Release April 1 / 2017 - Auggie
Posted: Sun Apr 01, 2018 7:47 pm
Hi All:
New version of Auggie is released, version 3.1. This version fixes a bug where a dot
would be placed before and /or after each line of a photo in laser scanning.
A new command for laser drilling or impact engraver "G04 P.040 R50" translates to an
impact or laser power of 50% for 40ms . This occurs only if M3 is active and laser mode
is on. This command has a different meaning if used
while a photo augment is loaded, the laser or impact time is then specified by the
command "G04 P40 R1" which means the photo engraver will redo the message for
a maximum time of 40ms at a max power of 100% ( grey scale 0xff) to a minimum
power of 0. ( grey scale 0 at 1ms). This type of half tone image Gcode can now be put out
by the image processor under the "half-tone" selection. Grid and max time in ms is
settable at time of augment generation.
A bug is fixed where G0X10 would fail due to the "0x10" being taken as hex number 10
and the program simply translated it to G16. If a space was between G0 and X10, no
error was seen.
Changes to the multiline script window werent accepted till after next run, this is repaired
and changes are seen at execution time.
Error output in log is simplified for easier to read log file.
This only affect Auggie, and the Auggie install is now uploaded to
the downloads page.
Thx
Art
( Happy Easter by the way.
