Hello Art,

Thanks so much for this work.

I will try it the week after next (I am away from the cnc this week and on business trip next week:-)... Sorry for the delay.

Is the latest version available from the regular download location?

Hello,

OK, I understand now...

Obviously, the "probe to 0" is, ultimately, what I Was looking for, but I can always execute the G38, and then manually set the z axis at 0. it's not like it is a complicated operation, nor is it something that is done 10 times a minute!

Can one "script" gcode ...

Hello,

This sounds great...

Do you have an idea of the time between signal sensing and movement stop? Just to get an idea of the precision that can be obtained (not that I need too much anyway)?

Cyrille

Hello,

Well, that is what I did... I wrote a "translator"...
However, since I never learned/wrote any G-Code, I have no idea if it is valid or not:-(

Here is what I generate. Does it look valid?

Hello,

What do you think is my best path to convert my input files?
An external program?
Or using auggie's awsome (trully) ability to interpret input files?

Headers and the like asside, my files look like this:

TR,18000    // spindle speed  Gcode equivalent: ????
J2,0.000000,0 ...

Hello,

Thank you for doing/checking this, I truly appreciate the time that you are spending helping me...

I have another question. Do you have a ? list ? of the subset of code that auggie does support? I am asking as my cam tool does not produ?e code, but something quite close and I will ...

Hello,

So, really, I would need to move for 20ms at 1cm/s (=0.02mm), wait for 20ms or so, to make sure that the move is finished (is there a wait/Pause in your scripting language?).
Test the input and loop.Would that work?

Hello,

Maybe "probing" is not the right word to use as it seems to have another meaning in cnc world...

Pokeys has digital inputs. Is it possible to "read" these inputs from Auggie? You seem to be able to read at least some of the inputs (limits comes to mind...)

Could I use this to create a ...

Hello,

>3: How do i create a "find probe" button to "zero" the z axis with the probe?
>  You cannot. I never turned on Probing in Auggie as I had no use of it.

Ha, now, this is a quite a problem for me as "zeroing" the Z axis is quite an important operation on a cnc machine...
I assumed that ...

Hello,

Thank you makes sense...

I came up with a couple of questions during the night, mostly generic cnc ones, showing how much of a newbie I am.

1: Machine vs job coordinates. am I correct in assuming that machine coordinates are absolutes, and normally never changing coordinates, which might ...
