Fanuc G71 G72 equivalent

Hi,

first of all I want to thank andypugh for his fantastic work on G71/G72 and all other things.

I have similar problems:

J works correct
L only accepts integer (no decimal like 0.2) but even with integer it has no effect
I and K have no effect

G71 works with G7 and G8 correct but G72 only works in G8 and makes errors with G7(diameter mode).

What is the meaning of argument Q which andy used in his examples in the G71/G72 line? I cant notice any effect?

I use 2.7.14 and I am very happy with the G71/G72 remap but would like to use G72 in G7(diameter mode).

Has anybody an idea why G72 does not work in G7?

Thanks for your attention

Ralf

Are you using the built-in G71 or the Python remap?

(At this point I would very much recommend the built-in version)

I am using the remap with 2.7.14.

Because of the new realtime kernel I want to stay on the old version till I purchase a mesa card.

Thanks

Ralf

You can update to 2.7.14 on your existing OS and kernel, unless you are using something very old indeed.

Hi,

I have already 2.7.14 and dont want to upgrade to 2.9.

Thanks
Ralf
