Hi Fern

The biggest issue I see is the forced truetype_tracer dependency, Mint 18 does not have it available. So to get around that I downloaded a 32 bit deb of tt-t and installed that then tried nacm. Didn't work as ncam said it still needed tt-t. So I then removed tt-t again and installed it from source. That didn't work either.

In the end I downloaded the Ubuntu Trusty deb from you and forced the install with dpkg --force-all -i (installs without missing dependencies) and it worked. I then reinstalled tt-t and so far all is well. I have followed the usual directions to get ncam running embedded in gmoccapy. As as side note I probably will never use Truetype tracing as I use Vectric Aspire and Fusion 360 for my CAM work so the requirement to install it alongside ncam, for me, was un unnecessary distraction.

Now all I have to do is work out how to get ncam to start up with a blank screen, my copy of gmoccapy complains the it can't be in one of the modes until I get it out of estop, either MDI or AUTO. Can't remember that bit as I have pulled the computer apart to replace the case and power supply.

Hope that helps in some way.

Cheers

You can not. For every project, you have to define some parameters and this is what the default template does. Set the parameters at the values you need then save it. You can not use a circle only because it will result in an error that some parameters are not defined.

If you try to save a blank template, it will simply erase the it but next time it will copy the default template back. A template is a quick way to start a project.

$ ncam -i inifile -t -c mill

Using
$ ncam -i inifile -t -c mill
will setup your inifile to use ncam embeded

Use -t only once

Hi,
Im trying to get this to work with sim/axis_mm.ini from linuxcnc master.
I ran /home/emc/dev/NativeCAM/ncam.py -i axis_mm.ini to change the ini file.
when starting, this happens:
