That sounds like the update script 2.8 pre uses to update the older ini. For joint axis branch. Andy wrote it.

Creates an old folder for backup purposes.

I think you hit it exactly. I had the exact problem myself when I was running Master and attempted to get NativeCam going. NativeCam worked stand alone in terminal BUT when I tried embedded Master modified my INI file making the changes to axis's and adding joints. Andys routine in Master is what did it. This caused NativeCam to not run.

When I switched over to 2.7.8 release all was cured and NativeCam worked fine. Master automatically modifying my INI file is what caused the problem. 2.7.8 does not automatically run Andys axis/joint routine so NativeCam works nicely.
Fern will have to make changes to cure this issue, Master will eventually become the release version.

This is fun Isn't it, today's error:
I setup linuxcnc fresh install yet again, this time I pulled the git lcnc, at the same time as the NativeCam.
Followed the instructions then went to stepconf wizard and couldn't config a machine with this error.

Cheers Tommylight that put me back on track.

It was actually because I was using a root terminal when I pulled and installed and not using sudo when should have but same meat different gravy init?
I did net install of Stretch and lxde-core this time just to play then changed kernel and then cloned the gits.

Bad practice I know but I get fed up with su and sudo I often work as root despite all the warnings.

hi fernand.

it is posible ther is a littel bug with the engraphing?

when i want mill a word the first character is ok and the milling tool goes to z minus with G1 .
when lcnc starts the second character the tool goes to Z minus with G0 .

not so good for the lifetime of the tool.

pehaps its my mistake ?

nice greedings and thank you.

Hi Florian,

I do not see error in ttt file but I will check when at home.
Can you post ncam.ngc that has that error ?

I did not find a bug in the generated file but I found a few minor issues I will fix, like raising the mill at the end of a letter and plunging at vertical feed instead of normal.

hi fernand.

yes i think this is the problem that the tool goes to Z minus with the horizontal feed speed and not with the vertical.

here is my ncam.ngc


thanks a lot

P.s.: the new milling subroutines are perfekt now!
