@deckingman Yes this could well be it.

@droftarts Nice idea but unfortunately the Y axis is longer than the X axis in machine.

I will get myself a new lead screw.

@baird1fa, @gloomyandy is correct. I will fix this in RRF 3.4.2rc2.

@tyrod I just found “Feature request-workpiece angle compensation CNC” by jay_s_uk and in it he wrote a script to do exactly what I wanted. I just searched for g68 and it’s on the second search page. I haven’t the time right now to try it. Thank you jay_s_uk! (And everyone else)!😀

@allsirius You may want to start a new thread for your issue.

@tqkez-0 said in Kill stepper power when switch triggered (extra end stop):

Just investigating M581 and it seems I would still have to assign it to one of the axis, which would mean I'm still limited to one end stop per axis.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Where did you see this? I think you may be looking at old documentation.

https://docs.duet3d.com/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#m581-configure-external-trigger

@tqkez-0 said in Kill stepper power when switch triggered (extra end stop):

I've already assigned a high end z endstop.
I'd like to use M581 to trigger emergency stop on a seperate z low end stop.
Is it possible?

Yes. You need to define which pin you want to use using M950 first.

@oliof thank you for the links, it's interesting. It is Java based code, it is easy to understand. The approach is to find the verticals of the surface and calculate the 5 axis orientation.

I've found some scientific articles to calculate bezier/bspline for the surface and calculate hotend/drill movement. This will be the solution I'll try, by calculation of the surface of stl objects and calculating the necessary movements.

I have not seen any issue with a printer (and ASFAIK it utilizes g2/3 at some points)
but as you can see from the pictures with CNC it looks different

It may be still post processor issue, but g2/g3 code looks ok-ish

@droftarts said in What is a 'tool' in CNC according to RepRap in CNC world?:

I’m not actually a CNC user, at least not yet!

Give it time! We'll bring you over to the dark side and you'll never look back - if you like lots of noise, woodchips and sawdust everywhere 👍

@droftarts said in Triggers won't work 3.4.2rc1 (CNC-Mode):

@maxgyver like endstops, connect switches between io#.in and GND, not 3.3V. See https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Tuning/Triggers

That solved it, thanks! I must have misread this section.-> Big "Facepalm" moment.

@tqkez-0

Check out the object model. https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Object_Model_of_RepRapFirmware

DuetWebControl also includes an object model plugin (at least newer versions do). Run that and you should be able to access the position for each axis and reference it using variations of @TQKez-0's example.

@cellomike said in Duet 3 - over-temperature alarm:

I've not been able to find much documentation about it

This is the bible

Here's the code I used if anyone comes across this post in the future

M584 Y1 U2 P4 ;Separate Y Axis into Y&U and show U axis on UI M564 S0 H0 ;Allow movement without homing as U axis not homed G1 U2 ;Move right hand side of Y axis 2mm from endstop M564 S1 H1 ;Enforce axis minimums and maximums and only allow movement after homing M584 Y1:2 P3 ;Rejoin Y axis and hide U from UI

@cthulhulabs said in CNC Enclosure Door Pause:

Is it possible to configure two triggers on one pin? IE trigger a pause script when the pin goes Inactive -> Active and another script when it goes from Active -> Inactive. IE something like:

; Configure Enclosure Door Switch To Pause M950 J1 C"io4.in" M581 P1 T2 S1 ; Call trigger2.g when io4.in goes from inactive to active M581 P1 T3 S0 ; Call trigger3.g when io4.in goes from active to inactive

I haven't actually tried that in anger but if the firmware works as the documentation implies, then it should. It would be simple enough to test by simply creating those triggers with a single echo command in each.

@chernogorsky
this is the commands to run my micro mill in the simplest form
begin-
M453 (CNC mode. Can be set from command line then doesnt need to be included it in programs)
T0 ; set tool .1mm ENGRAVER
G21 ; set units to millimeters
G90 ; use absolute coordinates
(add spindle on command or whatever else. Or not)

some code using I and J-
(My PP (post processor) uses a 0 after G or M codes. RRF doesn't seem to mind. G1, G0, M3 is common these days)

M30 typically ends a cnc program but RRF uses the command to erase a file from the SD card. The program can just end as above. You can add additional commands to turn off spindle or disable motors if you want.
If I recall RRF can also use R instead of I,J,K which I assume you mean as "flavor". Most CNC controls need % as first and last character. RRF does not.
I think you can roll any begining or end "required" code in to a macro or copy and paste then just use Fusion or whatever for movement commands only. If you want to use cutter comp or offsets add as needed. Most modern PP use "cancel" commands and set WCS at the beginning and end but it can be greatly simplified like above and the machine will work fine. Its only as complicated as you make it

@novastorm Last I remember the OpenBuilds Interface was not open source so there's no clean way to convert it to use RRF.

Can you post your config.g and the results of M122?

What commands is it running when you are having issues?

@sinned6915 if you're accounting for stock skew use G68 https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#g68-coordinate-rotation

@owend
I can see where you referred to M2, but I picked it up from the "GCodes not implemented which are not planned for implementation" section from here, when reviewing the documentation in response to @dc42's request above. I hadn't misunderstood what you'd written, I was just suggesting what could be supported.

However, as far as I can see M0 and M1 have a specific function dependent on what the machine is doing at the time and could be entered manually in the MDI to carry out that function, and seems particularly appropriate for 3D printers. The M2 command, on the other hand, when appended at the end of a programmed toolpath file, has the specific purpose of identifying the end of that program - as it does for plasma cutting (your reference). If M2 is implemented - as it's described in the document referenced above - then I think it would be for the benefit for CNC users.

Whatever the way forward, the Vectric post-processor I use for my machine doesn't include any M codes, other than to turn the spindle off:

...but maybe that's a failing of the PP?
