At the moment the sensor is not connected in any way because it did not work for me under e-stop, I had to have at least a minimum current in the wire at all times, even when stationary.
The high signal from the sensor activates the relay so I can give any signal.
The machine is supposed to stop, because often when it breaks the wire sticks to the material and pulls it.
 Apart from the movement of the wire frames, the machine does not make any other movements.
I wanted to associate this control with the M3 code because my G-code generator allows quick passes past the material without heating the wire.

Does it not support the .ngc extension? .ngc is the extension used by subroutines.

Thanks again for your help Rodw, It is nice to know that there are people like you that know this stuff and can answer the difficult questions.

Great you are under way! We don't usually add a root user and use sudo to access anything as root
To install software with apt, you would log in as root and skip typing sudo.
Point 10 of my document outlines how to add your user to the sudoers group

The LinuxCNC was not pre-loaded, with Debian 13/ trixie new install.

sudo apt update
and
sudo apt install linuxcnc-uspace linuxcnc-uspace-dev

Were not allowed in any of the 4 terminal options under system tools. The sudo command fails because when it asked for my password, it would not accept any input. The cursor did not move and no “******” to hide input were created.

[sudo] password for “username”:



The return or response after typing in the correct password anyway was…

“username” is not in the sudoers file,

Anybody know why this is happening?

Solution found! This worked for me...

“When you installed Debian, did you set a root password? If so, sudo might not be installed. If it’s a fresh install and you’re not too sure of what you’re doing, I’d do a clean install but this time supplying no root password when asked. It’ll ask for a sudo username and password and disable root login. “

I've been using CamBam forever, but am just now graduating from 2.5D to 3D and it's going really well.

The forum, on the other hand, is a bit of an issue.  I can't get past the robot tester, which keeps showing me pictures which I dutifully click on, then tells me that the letters I entered aren't correct.

To my question.  I have a very large series of fine passes on my 3D profile, and it works great - very nicely cuts the piece but every time it makes a pass it cuts left to right, then jumps out, goes all the way back to the left, plunges and makes the next cut. 

Is there a way to tell it to make a LR pass, then the next pass RL, etc. so I can save time?

Thank you,
 

I have a few stepper motor CNC routers running LCNC and just got my hands on a Republic-Lagun VBM-1000 with a wonky Anilam 5000M controller that may need replacing if I'm unable to cost effectively fix it. As this is my first foray into servos, I'm looking for advice. The mill is driven by brushed DC servos. The electrical cabinet is all Anilam, including the servo amplifiers. I'm driving the steppers on my CNC routers with Mesa 7i96's and would like to stay with Mesa, unless you all have other ideas. Please lay them on me!

You commits caused somewhat of an issue. Do you think I sat on my hands and did SFA ?

I don't care about your workflow, it's not my issue. My issue was ensuring the integrity of the images.
I don't care about you trying to setup a remote desktop, that was something you decided to do. That software was outside the scope of the software needed to run a cnc machine. I don't know why people ignore using ssh.

Good afternoon.
Thank you! Everything worked out for me.
I had to try different encoding options.

I am planning  the exact same install for a 4th axis on a Bridgeport VX2T that I am re-controlling. 
Did you find or test to find the signals for the servo amp?  Any help would be appreciated.
