For power, just use a spindle command, like S100 for 100%, and S50 for 50%..

Hello .
I was very busy with my house and i'm back now. So.. I figure out what was wrong with all error mesages,.
well ... i didn't know to made some functions or edit others you need to have pokeys attached.
Also need to check back the library .  Now i know.

About power and "S" comand . No way to set the power in GCODE. Definetly is something wrong with my Auggie
or i'm just stupid  :-\ . The rest of Auggie work perfectly , only if i want to run different poers comanded in GCODE
don't work
Also don't work in a single or multi MDI.
I attach below a simple circle shape to test in multi MDI Any sugestion is apreciated
Thanks

  Is the override button under the laser power checked.  If so, it will ignore Gcode power
commands. This allows me to override power without Gcode in the program switching it
back.

Hi Art . Is almost morning here and no clue about that power set with "S" parameter.
I dont have "override button " for laser on my panel .
I even try with different PC and i managed to mess up pokeys config and all of , soon i connect other PC.
Right now Auggie work realy perfect , no any issue only that power set in GCODE.
Well.. now i'm feel realy stupid. All the time simple things mess me up
Thanks . i will keep digging.

  Sorry about that, I was thinking of feedrate.

It wont work with S words controlling the laser unless you change the script in the
LaserSpindleControl library. You need to make the speed function look like this..

global SpindleSpeed = function( speed )
{
  /*power is automatic in laser spindle mode..
    no need to specify, in laser mode, spindle
    power is a function of augmentation */
    print(" Set Max Laser Power" , speed);
    GlobalSet( "LaserMaxPower" ,speed);

}; 

  this will change the slider value to the S word value and burn at that power. There is no override for this
though unless you add some sort of logic to that call to override S words. You will see the slider change
position on each S word in the GCode with this set this way.

Hi Art
Yea , yea i should figure out is something missing in spindle library because
i use to control the power like in code posted in picture below.
But was annoing to edit all the code manualy or to create little program to insert automaticaly the code below the S# parameter.
Well... the thing mess me up was the lack of knowledge . I read several section in the forum and in some posts i read
some of GCODE parameters are already included in AUGGIE itself inside of software not in external scripts .
And in my head became the ideea to dont create a conflict if is already defined in program.
Exist somewhere a doc' about all variables used in software and parameters of all of them ?
Anyway , you save me Art , that S# issue became annoing because remain stick on my brain   ;D
So.. i think now i can increase my laser knowledge until 11.363%
Thanks
Bobby

Bobby:

  Awesome, that too will work. By placing it into the library you just allow it to
automatically translate an S word to a GlobalSet. That you figured that out is
proof your doing very well with it. Mixing script with Gcode is a pretty powerful
way to do almost anything.

Thanks

Hi Art .
You have right with that .
One of my old problem was to engrave on some small objects a part of them surface . I noticed is very hard to align the perfect possition on that object . Actualy tou need to made some tricks to find the perfect coordonates to engrave on some spots.
So i was thinking to create a extension in Inkscape to be able to comunicate with a " possition sensor camera " and the coordonated and picture to be transfered in Inkscape with some filters and in that way can be able to
put the engrave part in the perfect spot possition .
So i start with that and the next [part in my ideea is to GCODE to be created as reference of that object coordonates.
Until now i was manage to create the perfect reference of object dimmension and to be able to have the perfect distance from X home to that object .
Still i have some problems with Y axis but i will figure out at the end.
The error of object size is maximum 200u and the same for X axis (senzor limits), but 0.2mm is not a problem anymore .
Doing that by hand definetly is more big error. That dont bother me now.
I put below some vids. The sensor is a VISOR vision sensor A10.

And some pic below . Thanks

Well , finaly first test after i fix Y issue . For some reason GCODE take value as px on Y and
mm on X . Weird but i found the issue . Was in senzor config.

And the sensor i use it for
https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/4top-assets/media/Sensopart/Manual/sensopart_manual_v10_v20_def.pdf

Now will be a problem with Z , because soon i will mode the table the entire calibration will be gone .
I need to find a way to made a offset for Z and also that will be tight in connection of size of object and XY reference .
Thanks

Hi everyone .
During time i keep playing with Auggie on different materials different resolutions
and of course different type of pictures how mucth the difference will do
a simple picture and one already made in BW and limit 100 in gray scale.
All good but sometimes after i generate with AUGS i get blank screen
like all the code missing in "aug" file but if you look is there .And i figure out
if in mistake you have double " . " (don't know the term in english) in the photo name
like " photo_1.300x300.jpg " the "tap" file will be ok but Auggie will don't recognize the
"aug" file because on tap file the program will remove automaticaly the " . " but
the "aug"file will remain the same /
I hope will help someone
Keep playing
Bobby

Bobby:

Thx for that note.. I will make a note to change the "." search to "from the start" to "from the end" in the code next
time Im in there. Good work on noting that...

Thx
