CNC Fusion 360 Postprocessor
-
@Adamfilip : The post is running very nicely for me for the last few month on various jobs (never had an unexpected behavior out of the post). I recently also put options in that can be selected from within the Fusion post menu for automatic or manual tool change, tool length measurement and re-homing between operations.
Just for completeness here again the link to the github repository:
https://github.com/mwinterm/fusion_post/tree/master/DuetCNC -
I have used this since posting it here, and it is working just fine for me. The issues I found were all user/operator error. If you get any issues, you are welcome to post about it and we can trouble shoot it.
To prevent unexpected behaviour, is the main reason why I explain exactly what I programmed it to do.
Just something to state again, this post does not do arcs (G2 and G3). While the latest firmware (at time of writing), allows one to configure the segments used for these arcs, I simply believe a computer is a lot faster and more precise in those calculations, and since the Duet can read extremely fast from the SD card, more G1 segments does not really affect its speed or quality negatively.

hi guys
I'm also develop Fusion 360 post processor. I had been designed for MPCNC and milling from SD card.
Initially it was for Marlin 2.0 only, later I had added Grbl 1.1.
So it's multi target now.
And now I have added RepRap Firrmware (based on Marlin target).
It supports:
manual spindle control or use M3/M5
manual tool changing + measuring the tool with G28 Z
laser mode with using M106/M107 or M3/M5 or M42
controlling of 2 channels of coolant
particular parts of gcode could be replaced by external files -
so if anyone interesting it is here

@Guffy : nice work, thanks for sharing. Looks very clean, better than the Mach3 template I worked off from. I will eventually try to change to your PP....

hi guys
a step forward in the post processor.
i have decided to split the code of pp to 4 files
DIYCNC_Common.js – common code
DIYCNC_Grbl11.cps – code and properties specific to grbl
DIYCNC_Marlin20.cps – code and properties specific to marlin 20
DIYCNC_RepRapFW.cps – code and properties specific to reprap firmware
so now you will see 3 post processors in the Fusion drop down box instead of selecting target firmware in the properties.
as result there is much less messing of properties belong to different firmwares in the properties control -
I know this is an old thread, but just wanted to say THANKS!!! for the post processor. I just upgraded this machine from a mach3 controller and the first post processor I found scared the crap out of me. This ones behaves very nicely, thanks again.
Has anyone tried it with v-carve?

@Jacotheron if you save your macros to turn on and off the coolant and whatever as
/sys/M6.getc they will be executed as GCode commands. -
@oliof Awesome! Thanks again for the great work. I'm not a great coder so this saved me a ton of headache.

@dwak you may still want to peruse the documentation on metacommands so you get an idea how to enable your own codes with parameters
