NativeCAM is Features renamed

I'm trying the OD turning routine, I've eliminated the flood commands from it and now I get: bad 'y' character near line 445
I've inspected the ngc file with kate editor, and I see nothing suspect, and no 'y' character near that line.
On a forum someone was saying that that error might occur because somewhere in the file, there is an instruction to move on the Y axis that does not exist on the lathe. I'm not quite familiar with gcode syntax yet so I wasn't able to spot any potential error.


I have also attached the ncam file if someone can give an opinion.
Thanks!

As you see it is running the compiled version
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gladevcp/ncam.pyc

Try this : delete it with 'sudo rm /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gladevcp/ncam.pyc'
Close this terminal and reopen a new one WITHOUT sudo privileges in
/home/ef/linuxcnc/configs/NativeCAM/
Try NativeCAM stand-alone and embedded

HI

The message says 'near line 445'

I can not read line numbers on my mobile but if it is near 'O<lathe-multipass>' the error comes from there

Read that subroutine carefully and all subroutines it calls specially the 'O<goto>' calls

Hi,

With some distros, python create a bytecode file ncam.pyc and execute NativeCAM from that file
instead of the link created to ncam.py
ncam sets SYS_DIR as the directory from the executed file,

SYS_DIR = '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gladevcp' when using ncam.pyc
and
SYS_DIR = '/home/fernand/Developpement/git/ncam' when using the link to ncam.py

When using '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gladevcp' it can not find the sub-directories needed

ncam now tries to find the realpath to ncam.py link instead of the executed file

Since that problem does not happen on my pc which distro is Debian Wheezy 32,
I can not test if the issue is solved that way and can only rely on your feed back.

The update also gives the possibility to rename a feature in the master tree view with context menu
and any comments added will be visible in ncam.ngc

Best regards
Fern

Really like this for quick one-off pieces on my retrofitted mill, but one hopefully quick question:

I have only a small 15" monitor, with limited screen resolution - To have NativeCAM running at the side of Axis isn't viable - is it possible to run it in its own Axis Tab? I've tried the usual methods, but it just doesn't seem to want to integrate this way

Hi,

I just pushed initial setup for plasma cutting. Information is in the README.md file

I do not have a plasma system but I used my mill to check if it was working as expected.
After the tip is in position it issues a 'M3 S1000' command then start moving. When the figure is complete,
M5 is sent then the tip is repositionned and the next figure is cut.

If you are a plasma system user I would be happy if you want to test it and give feedback to continue development.

I included a 'plasma test' and 'plasma demo' files
I do not want to publish a video until someone tells me it is OK

Regards
Fern
