G71

Could you share?

I tried to convince myself that I could use CAM or ngcgui, but in the end I just did the work. I did the G71 I had wished for, with pockets and fully compensated all the time. I also threw in fillet radii between all types of moves. At first I thought getting the most efficient retract between pockets would be arduous, but I found a brilliant way to do pockets easily, inside, outside or backwards. I'd share, at a fee.

The Python remap feature is great, thanks Michael.

I do hope that we will get G71 as an actual G-code at some point. I was hoping Ben was going to do it, but he seems to have found other things to do.
It's on my list. Along with multiple spindles, but I have a bunch of bugfixes that are higher priority, and only just got a working dev machine back.

Tapered propeller axle. Some vibrations, maybe should have used the tailstock. There will be another finishing cut and threads after cool down.

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.

There is another version here:

github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/andypugh/g71type2remap

The files you need are here:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/andypu...configs/sim/axis/g71

Copy the Python folder to your config directory, then make the changes in [PYTHON] and [RS274NGC] from that INI file in your own INI file.

Documentation for the cycles is here:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/andypu...ughing-cycle-turning

It was my intention to code the cycles in C and add them "properly" but I have not got round to it.
