I have gotten several alarms lately for a variety of things that I don't usually get. One of them I think has something to do with the file names I am generating to run throug CONTROl. I am post processing through fusion with the CONTROL post processor like I always do. However, when I go to run job I get this: Alarm: G-code words consist of a letter and a value letter was not found. I am not using any numbers or special characters in the file name. I'm not sure what is causing it. Any idea? Thanks!
I know it took me a while, but I have been quite busy. I am posting one of the files that was causing the alarm issue. I haven't had the alarm lately with any other files, but when I went back to this one to try, I get the alarm again. I am just trying to figure what caused it. Here is the file and a screen shot of the error: Thanks
this is the problem Code: ((Drawing name : AtlantaBraves/Georgia georgia pocket 1/4 fix) (screw up v1)) (Program Name : scrw up) too many brackets! take the brackets out of your settings in the post options (yes, the post is supposed to be filtering for that, I will crosscheck later tonight)
Ok? I will have to find where this is. How did I add a bracket? It hasn't happened before or after? As far as I know, I didn't manually add any brackets unless it was an accident. Thanks!
You are correct, you did not add any brackets. Congratulations! you found a real bug (-: The bug caused extra brackets when long comments got wrapped to short lines. The new release of the post, V1.0.32 fixes this bug. Release V1.0.32 · OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-Fusion360-Postprocessor
I'm not sure that is something to be proud of (just my luck), but I do appreciate the help and the fix!!! Thanks!!! I'm still confused though. What long comments?
your 'name/number' is long, and is inserted into the Gcvode as a comment to help you keep track of what generated your gcode. Comments in the Gcode shoudl never be longer than 80 characters so the post wraps long comments to separate lines. the fields arrowed below in the NCprogram options, similarly in the postoptions if you dont use NCprograms
