NativeCAM is Features renamed

FernV wrote: Hi George

So far it looks good (except I should have setup.py print a message when nothing needed to be cleared)

Continue now with the next step : sudo python setup.py

THE RESULT OF THIS IS CRUCIAL AND IT IS WHERE A PROBLEM MIGHT BE.
By the way, what is your Linux distribution and version ?

Fern

Here are the results, seem to agree with your posting

bridgeport@Bridgeport:~$ cd NativeCAM
bridgeport@Bridgeport:~/NativeCAM$ sudo python setup.py
[sudo] password for bridgeport:
wait, processing...
created link to ncam.py in /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gladevcp

"from ncam import NCam" added to /usr/share/pyshared/gladevcp/hal_pythonplugin.py

created link to ncam.py in /usr/share/pyshared/gladevcp

glade-widget-class named NCam added to /usr/share/glade3/catalogs/hal_python.xml

glade-widget-class-ref named NCam added to /usr/share/glade3/catalogs/hal_python.xml

/usr/share/glade3/catalogs/hal_python.xml saved
bridgeport@Bridgeport:~/NativeCAM$

On to the next step in your list, post to follow soon.

Hi Fern,

Well, the next step of your instructions resulted in a error yet success also.

Here is the terminal window

bridgeport@Bridgeport:~/NativeCAM$
bridgeport@Bridgeport:~/NativeCAM$ linuxcnc configs/sim/axis/ncam_demo/mill.ini
LINUXCNC - 2.8.0-pre1-2761-g2b678aa
Machine configuration directory is '/home/bridgeport/NativeCAM/configs/sim/axis/ncam_demo'
Machine configuration file is 'mill.ini'
Starting LinuxCNC...
Found file(REL): ./core_sim.hal
./core_sim.hal:28: Pin 'axis.0.motor-pos-cmd' does not exist
Shutting down and cleaning up LinuxCNC...
LinuxCNC terminated with an error. You can find more information in the log:
/home/bridgeport/linuxcnc_debug.txt
and
/home/bridgeport/linuxcnc_print.txt
as well as in the output of the shell command 'dmesg' and in the terminal
bridgeport@Bridgeport:~/NativeCAM$




BUT WAIT ! for fun, I tried launching linuxcnc from the gui using the launcher and picking the demo config. IT LAUNCHED !
I am attaching 2 screenshots, one of the launcher window showing the config I used and the other of the axis window with NativeCAM as it launched without error.

TIme now to wait for your comments. It appears to me that NativeCAM did not find the config in the place designated by your command line instruction.

hi
i have installed the new version of nCAM and it run properly, i'm using the plasma setup, however when i crete any shape i do not see any lead in it

here are the screens

is anything mising on the set up?


Thanks..

To George,

It is strange that you have ncam_demo in your launcher ??? I think it had to be putted there in your lcnc distribution which is a pre-release as : 'LINUXCNC - 2.8.0-pre1-2761-g2b678aa' and I believe that is why you have the
'./core_sim.hal:28: Pin 'axis.0.motor-pos-cmd' does not exist' error.
In a terminal type : 'locate ncam.py' to see if there are other copies on your pc

Anyway, you can now familiarize yourself by loading examples and test them.

Do not forget that you have to select the right order

1. Workpiece
2. Tool change
3. Tasks for the selected tool

In 'Cutting params', you have to select a 'cut width' which is defined as a tool
