I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I have this loaded. It looks correct in ground control. I hit go, it runs the first few lines, ignores some “not supported” stuff, and then doesn’t do anything. Here’s a snippit and the full file is attached below.
I should say, I’ve tried a number of files. They all do this.
It runs fine, but when it gets to the first G1 line, it stops and doesn’t do anything. Help!!
plese post the gcode that the grbl post processor created. The fact that your
first attempt was generating unsupported code pretty much invalidates it.
After banging my head against the wall for a little longer, I think that the issue was that there was no “f” codes in those files. I guess you have to say it in 2places in freecad to get it to work. After I added that info, it started working like a champ. I’m cutting now!
Yeah, that’s what I thought when you mentioned it stopping on G1. G0 runs at maxfeed and G1 at whatever the current feedrate is set to… which probably is 0 if not initialized.
I can think of two schools of thought. One. You shouldn’t be using it if you don’t know what you’re doing. I’m figuring this out as I go along and that was a mistake that was easy to fix…I just didn’t know it at the time. Two. If it has zero velocity with the bit plunged, it could just sit there and start burning if you’re not watching it.
Maybe something in the middle? Maybe something that checks what you import and a warning message that says, “Hey, man, this has zero velocity. You gonna start a fire if you’re not careful. Check your G-Code.”
