Code:
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gladevcp/hal_pythonplugin.py", line 1, in <module> from ncam import NCam ImportError: No module named ncam

Your problem is here. Python does not have the ncam module installed.
There is probably a setup procedure that has not been followed.

I use very often end mills for drilling opperations, as it allows saving tool changes.

How are you using it then ? Are you using drilling modes G73, 81, 82 or 83 ?
One option is using a Drill Change and not activate, this will not ask for a tool change but set the feed, speed and mode but you have to use the drilling subroutines


Hallo Fern,

mostly just as a normal move in Z, but sometimes also as G73 or G81.
I see you pont of view, but IMHO it is very unusual to use two types of "tool change". Isn't it possible to have only one tool change, select in "use for" between
  • Roughing and Finishing
  • Roughing
  • Finishing
  • Drilling

If the user selects Drilling, the additional menu parts gets sensitive, so he then can enter the drilling cycle and the diameter etc.
Feed and speed are the same, independently from the tool.

Norbert

P.S. I updated the gmoccapy.ini file to allow also homing all axis at once, like in the normal sim config.
Also the sim_spindle.hal.
To try, just place the file gmoccapy_NativeCAM.ini and the spindle_sim.hal in the ncam_demo folder and start the ini.
You will have the working area limits shown and homing all button will work, also the simulated spindle does react.

if you are in metric and you enter a user defined drill diameter, lets say 4.2 mm, it will be interpretet as inch value.

Corrected and on github


Hallo Fern,

I can not confirm that, it is still broken here.

I just pulled the newest github, merged it with my local copy and did
Code:
sudo python setup.py c sudo python setup
  • I started the my gmoccapy_NativeCAM config
  • homed all axes
  • added raw material
  • added drill change
  • selected tool 22
  • entered "select drill size" user defined 4,2

The hole is then 4,2 inch, not mm.
I checked in MDI with
Code:
(DEBUG, metric = #<_metric>)
and got
Code:
metric = 1.00000

I think the error is here (NativeCAM/configs/sim/gmoccapy/ncam_demo/ncam/scripts/ncam.ngc):
Code:
o<drillchng_001_metric> if [#<_metric> EQ 1] #<drill_diameter> = [#<drill_diameter> * 25.4] o<drillchng_001_metric> endif
Are you able to reproduce that?

Looks like you saved your current work 'before' the change to drill-change.cfg

To correct :
select Utilisites->Auto-refresh to uncheck
Select Drill Change in the treeview
Add a new Drill Change
Set your parameters to the same as the first one
Delete the old Drill Change
Press on the Build button again
It will set Auto-refresh checkbox automatically

Do not forget to save your current work or you will have to redo it again next time

After you executed

sudo python setup.py c

have you also executed it without 'c' ?

If you redo both commands, I would like to see the output

Hallo Fern,

here are the outputs:
Code:

I followed your instructions point by point, but the behavior does not change.
It is also the same if I open a new project and add there the raw material, drill change and single drill.
If I enter user defined, it is a inch value, so I am not able to make a base bore for M5 with must be 4,2 mm.

very strange, as my ncam.ngc has changed!
and if i try now to make new project, and want to add raw material nothing happen.
I am not able to add any feature any more. If I close linuxcnc and restart it, I get my old work and are able to edit every part.

Have you tried to reduce the window with in preferences of NativeCAM ?
It is well explained in the basic you tube videos.

Hi newbynobi. Yes, I tried to reduce the Ncam windows in the preferences display slider unsuccessfully; furthermore the "+" key to maximize the screen does not work :(

You still have the old drill-change.cfg in your ncam_demo/ncam/cfg/mill dir
Delete it and make sure the one in NativeCAM/cfg/mill matches the one on github then restart lcnc
