could someone help me to correct this error ,error 36 keeps coming up all the time ,the program before this error came up it was working fine Thank You geoff
error 36 is Code: 36 There are unused, leftover G-code words that aren't used by any command in the block. My guess is that something got deleted by mistake
G1 F1000 X121 Y73 Z-0.1 L600 I don't know of any command that GRBL supports that uses an L word except the coordinates setting G10 L20 sequence. So is that supposed to be a G10 command or is it an incorrect G1 command? Please tell us what generated this Gcode? what happened after that?
Hi the error comes up as soon as you go to start the program and that is as far as you can go I have deleted the program and reloaded it to no avail .
Problem is inside your gcode. Not a problem with the Programs Where did you get the gcode? I see cam.openbuilds.com hiding in the back of the screenshot but that does not output L commands. So where does the L600 come from?
This comes up in controls will not let me get passed the initial touch off ? Any help would be appreciated
P1000 at the end of the line does not belong in a G1 command. This is not Grbl compatible Gcode. Use a Grbl compatible cam/post.
Click on the gcode editor tab and delete it from the code listed. However, you'll probably have more issues since its not grbl compatible gcode. As Peter said, find a grbl compatible post processor for whatever software you are using for CAM
Okay thanks, but I am using all openbuilds stuff. Blackbox and the online CAM. Am I missing something??? Openbuilds CAM. Instead of "transfer code to Openbuilds" I should save the code and use a different code processor? I got it going. So, in your OG post you had P1000 and I had L1000. In OB CAM, As you probably know, the P=plasma the L=laser and S=spindle speed. Below that setting there's a power/speed scale and that contains the number that follows our L/P1000. Adjust those properly and your good! I set mine to S (Spindle) and 0 (Speed). So, the Power/Scale is looking for an input of RPM from whatever tool you are using or perhaps laser intensity? IDK. But it makes sense or at least 2 cents.
Okay, so I guess by messing around with that, I started the error 36 AND by messing with it some more, I fixed it!
No! Grbl uses S for everything. Don't change those backend configs please - not relative to you (only for people using other controllers/firmwares - defaults are of course all set up for our stuff) Read here Grbl v1.1 Laser Mode · gnea/grbl Wiki to understand Grbl's laser mode Then after that, read the Entire Grbl Wiki - its a goldmine
