Hello, we have a machine with a rotary axis, in some corners the cutter does not reach the corner completely and makes a rapid movement on the rotary axis. I tried to reduce the error with G64 but lowering the P value makes it worse.

Machine is running analog servos, old yellow cap fanuc.

The error is consistent int the same place.
Attached a pic.

Thanks
 

Things I noticed in stable version .


Would it be possible to add a confirmation dialog box prompting the user before initiating another homing cycle .

When I run the program and want to pause it midway through the G-code execution to clean the machine from chips, it doesn't allow me to manually move the axis.
I believe the program should allow pausing, during which I should be able to manually move or return the axis. When I choose to resume the program, the machine should automatically return to the position it was in before the pause and continue execution from that point.
Also, if I stop the spindle and start it again, the speed is much lower than before.

When you're in the G-code editor, it's possible to start the program execution, but if you exit the editor, the program stops .

1. download Ubuntu 10.04 with LinuxCNC from here
www.linuxcnc.org/iso/ubuntu-10.04-linuxcnc3-i386.iso
2. write it to USB drive, google howto with Rufus
3. boot the PC from that USB
4. click on "try Ubuntu"
5. open a file folder, on the left find the internal HDD and click on it, on the right find /home/whatever_user_name_was_on_it/EMC2/configs
6. copy that config folder to another USB drive or a phone or external HDD
7. open that configs folder on the internal HDD, open the config inside, right click on the file with .ini extension, choose "open with" and type emc2, press enter
8. does the machine run?
If all is OK, remove the other USB or phone or external HDD, and proceed to install Ubuntu.
After restarting use the other USB or phone or external HDD and copy the configs folder where it was, start it as in point 7, or use the CNC menu and click on "create desktop shortcut" after you choose your config in the config picker.

Alright, it seems to running ok now and the tuning worked exactly how you described.
FF1 is just right at 1 and the p ended up about 5x what it was before.
Thank you

Try another network cable, kinked or nicked or stepped on cables can cause issues. Also some cheap cables will cause a lot of headaches, sometimes even not so cheap ones as i had a brand new never used cable that would absolutely not connect to Mesa. I did cut it into many tiny pieces Over 30 of the same brand worked fine.

Pinned for easy finding.
Thank you.
