My laser engraver from 0 knowledge to 32.461% .... probably

[BobbyW]

Hello everyone and merry christmas
Today i want to engrave a message in to a clock and i get a surprise .
I try to generate a code for engrave and i got a error .
I change the name of photo , i change location , nothing work . I ever made a sys restore
because i didn't turn off my laptop for months , and that error become alive after restart . if you put same dimmension on X 230 unit you get an error.
Finaly i figure out changing the size to original photo to 2000 x.. and after it works.
Everyone can try if get the same error ?
I post pelow the original photo and the error.
Thanks
Bobby

Bobby,  I loaded your image into Augs.  Set the output size in X axis to 4" which made the Y Axis size 3.9582".  I set the ramp to 0.5".  Hit generate and got the .aug and .tap files as expected.  Loaded the .tap file and it appears to be all set to run.  I didn't execute the file but it looked all ok to me.

Thanks Mark for the test.
Yes if you put any X dimmension than "230" will work without problems.
I work with mm so at me x230 is mean W230mm.
Maybe depends of the individual system and motors config.
Well that annoying because some days ago i got the same error on other photo , no reason why . I just modify the original photo
from W2000px to W2100px and working fine.
Of course annoying me because i dont understand why
I edit all photo to grayscale and ajust everything to look nice until to generate augie code.

I notice all photo are different interpretated "color-grey" in auggie and i try to find a way to get a stable reference for all photo .
That to dont test , retest and adjust until i got a optim result.
Thanks to all

Hi everyone .

That error come on the same point doesn't matter what i use to generate GCODE .
And now commin again .

I just want to understand what's going on . Or maybe help someone in the future.

Hmm ,maybe send me the Gcode so I can see what is crashing. I may be able to trace it internally..Sounds like
a division by zero in there somehow..

Well , is not realy a big deal, sure is in my PC something wrong.
I has hard time to install win7 , the bios was protected and maybe i mess up something in my PC.
That happen rarely . I remove that point where program stop, created a new GCODE & work just fine after.
Single problem remain , after auggie crash , the polywood are damaged and i cant reload from same point as before.
But like in life good & bad = knowledge 
Thanks

Hi everyone
I have some trouble for a while with my code . I try to find a extension for inkskape
to generate the GCODE to fit with Auggie and to cut and engrave by color lines.
So far i found some , but not useful , no one change the power,speed by line color.
So keep reading and combine some pieces of codes also writing new ones i manage
to generate the GCODE with 4 different power speed by color.
To good to be true , sometime after engraving , when the time come to cut , the laser dont fire
on some small parts . I noticed if the part need to be cutted have less than 4 points sometime
miss to cut random pieces. If you run the code again , same parts are not cutted.
If i generate separately the GCODE , one for engrave and one for cut , everything is ok.
That happen only when cut and engrave with different power speed are combined in one file.
I put below a pic with that error and also the GCODE , maybe experimented guys can
figure out what is wrong .
I try to figure out but no chance for me .
Also if someone want i can send the inkscape extension , single problem is
variable are writed 30% romanian and the rest in english . In SVG file , black line generate cut
, blue deep engrave and blue+green light engrave.
Thanks
Bobby

You may want to try it without all the M5 and M3's. Just put one at the start. Auggie will not cut in G0.
The laser will only cut or burn when G1 moves are in progress , otherwise power is off. ITs possible
all the redundant script calls are threadlocking or something. Just put m3 at start, and an M5 at end of
the code and rely on the G0 moves to not cut while the G1 moves do.
