Having error codes from ugs. Like no other even worse with plasma g code. Like to know if there is a alternative from this ugs code error on every gcode I create from fusion.
Even the millright cnc at the end of the assembly through codes.
Any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I'll let someone from MillRight CNC confirm the answer regarding Mach3/4 support, but it's been asked before and the answer is no, and the FAQ page here: millrightcnc.com/faq/ states: "Note that Mach 3 will not interface with our controllers." As for the errors with UGS, can I suggest that you try a couple things: 1) Make sure you have coolant set to "Disabled" in your toolpaths. With my particular setup, Flood coolant doesn't throw an error in UGS but Air does. Since I have neither, I just have it set to Disabled. 2) Try removing the "T1 M6" (or similar) tool change command near the top of the generated gcode. I know in older versions of UGS this would cause an error. Since I got into the habit of always removing it from the gcode, I don't know if it's still an issue with the newest UGS or not but could be worth a shot. Also, might be helpful to report what version of UGS you are using. I started out with some frankly ancient version and the experience was awful - a lot of errors and probing didn't work. I was like you and really wanted to use Mach4. But I finally got my hands on a more recent build of UGS and the difference was night and day. |

Are you using the right post processor?
What software and post processor are you using?

Thanks guys I'll try the coolant and air ect. Disabled, " turned them of it the gcode too l path I set up in fusion. I'll try it from the grbl. Side of things. Also fyi derek,post processor I am using is from fusion I have the grbl. Identified but not the exact machine in the fusion post. Couldn't find carve king or any of your designs! Shouldn't matter any way righ? Also am I wrong to think there has to be a way to use my fusion gcode plasma tool path I generated on grbl. Firmware. F.Y.I I DO GET THE MACHINE TO RUN ON A PLASMA CUT BUT THROWS CODE AFTER CODE DURING THE OPERATION. just gotta hit resume a bunch lol  Seriously though would love to solve this!! Thanks fellas/gals.... |

UGS/Grbl is seeing a code it doesn't like. Does it say what code is making it error and pause? For instance, I add M6 to my "regex remover" in UGS options so it ignores and tool chance command and doesn't pause to warn me about it.

Hey derek I really wanted to get my issues straight, sorry late responce.....
So at firts i might have thought you were correct on the post processor might be rong.
For instance now I have more info.
In fusion 360 I post process the model,
Set up cutting
Post configuration I choose hypertherm in the vendor option and only the hypertherm jet option is available.
Possibly still a problem.
I do get the machine to run the program however the codes it throws is
error 20 unsupported gcod
Error 28 missing required value
That's it only errors/road blocks to success.
Can you help me to understan where and when to change the m6 line and possibly put this to rest.
Thanks man much love in your help on the other threads

If you're using a post processor from hypertherm you'll never run the machine correctly.
You just need to research the grbl M codes and use one of those to give you a trigger signal.
Unfortunately I really can't help with customizations.

FYI: other GRBL senders will handle M codes and are more compatible. I know that cncjs will handle M6 tool change code.
Some post processors also have options to enable or disable these commands. That's the case for Fusion 360.
