Unable to run Gcodes from Estlcam in Web control

dc42

In your M92 command you specified 200 steps/mm @ x16 microstepping. Is that correct?
If you send M92 without parameters, does it report that the Z steps/mm is 200?
If you use the jog buttons to jog Z up 5mm, does it rise the correct amount?

Changed it to 400 steps/mm (T8 screw)

Steps/mm: X: 100.000, Y: 100.000, Z: 400.000, U: 100.000, V: 100.000, E: 420.000:420.000

If you use the jog buttons to jog Z up 5mm, does it rise the correct amount?

Yes, I measured the correct amount with my digital caliper. The difference is only 0,01mm.

@3DRikat Please try to use a work piece coordinate system. If you generated G-code with a Z-axis zero position at work piece upper surface, Z-axis will move outside machine limits when the tool dives into the material. Same can happen if your cad design touches X- or Y Axis zero in Estlcam and you add cutter radius compensation. Toolpath will be outside machine limits.

I used following G-code: G10 L2 P2 X5 Y5 Z25 to select 2nd coordinate system and activated it with G55.

@radiomodell I tryed it but it was just like before. After the outer square is done the Z axis rises and I have to stop it. There's the error message "outside machine limits".

I really don't know why the Z axis rises so high.

Neither do I!

What happens if you send the commands in that file one at a time from the command line?

I got it working now

There was a endstop set for the z axis

; Endstops
M574 X1 S1 C0
M574 Y1 S1 C1
M574 Z2 S1 C2
M574 U1 S1 C4
M574 V1 S1 C3

So I changed it to

M574 X1 S1 C0
M574 Y1 S1 C1
M574 Z0
M574 U1 S1 C4
M574 V1 S1 C3

and now it's working. Thank you all for your help.
