Plasmac Post Processors

The attached  Custom G-code Filter  should render the G-code suitable for QtPlasmaC.

Copy custom_filter.py to the configuration directory for the plasma table.

Some examples of typical PeddiNest G-code files are attached.

You do need to be aware that all the motion in these files is incremental.

Hi  Phill
Question just to be sure I understand correctly:
in the custom_pre_parse(data)  funtion "data" is a single row or a array of rows.
then if it is a single row (as i think) the return data is the statement that will substitute the actual row?

Edit..
The code you sent me is working now I added pre and post amble.
thanks

Correct:

• data is a single line of G-code from the loading file.
• the return may be None to delete the line, a single line of G-code, or multiple lines of G-code separated by a newline.

The code you sent me is working now I added pre and post amble.

Great, glad it works. You may need to ensure that it does not affect code written by another PP.

hi i got a problem with your post . i got no M3 commaand for starting the plasma do you have a clue what i am doing wrong

What post are you referring to and what exactly are you currently doing?
Maybe attach your g-code file here as well.

 

Hi,
Curious to know if the script for the post processor in qtplasmac worked for anyone?
Currently I am using a different post processor and it runs through a filter on qtplasmac which works ok. But some files it has issues with and I can't use the option to start at a certain line.

So I thought I would try and run this cff to see if it was a better option, using 2015 hypertherm nestmaster.

I used the cff for pronest on this thread. Screenshot and gcode attached.
