Postprocessor development form for G-code G41/G42

Post by dahlberg » Mon Nov 01, 2021 10:42 am

I have recived an answer from Oleg at "Pumotix" and it seems I will be ok with G41/G42 but just to be on the safe side he asked me for some additional information about the postprocessor. I belive you have to be a developer of this software to be able to answer some of the parameters so if someone who is please could take a look at it :) I have filled in what I thought was right :idea: :?

So at the end of the week 8), never mind the form. Though it led me on a "wild goose chase" that actually tought me something :oops: . (I guess, thanks Oleg). Read the manual, at least twice or why not four times before asking questions. I have no need for the fourth or fifth axis, and neither these or coolant or toolchanges are a part of this software (yet). And actually, I belive I can manage that anyway. The chosen postprocessor didn't work out that well when trying it out in the Pumotix simulator but that wasn't a big deal either. As soon as I just set all cuts "on the lines" in the drawing everything seems to be working perfectly. Maybe another postprocessor will work better regarding toolradius compensation, I guess I will figure it out some day. In the Pumotix manual regading G41/G42-codes there where a few "why errors descriptions" that I guess I had overstepped so...
