NEW BUILD! Chinese CNC 1313 replacing mach3

[Ken Rychlik]

Try to insert this just before the file extension

POST_NAME = " 1313 Centroid (inch) (*.cnc)"

If you want it to include some of this info, you can add these lines

" [91]FILENAME: [TP_FILENAME][93]"
" [91][TIME], [DATE][93]"
" "
" [91]MATERIAL size: [XLENGTH][34] x [YLENGTH][34] x [ZLENGTH][34][93]"
" [91]Z Zero Position: [Z_ORIGIN][93]"
" "
" [91]TOOL LIST[93]"
" "
" [91][TOOLS_USED][93]"

Worked that time! Thanks!

thanks! the only thing i changed from your file is the location of the rear park function. (ive been trying to figure out how to do that, so thank you. )

You can edit the park.mac macro from within the wizard and set the location to where ever you want. This way you don't have to edit the PP and define a location. You then just call the park.mac macro in the PP at the end. It's much easier to edit the location in the wizard than try to edit the PP and have to worry about editing it in two locations if you change it.

I cannot remember if the default router VCP comes with a PARK button as I don't use the default skins. My custom router skin includes a PARK button to quickly move the gantry out of the way to load sheet goods. Again, you define the location for the VCP Park button in the wizard. If you just edit your PP then the PARK button on the VCP could have a different location or behavior unless you change it to be the same. Now you have two different places to edit if you need to ever change it. Just keep this in mind.

There are several ways to get to the same result as you are learning.

I use Park for parking, so I have only small way travel to home the machine next day.

On the end of a PP I like to have G28 or G30 Px, because I can teachin these positions in CNC12 without writing a single line, so I can set them up easy peasy for the shortest travel to change material for the next part.

Yup, I have a separate VCP button to place that gantry close to machine 0,0 at the end of the day for quick homing on the next startup. It's really helpful on the 5x12 router.
