I've been automating a small Mill.
I keep running into problems and people here have helped - thank you.
Mesa 7i95t et al.
I've got to the point where I can click the home icons on my Gmoccapy screen and it homes all three axes.
Then I move the head onto the middle of the bed with the on screen jog buttons and load a piece of program
that is basically just a set to G54 mode and do a G0 X20 rapid flip 20mm positive on the model hence the bed should move left.
Once I have that it's just relearning g code time.
But nothing happens.
I add a growing number of lines to set things up.
Still nothing. It gets to that line, highlights it and just sits there probably waiting for something or feeding at 0 so it will never end.
I've spent most of the day trying new ideas.
This is where I've got to. What do I try next? What do I take out? What obvious thing have I missed?
What do I have to do to make it move?
Is it my code? My configuration? Is it offended at my accent? Does it just hate me? (it feels a bit like that)
Code:
G54 G17 G21 G90 G94 M5 M9
G92 X0 Y0 Z0
F50.
S200.
G0 X20
M2
G1 changed back to G0, I was trying G1 as a test and it didn't help
