.. on the Interface. Sorry if these were mentioned already, didn't look real hard. 1. Can we eliminate the "gco" extension on the USB file names? that would give us 3 more characters for showing the file name. Also, Can it show at least the last 2 characters in lone file names, that way numbered files show? For example, "FileName_01.gcode" and "FileName_02.gcode" becomes "FileN~01" and "FileN~02" (don't remember the exact character count) It's hard to pick the right file when they look like this: FileN~0gco FileN~0gco In some cases I've had to put the number at the beginning of the file name. 2. Can the "Goto 0" be changed to Lift up to maybe 50mm, then move to X0,Y0 before dropping to Z0? I've had a couple near collisions from it dropping to +4 first then moving to X0,Y0. Just makes more sense to clear everything before moving X Y. 3. (wishful thinking here) Probably no way to get a artificial "preview" of the file before hitting GO. Maybe just basic outline of the shape.
Usb chip only gives 8.3 format. Hiding the extension doesnt give you remainder See 8.3 filename 50mm z will crash on some machines. Can't keep everyone happy. Jog near, then test final xyz zero using button. Its more for confirming zero, than moving from far away Sorry no. Check your work in cam, simulation, etc before copying to usb
Bummer. I'll restructure my naming convention. I see what your saying but it's so handy though It would just be a further confirmation I selected the correct file, but I'll change how I name my files.
