Quick question Peter van der Walt ​ Claudio Prezzi ​ Todd Fleming ​ getting

Quick question +Peter van der Walt@cprezzi@Todd_Fleming ​ getting ready to test out the TinyG support on my OX router for LW4… Is there any G or M codes I should be hesitant to use? Such as G2 or G3 codes

Also is M6 a valid code for doing a tool change if needed ? And are tool calls supported such as T1, T2 ect… Supported?

I did the #RTFM might be something to add in once we have confirmation @Carl_Fisher

I’m not familiar with what TinyG supports. Are you testing mill or laser ops?

Mill

My question was does laserweb support those call outs… Trying to migrate my Ox away from Chilipeppr. Didn’t know if circular interpolation would mess with LW or pausing mid code for a tool change

Dont want an accidental spindle startup while changing out my tools…

The sim ignores G2/3 and all M codes but changes color based on T. I suspect the sender passes all gcode through as is, but haven’t looked. I don’t believe the sender knows to pause for tool changes.

I already have a post processor set up for my cad software to strip out g2/g3 code and intrept them as G1 I really appreciate your help @Todd_Fleming ​ I will fiddle around see what I can come upbwith… Might post some improvement suggestions on Git with my findings

The lw.comm-server just passes the gcode to the controller. There is just a stripping of spaces to shorten the command (for transfer speed). If spaces are needed in between the command, then this could create a problem.
On smoothie for example, the fire command needs a space, so we have a special case for that.

@Alex_Krause hey Alex, how’s has Laserweb been doing with your TinyG? I haven’t had time the last few months to work on my CNC but if laserweb is working with TinyG I would love to try it.

+Peter van der Walt Hi Peter, your absolutely right! As soon as I can make some time I’ll give it another try. I tried it with Laserweb Original and it kept freezing up the board. I know MAJOR changes have been made since then. Thanks for all your work Peter, I’m excited to build my XY 80watt laser cutter with the new Smoothieboard. If my OX will work with TinyG and Laserweb 4 that would be an added bonus, I’ll give it a try :+1:t4:

+Peter van der Walt awesome! You got it Peter I’ll do my part and report back! Thanks for bringing it up.
