When i run g code that should make a 5 inch square carving i get one about 1/4 inch square. it is like the execution of the code is done in metric. when i manually jog machine it is moving the amount correctly. is there a setting somewhere?
Choose the "Openbuilds grbl inches" post processor. Or the "grbl inches" post processor. The gcode should be right then.
It shouldn't make a difference with the Vectric post processors based on the grbl ones - they correctly convert units and put the right g-code (G20/G21) in the header. So if you design in inches and use a grbl (mm) post processor the g-code would be in mm and come out the right size. Alex.
Rather use the correct post processor so it is always correct and you don't have to remember to fix it for every project
