![]() ![]() Scott, What you have told me is VERY helpful. Like Gary said though, you need to have the right controller/control software versions for Gcode to be read/executed properly. Look at the programming handbook for what you could mix in with the Gcode. That way you can control both x and y feedrate and z feedrate separately) and JH for jog home. You could manually add in (or edit the post processor to do it if you can) a MS, xyspeed,zspeed (like MS,3,1. If you narrow it down to this, it runs without error for me. I apologize if you already know your Gcode. G0 is jog, G1 is move/cut, G2/3 are arcs. F20 is the move/cut speed but in inches/min and ShopBot runs in inches/sec so F20 will be translated to 0.33 inches/sec (something like F120 or more would be more like it depending on what machine you have and what you're cutting). G43 and HH have to do with tool length offset (don't know if it works, but likely not). ![]() M03 is spindle start clockwise and that works for starting the spindle and M05 should turn it off. The S10000 is the spindle rpm setting and that works if you have a spindle and speed controller. Following that is T01 for tool 1 and M06 is a tool change by macro (likely ignored). It appears that it should be an N instead. I don't know for sure what ones Shopbot reads or ignores, but it will likely give a warning if there's a bad command. G40 is cancel cutter compensation, G17 is X Y plane, G90 absolute movement, G91 incremental distance, G28 return home. The first two lines are kind of machine setup parameters. Does the ShopBot support these F Commands, or should i ditch them an just stick with the M commands? Or is something typed in wrong?Īs you may already know, the "N0010, N0020." are just line numbers. the problem is that the machine is cutting at a very slow speed, definitely not 20 inches per minute. Apparently the F Commands are supposed to control the feed speeds and they are set for 20 inches per minute (we are just cutting styrofoam right now). Once again, this is for the post processor for a Haas machine, however most of it works on the ShopBot. I figured i would just post some code and see if you could maybe help me make sense of it. Thanks for getting back so quickly, what you have told me so far is helpful, but i have a few questions before i go testing this machine and breaking something. ![]()
