I only have X & Y axes fitted with steppers. For debugging these are disconnected from the drivers. Alll I am doing is driving the controller's axis displays. I just wonder is it the usb stick?? Will try a different one when the garage warms up. I am sure the g-code is good as estlcam runs it ok (in sim mode - no Arduino connected) Thanks for all the help. |
| Will_D:
Should have posted the above earlier!! Anyways an update: Tried different memory stick and same problem. Ran the code on the SMC4-4 (no hardware connected) and all worked fine. |

As has been suggested try adding a feed rate (F100) e.g. (Project Mill_Test) (Created by Estlcam version 9 build 9.046) (Required tools:) (End mill 3mm) F100 G00 Z5.00 G00 X50.00 Y-1.50 G00 Z0.50 G01 Z-0.50 G01 X51.50 Y25.00 G01 X0.00 G01 Y0.00 G01 X50.00 G00 Z5.00 G00 X0.00 Y0.00 Maybe the controller assumes a feed rate of zero if you don't put one in and it would, understandably, never get anywhere. I wouldn't worry about a spindle speed at this stage but it can be added with e.g. S1000 Your GCode doesn't draw a proper rectangle by the way - it draws a non closed shape with a sloping right hand side!

https://nraynaud.github.io/webgcode/ This is a simple online g-code simulator, just to check the file eventually... my 2 cents.. |
| Will_D:
Thanks Merlin, Nice simulator. As expected the code looks fine on the sim - just as expected. |
