values showing? If you are running the normal default G53 co-ords, the MACH values are shown in smaller text - but these are the ones that are used for keeping within the defined window - and you have software limits set. So....try physically placing the tool to 0,0,0, then step through to MACH co-ords, do a 'zero all', step back to G53, do another 'zero all', then run your little programme. I run X and Y to the table physical limits but Z is set by hand each time for a tool change and if I set it such that the MACH co-ords do not permit a retract then nothing moves... And on that same note, I see that your Z safe height is set to zero which is IMO very unwise since this is usually the height of the top of the surface to machine - the default '5' is far safer. Best of luck! Simon |

In case anyone might still need it, the configuration generator is completed now and will stay on my site for unlimited time. If anyone would like to host it though, I can send over the PHP code. http://bmuessig.eu/tools/pandora-configurator/ TLDR for all new owners of this controller: You can use this website to configure all settings of the controller without having to dial them in on the controller itself. Just fill in the settings, download the file to a USB stick and reboot the controller with the stick connected. |
