Sure, but I would get rid of the LPT-port requirement and could use any computer, not only this specific one (if broken one day...).

Which Mesa card would be your go-to in 2025?

And is there a card combining outputs (for the stepper drivers) as well as inputs for linear magnetic encoders or would this be a combination of two cards?

N27 G91 G0 Z-23.
N28 G1 Z-12. F300

When i Look at this lines, there is incremental rapid from Z25 to Z2 and feed move incremental to -10
The moves with G3 are all incremental G91, so a pitch of 1, with lead in and out exactly to Z0
Line 44 switch back to abs G90

Sounds like it did not get an Arc OK signal.  

The criteria is different depending what Mode you are using:

Hi .
I'm trying to output an operation with thread milling but the gcode output for z position is static.

The Z axis stays at 1 mm.
I did discover if you open the machine editor of youre machine and go to Working Style => General and you put Software Transform to YES , the gcode output gives the corect z output:

The problem is there is no more subroutines, the o call does not exist anymore so is M98 , M99.
The post processor is from here: github.com/G-S-E/SolidCAM-postprocessor-for-LinuxCNC
Thanks

Thats what i got so far 

I tried it again without changing anything and the plasmacutter started without firing at startup. Then I loaded the materal and tried to make a cut through 10mm mild steel. The torch fired, but the machine didn't move. And the torch went on and of a few times.
Why does that happen ? And why doesn't the machine move ?

more fun
i think im almost ready to order the atc parts.

 
 
 
 
 

i think i found the correct solution for this problem in the pico examples
