I'm having a noob issue with controlling my cnc once native cam is intergrated. I can control my cnc from my original configuration file but when I try with native cam I cannot.

I'm thinking I have to copy over the ini. File from native cam to my original ini.file?

Here is the readme of Ncam;

github.com/FernV/NativeCAM

go into terminal and issue this command from your home folder:
git clone https://github.com/FernV/NativeCAM ncam

When complete you will have a new folder named ncam in your home directory. Enter the directory and follow the read me for imbedded ncam into axis.

In your ini you have to edit your display section and also your paths sections. The relative bits are in asterisks in the sim .ini I copied and pasted here.

Thanks cncnoob. I will try again tonight. Im still a little confused on how to modify the subroutine path. So you just copy the files from the native cam ini. To your my-mill ini. Created by linux cnc?

Maybe seeing your modified ini. File would help me to better understand.

Here is my ini for axis. Look for my path's and how they are modified from yours. Be sure to follow the readme I linked. The display section is where you really need for ncam to embed into axis.

You must edit your ini file to reflect these changes. The ini that your machine uses to load linuxcnc.

Sounds like you don't have the paths correct for where ncam is located.

Send me an email and I'll respond with my number. I'll walk you through it.
