    Hi all,
    Lately I've been having problems with running files through Interface created by Cambam 1.0 on my CBeam XL.
    I guess it's the postprocessor, strange thing is I haven't changed anything and before it worked.
    Attached is the latest file that doesn't work (error 20).
    Any help really appreciated

    Piet

    GRBL does not support the G64 word, tell the post processor to exclude that from the Gcode output.

    did CAMBAM do an update?

    Thanks David

    I got it working by removing G64, G40 and T0=M6
    So the G40 and T0=M6 can stay?

    Cheers
    Piet

    all the things in ( brackets ) are comments in Gcode, they have no effect in the controller
    only the G64 is a problem for GRBL
    G40 is accepted but ignored IIRC

    does CAMBAM have a post for GRBL? this one says it is 'default', there shodl be one specifically for GRBL controllers.

    it does, but my mind never made that connection :(
    I looked for the "error 20" but never found a decent explanation
    it's working now, i'll start ripping some wood and alu

    thanks for quick respons!
