G71

Hello,

i want to implement G71 function in linuxcnc.
I found this version:
github.com/nkp216/G71


and a very interesting for me.
But in readme.txt tells that first step is to do the "remapping".
What this mean, and can someone please explain how and what to do to "remap" G71 in linuxcnc?
I never do this and dont know where to start.
On github site of project, i found simulated config, but this does`t work. Stops with error when i open *.dxf file.

Thanks. Attila.

maybe i can help you

I’m experienced and enabled parametric programming Fanuc Macro B. Used LinuxCNC Axis interface and enabled its parametric programming. Experienced writing and executable C programming. Goal to write and execute own longitude and non-monotonic rough cycle (G71(type 2)). It’s known to me that rough turning an angle with parametric programming syntax while loop requires trigonometry and has been executable. Programming that geometry is fixed and if other size angle (degrees) it requires another syntax while loop with trigonometry calculations. Avoiding that is use of a G71 universal, longitudinal and rough profiling. I’m in process of writing own source code, C programming language and might be a plug-in or register with Mach4 if not using Lua program language and modules. Therefore, instance if an outer diameter longitudinal tool (VNMG (30 deg)) path, a 45 degree thread relief (trough) to shoulder and face retract is finish profile and coordinates. Does G71 function and rough cycle source code read ahead of the finish profile coordinates that a trough, conditional evaluation, if true and refer to a trigonometric function? Of course not traveling straight past and missing longitudinal rough cutting angular geometry (trough). I could probably experiment with Lua and might have to but I’m more fluent with C programming now. I’d probably eventually program some source code registers or modules with LinuxCNC Axis too.

Type 1 G71 is similar execution as parametric programming a loop. Both monotonic. I could probably readily write a G71 type 1. It'd be understood if a G71 has conditional evaluation type 1 or 2 execution or one type does both. I'll reference your program and algorithm as much is detectable. I'm just trying to get idea about implementing some blocks, if enable or not as a program reads its executable or function of a non-monotonic tool path. My program probably could have some similarity how systematic language's are, variably different too an independent and applied practice.

@Sm,

What do you mean by this :
if enable or not as a program reads its executable or function of a non-monotonic tool path

Type 1 is c code, type 2 is python code, following the information here.

My program probably could have some similarity how systematic language's are,
Yes.

variably different too an independent and applied practice
Maybe code in qt. In this you can do C++, C, Python, Java, etc.

Good point. I don't have access to to G41 and G42 functions nor seen their script with Mach4. I thought that some LinuxCNC G code script might be viewable. I get such idea of tool compensation, evaluate condition and enable with source code. I've calculated tool compensation with radius and angular geometry and made Fanuc inserts with G40 enabled. I thought just make an executable G71 file without G41 or G42. G41 or G42 would already be enabled previous blocks and before reading the G71 file. Aware that the G71 function could require some fixed syntax (G41 & G42) for it to be an operable a program.
