As a thought would it not be better to create the entire X mark in one operation rather than breaking it up into 2 functions. Lower the scribe one time run the X code then raise the scriber. As is you are lowering the scriber , scribe one line then raise the scriber , then lower the scribet again to...

You can add the Gcode to do a simple X mark at the drill point center from the post. From the drill center point Mxxx (turn on scribe) G91 (set Inc mode) G1 X-.500 (move to startpoint) G1 X1.00 G1 X-.500 G1 Y.500 G1 Y-1.00 G1 Y.500 Mxxx (turn off scribe) G90 (reset mode to ABS) Now everytime you cal...

Here is a test post for those that want to play with Air and Plasma Duty cycles. You set the Duty cycle values in the post under OnInitiate() It tracks time based on Move Length /feedrate it updates both Duty cycles. It adds time for cutting and subtracts time for rapids. When it reaches a trip poin...

Both of those functions could easily be tracked in Scam. Duty cycle is always calculated after the unit reaches max thermal load. Most duty cycles are based on the 10 minute cycle . In a scam post just track cut time as additive and rapids time as subtractive. When the combination of the 2 reaches t...

OK I had to stop back by the shop to check on that. The way I do it is put a switch across the ARC OK input signal going into Mach3. That way it sees that it is ready to go as soon as the M3 signal is given. It will strike the arc at the same time start moving. Kinda like a gouge start. But it makes...

The problem is the M3 has a slight delay to it as it uses DospinCW() to start the spindle. There IS an alternative. You change teh M3 code to do a direct ouputstart ActivateSignal(output1) IF your M3 is tied to output1 , look in the spindle section for the output# that is used with M3. I would also ...

I see where it puts in the Pierce height. It is at the end of the Rapid move ???. I corrected what I thought would do it BUT it is doubling some of the posted Gcode when it should NOT. It is making some loops back through through the code that I do not understand or follow (;-) We will have to ask L...
