Since you are just switching over, have you set up your steps per inch properly? What are the results like when you are jogging? i.e. if you jog an inch on the DROS are you moving an inch?

Andy, I had some time before work this morning and ran your code on my machine. Just like in your example, the control shows some crazy numbers. I did not capture if the motions are are correct even if the control is not.

I took out the G64 and it appeared to run the same.

I took out the G20 and it ran fine in metric mode.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say to forget about getting the control to run in inch mode via the G20.

That being said, I saw on another forum where a person fooled the control into thinking it was in inch mode by multiplying his pulses/per mm by 25.4. This means the control will put out 25.4 times the number of pulses necessary...which will in effect make the machine make movements in the inch realm. The down side is that the machine is now only able to accept 3 decimal place inputs (.001). For this to work correctly I would guess the post processor would need to be adjust to output 3 decimal places to ensure the rounding happens outside of the control. Not sure if that is a requirement, but I know it will work correctly.

The G64. I am torn by that command. I have not used it much in my 30 year programming career, but that does not mean anything tangible. I might be missing out on something great. I am going to review my FANUC manuals at work today and see how to correctly use it and test it at home on this control. I'm fairly certain one would not see any measurable effect on a home built machine unless they are machining at very high feed rates and trying to hold a corner definition. I'm very realistic with my application and I can say without a shadow of a doubt my machine is the weak link in holding tight corners at high speed.

Rob -

Thanks for checking! Not good news that you can repeat the error - I was hoping it was me.

Re the G64 - Fusion put that in and I don't know if it supported or what it does.

I tried to run the simple program below and the display is 6.25 times too big on x, y, and z, which has to be a clue.
What firmware are you running? I am thinking of flashing the original to check.

G90
G20
G01 X2 F50
G01 Y3 F40
G01 X0 F40
G01 Y0
M2

Feeds did not seem to have an effect, not sure why.

Steps converted via Mathcad and should be good since the units work.

Thanks for your help.

Andy, I'm using Benedikt's latest release firmware.

I was just setting here thinking and I have not run a single thing on my machine that I have measured....nor do I watch the line of code to see if I am at the programmed coordinates.

Looks like it is time for some investigative work on my end.

I'll report back later tonight after I finish testing.

Quick note - feed codes appear to be working.
Reflashed over Benedikt's firmware, no change.
