Re: Post Processor help GRBL, Standalone THC, Floating head
If you you could post the job file that made that code, it might help me to be able to duplicate the code.

Re: Post Processor help GRBL, Standalone THC, Floating head
If you could post a simple job file, the post you are using, and the code you want the post to output, I can take a look at it. I have been somewhat successful at modifying posts, and would be happy to take a shot at it.

Re: Lost red background in material window
Check the material dimensions. Options (menu) ...Job Options..Material Size tab. If one of the dimensions is zero then you won't see the red.

Re: Arc to radius problem
In Mach you have to back the code up further. I turn off dthc and start from a ways back and then manually fire the torch and turn dtch on when I get to the right place to start cutting. Assuming it is similar in Linux.

Re: Tool additions
And lead in and lead out settings, too. Since they usually change with the material being cut.

Re: Grbl problems
Yeah, sorry about that. Typing on my phone and didn't get the capitalization correct. SheetCam is picky about that. Glad you got it.

Re: Grbl problems
Only dumb question is the one that isn't asked.
Change them to nonmodalnumber not number.
The documentation is in SheetCam next to the edit post button in machine options. It is the right button on the bottom. Can't recall what it says.

Re: Grbl problems
If you want all of the moves output even if they are the same then change the modalnumber lines to nonmodalnumber. The modal command just says that if the coordinate is the same as last time then don't ouput it again.
Read through the post documentation file, it's pretty informative.

Re: Grbl problems
If you edit your post and search for the lines that have the G commands (G0, G1, etc.) and change the ModalText to just Text, it will always output those lines.
So
post.ModalText (" G00")
would be
post.Text (" G00")
So
post.ModalText (" G00")
would be
post.Text (" G00")

Re: Min Cut Length for DTHC question
I understand the min cut length refers to the entire piece of geometry. Like a whole circle. If the perimeter of the circle is less than the minimum including the leads then it isn't activated. Can you just make the delay long enough so at the cut speed it won't turn on until after the lead-in. If y...

Re: help with post modification
I believe WyoGreen is correct. Some posts had a parking move hardcoded into them, but this does not appear to be one of them. I must be set in the Job Options.

Re: Z-axis keeps going up
Try it with THC disabled. If it cuts fine then your THC is running the Z backwards. It is probably trying to lower the torch to drop the volts to match the setting, but the torch is going up instead causing the volts to increase.

Re: Q regarding lead-in spacing from other cuts
Yeah, I didn't think that was what it was, but I thought I'd mention it just in case. I don't usually cut full sheets all at once, so I just manually adjust the starts.

Re: Q regarding lead-in spacing from other cuts
Could it be trying to chain cut the parts to avoid the extra pierce? I know there is a chain length setting, but I can't see the entire other part to see if that might be the case.
