Summary | 0004320: Support incremental Gcode in postprocessors | ||||
Description | Some machine controls require gcode to be incrmental. We currently don't have any postprocessors that work this way so there's no reference implementation. https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=44554&p=380569&hilit=edm#p380569 | ||||

I really need a sample file and gcode to work with but here's an early attempt to try. I made a 10x10 cube and profiled it without compensation. Use the attached postprocessor with the following parameters --no-header --relative --axis-modal --line-numbers The output looks like this: N105 (begin preamble) N110 G17 G54 G40 G49 G80 G91 N115 G91 N120 G21 N125 (begin operation: Fixture) N130 (machine: not set, mm/min) N135 G54 N140 (finish operation: Fixture) N145 (begin operation: Spot Drill001) N150 (machine: not set, mm/min) N155 (Spot Drill001) N160 M5 N165 M6 T2 G43 H2 N170 M3 S0 N175 (finish operation: Spot Drill001) N180 (begin operation: Contour) N185 (machine: not set, mm/min) N190 (Contour) N195 (Uncompensated Tool Path) N200 G0 Z+016000 N205 G0 X+005000 Y+005000 N210 G0 Z-002000 N215 G1 Z-014000 N220 G1 Y-010000 N225 G1 X-010000 N230 G1 Y+010000 N235 G1 X+010000 N240 G0 Z+016000 N245 (finish operation: Contour) (begin postamble) N250 M05 N255 G17 G54 G90 G80 G40 N260 M2 relative_post.py (16,164 bytes)

The attached post has two kinds of changes in it. The changes to make the relative gcode are, I think, broadly applicable and should be included in the linuxcnc reference post processor. The changes to format the numbers in a specific way is unique to the Geg's EDM machine and should not be included. |
