I have set the default value of FeedOverRide to 100 for future users so it wont
halt mysteriously on g1's in future. :)

ta, it's a new program that works very well, a few bugs don't worry me if I find them I will post about them.

it cuts to the end of the cut it just does not go back to Zero, rewind and turn off spindle. I am going to be finishing the wiring and tiding thing's up.

then I will run some code and vid the not finishing the G code bug

I will do a cut vid next week, I still have to do the circuit for 3.3 to 5 that GlennD did. I might machine that out if I can work out how to do that in fusion, I will have to start on the pp for that.

Just to close this thread, the G540 is found to work fine with Auggie, any problems turned out
to be software issues with slower computers. The Network Delay option in setup being set to 0
on slow systems fixes this problem, the G540 itself is not and was not an issue. If one wishes
to drive a G540, the easiest way is the USB->DB25 convertor I mentioned today in the
Auggie thread (PoKeys57-DB) which will allow an instant conversion of a G540 Mach3 driven machine
to Auggie and Mach3/4 under USB at 115Khz.

Thx

yes you are correct art, the G540 is a good to go with Auggie if you let it set its self and read the instructions. do you wont me to do a write up at the end on how it is all connected, I have been doing my Charity work so have not been back at it yet

Anytime Dan, more info in better than less. :)

  One last note though, we tested a PokeysDB25 this week, and Auggie failed to run it
and crashed, we did find the problem though and next version will run fine.

  Thx to YaNvrNo ( db25 serial #7 or so.. lol ), for his db25 testing.

Hi art is M30 working running some tests now as I type

Post by **ArtF** » Wed Apr 06, 2016 12:20 pm

Dan:

Should be as of last version.  Ill probably release a new version tomorrow that fixes the imaging
output as well as several other stability bugs. It also fixes the calling order of all M calls

I grab the new version and test again

DanL · Post by **DanL** » Wed Apr 06, 2016 1:16 pm

M30 still fails.

Auggie is very stable being on the net at the same time as running the machine it's a no no but is a good test, spindle control is within 220 rpm

Dan:

  Thx, tomorrows release should fix it then. As to Net, probably dependent on machine.

I burned images today while reading EMail and transferring images from my phone on USB.

Make sure you try "Network Delay = 0" in the planner config if you experience any stuttering.

Dan:

  Current version is now online, Ive been cutting, ( well, burning..) for a couple
days with no M30 issues at all, so let me know if and how it fails..

Thx , good luck
