Machine not executing G02 instruction was created by scsmith1451
Hi all;

Below is the first few lines of gcode for a circular pocket that I would like to cut on my home built CNC. The move to the first X/Y coordinate works correctly as does the plunge on the Z axis.  However, the machine stalls at this point and will not execute the G02 instruction. I'm guessing that I missed something in my preamble, but haven't a clue what it could be.  If someone can enlighten me I would greatly appreciate it.


G90 G20 G17
M3 S22000
G04 P6.0
F30

G0 Z0.1

G0 X0.7812 Y0
G0 Z-0.25
G02 I-0.7812 J0

Kind Regards,

I don't know what the expected behavior is if you have no X/Y coordinates in your command. IIRC if you want a full circle, you can use the same coordinates as your starting point. Arguably better practice is to split the move up into two half circles.

You can try one of the following to see if it helps:

G02 X0.7812 Y0 I-0.7812 J0

or

G02 X-0.7812 Y0 I-0.7812 J0
G02 X0.7812 Y0 I0.7812 J0

Feed moves (G1,G3,G3) will only execute if the spindle-at speed signal is true. So check 'spindle.0.at-speed'.
