sourcerabbit / gcode-sender Goto Github PK

I have an issue that it stops sending gcode to a controller after a random time, mostly on bigger gcode files.
I noticed when in that state I press pause and than resume again it sends one line of code.

It is very frustrating because it destroys a workpeace since it does not remember the last coordinates.

I really like this software because it is only one that runs ok on my weak laptop, so if somone can help I would be very grateful.

Sir, I am a beginner to CNC machines. I made myself a CNC machine and need to use it as a plotter. I use Arduino Nano with V4 shield and A4988 drivers for NEMA 17 stepper motors.
I installed Arduino software and did GbrlUpload too. Selected the correct serial COM port(3) and selected Baud as 115200.
After connecting to the PC when I browse my Gcode file (it is a spiral sketch)created with Inkscape and hit the send button, under Machine Status/Active State indicate "Idle". Time elapsed advances. When I opened Visualize I cannot see any movement or graphic. For your information I did not connect motors to the Arduino nano board. Is it the problem? Please reply me and advise me. Thank you. Brgds. Fernando

Currently if you need to cancel the processing of a gcode file your current locations are thrown away for some random values. The working position needs to maintain the position.

1. Ability to Maximize the Window, currently grayed out
2. Step Sizes - Would be great if you could have the ability to select step size from a few choices.
3. Probing - When that is running I do not see any gcode displayed, I feel that would be helpful.

Thanks - Going to run it on my cnc and see how it runs.

Need a way to set the machine position, not just the working position and it needs to persist. Software should not start at 0,0 every time.

Hi,

I am having a problem with the "Hole Center Finder" and I think I found the problem in the Code:

In Process_HoleCenterFinder.java there is a variable called "fMaxDistance = 50000;"
50000 equels 50 meters? thats a large hole to probe.

If I enable Softlimits in GRBL the "Hole Center Finder" just does not work (soft limits),
if I disable Softlimits the steppers get enabled (tock) but my best gues is that GRBL craches on a 50 meter probe.

I wil look in to the GRBL code, but it would be "nice" if SourceRabbit changes the probe distance to something more realistic.

I am using fusion 360 on windows 7 driving a Shapeoko 3 CNC router. I am using sourcerabbit 1.2.0

When I use inches in fusion 360, the tool moves as expected above the stock to the entry point. Then the tool begins to spiral into the stock very very slowwwly.

I experimented a bit and switched fusion 360 to millimeters. Now it seems to work correctly. The tool entry spiral is the expected speed.

Am I doing something else wrong with fusion 360 or is it really a source rabbit issue? I googled pretty hard but could find no one else reporting this.

The opening window appears to have a drop-down list to change baud rate, but the only option is 15200. Is there any way I can change to 9600?
Thanks

Sometimes pressing the soft reset button creates new window, but both windows are usable?

I'm running Linux Mint, I have downloaded netbeans and also one of the jdk's from Oracle. When I go to build project i receive an error telling me /lib does not exist.

I don't have any options, and can't start the app.
I've tried building from source, running as root and nothing...

I also created the directory /var/lock as described on the Readme.

OS: Mac Sierra
Java:
java version "1.8.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b17)

Hello, I have a Mac 10.13.1, GRBL 1.1f with Java 1.8.0_25. I get the following when I try to connect. There are no other options from the ones selected. I'm confident it's the correct port and it's functional. Is there any logging done? What could be wrong? My GRBL installation works fine with UGCS.

Thanks.

Adding support for the M6 Tool change command would allow for sending one file to run rather than opening multiple files for a single project.

The hole centre finder will not work for me. When I initiate it, my mill jerks once and doesn't move. The script seems to think it is still running and the script window usually closes when I hit the 'stop' button in it but several times the whole program has locked up so that I've had to kill the whole thing. I'm running SourceRabbit 1.2.0 on Linux Mint and the latest GRBL. I also downloaded and tried version 1.1.9 but had the same results.

Hello guys, I have a problem in the postprocesor in Aspire Vectric, in th screen not show nothing and when send the code only move in a line ad stop.

With Vectric:

With ESTLCAM

With ESTLCAM all is good but someody knows in which site is the Marlin postprocessor in ESTLCAM?

Would be great to see where the tool is in relation to the gcode rendering. Update the location as the program executes.
