Are you still interested in helping to develop a solution for this? A While ago I tried to develop a website I was going to call, "Open Source Everything". I wanted to be able to track open source projects and sort them by categories as well as obstacles that needed to be overcome. I would like to make it easier for others to jump into open source development and avoid overlap in projects. I thiby RobDickson - General
Thank you so much. I figured it out. I was making a really stupid mistake. After days of building over and over again I realised I was running the same original install every time. In the end I was able to build the latest git and thanks to Traumflug and others geda/pcb exports perfectly usable gcode for a Reprap mill.by RobDickson - CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping
hmm... I built pcb from git. I tried to apply the patches but all of them said 'patch does not apply'. I still don't see an advanced option but it might just be easyer for me to modify my firmware, the pcb exported gcode for drilling is good as you said.by RobDickson - CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping
Thanks for your reply. I now see the drill file gEDA/PCB exports looks useable. But I didn't notice an advanced G-code flag. That must not be included in the stable release. I'll try and compile it from git and then figure out how to apply thoughs patches. Thanks again.by RobDickson - CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping
I think if I insert this code into the FiveD_GCode_Interpreter: process_g_code.pde line 414. My machine will drill. I will test it later and let anybody know if they are interested. // drill cycle; -ve coordinate means zero the axis case 81: //move to position fast sp = where_i_am;by RobDickson - CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping
Hi, I built a Repstrap and am running it with a gen6 controller. I managed to mill out a gen 7 circuit board. I used gEDA to export a Gerber file, then Visolate to export some Gcode. I'm just looking for advice on automating the drilling. I tried to use pcb2gcode to create Gcode from the drill file but the result is a string of G81 drill commands. I don't think the Gen6 firmware recognizes thisby RobDickson - CNC Routers, Mills, and Hybrid RepRapping
