Hi all. I am running into an issue when I open an nc file posted from Inventor HSM. The path is not positioned relative to the grey box. Everything else works perfectly except when the cutting path has completed. The router wants to go to the 0,0,0 of the open build app which is nowhere near the actual machine coordinates. So I guess my question is, how do I sync the coordinates from Inventor HSM with those of the Openbuilds app. Hope this makes sense, I think I just confused myself. Thanks
Grey box = machine coordinates: Are you sure you - homed first - then set Stock Origin (Zeroed or Probed)
Hi Peter I failed to mention, I have no limit switches. I have watched that video 100000000 times, and that guy says he will discuss the no limit switch setup, but he just never gets there. Thanks for the reply BTW.
Thanks Peter I had a quick breeze through and it all sounds logical...I hope. I will go through on the weekend. Thanks a ton...really
Side note, I spoke to the peeps I bought the cnc from and they reckon I have to buy a new box cause the one I bought is not compatible...R12k plus. Woulda been nice if they had mentioned that when I was spending the money when I had it. Maybe when I'm making my millions, I will get an upgrade.
make sure you are using a GRBL compatible postprocessor with Inventor HSM since OBControl is tuned for GRBL friendly Gcode.
