QTPlasmaC, first cut ever. What to do after "initial setup"?

Thanks Snowgoer540. I'll recheck Z axis scale. Not in front of the machine now.

As for G53/G54, I was just trying to understand the error, but it did not make any sense, cos I have tested lots of values for safe-height and probe-height and the error remains.

I had Following errors when I was trying max_vel and max_accel, but I got over it.

You cannot miss A following error, cos everything freezes. They are not happening now.

I have tested Z scale and it is ok. Commanded to move 30mm and it really moved 30mm.All My drivers are at 800 microsteps (motors are 200 steps/rev).

About safe height, I can't set it to zero. Only from 1 to 74.or 75. Although I have not tried to edit the .prefs file directly.

No matter what value I put on safe height, I got the same error.

So many days lost on this, kind of frustrating...

net Zjoint-pos-fb => plasmac.axis-z-position

Thanks Phill, I had to merge a working AXIS config with a Stepconf generated QTPlasmaC config and I don't remember of messing with the line you mentioned. If you say it's wrong, I'll get it fixed!

About SPINDLES, I tried with standard, but LCNC complained about several lines I wouldn't know how to fix, so I just put 1 SPINDLE so that it would run. Sorry about that, will try to "keep it simple (stupid me)".

I am really interested about how to make a sim config based on a real config, but that would be another topic. I am not always besides de machine and a sim would help test things.

Great news!

First, my apologies to Phill, as I don't know from where that "Zjoint-pos-fb" line came from (I've just tested and it's not from StepConf). This sort of thing happens when I don't know what I'm doing

Second, eliminating that line and adding "plasmac:axis-position" line, made it work!  I can run wrench gcode fine. Will study the config to try to understand what happens there.

About SPINDLES config, i am getting an error, if it's something simple, please advise, or I will compare the conf with a fresh new from stepconf.

All working now,
You are amazing, Thank you all.
I would pay you a free beer anytime
