G91.1 G Code error

Post by amseam »

Just beginning to use sheetcam and having a bit of difficulty.

This is for a large fabric plotter/cutter with solenoid driving a 28mm rotary blade, plotting pen and future hot knife. Have been using the Mill/router tool for the cutter and tried the plasma tool for the plotting pen.

No problem with the gcode work flow process so far...but

My problem is the I'm using the EdingCNC controller which doesn't recognize G91.1 command. Once it gets to the line with the G91.1 it throws an error (L4: Unknown g code used). I'm using the Mach3 tangential with 3 heads post processor which generates a G91.1 code within the file.

Any suggestions?

Got to Options->machine->post processor and click on the 'Edit post' button.

Line 89 should look like this:
post.Text (" G91.1 (incremental IJ mode)\n")
Delete that line.

Post Processor

Thank You for the follow up.
I removed the text line (post.Text) in the postprocessor file now the following error.

Must use g0 or g1 with g53.

I've attached the gcode file and the dfx file for your information.

Thank You

Looking at the post, it is going to take quite a lot of work to get it to work with the Eding CNC controller. Do you need multiple head capability?

Yes
I need to use a pen and a cutting blade at a min.

If I need to pay for additional time, let me know.

Thanks
