I am having problems running software that I have created in CamBam. As soon as the progam reaches the first G02 or G03 I get an alarm and the program stops. I get an Error 33 message. This problem started when I upgraded to Windows 10 and loaded up version 1.0.369. Everything ran good under windows 7 and the earlier versions. I can run the programs created with CamBam on my other machine which is running UCCNC with no errors at all. I check all of my programs using NCPlot, without getting any error messages. Here is one of my programs to check out. As soon as get to this line (G2X6.306Y6.504I0.263J0.315), I get an Error 33 message. Any help I can get with this problem will be greatly appreciated.
Small arcs may be your problem (GRBL error 33) - what is your $12 setting? Alex. PS - I couldn't find this line (G2X6.306Y6.504I0.263J0.315) in the file you posted.
Alex You are right! It is the small arcs that are causing the problem. I found the solution late last night. I am using the post prosessor in CamBam for GRBL. I changed the setting for "Arc Output" from "normal" to "convert to lines". Now all the G02 and G03 are converted to lines instead od arcs. I read your past post on Error 33 and figured out the problem. $12 is set to .002 . Thanks for your interest.
I know you have got around the problem now, but the original issue might have been that you are generating G code with only 3 decimal places for an inch program (G20). See here: GRBL Error 33: Arc Coordinates vs. Decimal Places Seems that inch programs need a minimum of 4 decimal places and metric ones need a minimum of 3 decimal places to avoid this error with GRBL.
Again, my bad! I changed the program to 4 decimal places, reset the post processer and checked for errors. None! I think I got it. Again, thanks for your help
Hi I'm also having issues with a gear in cambam I cannot for the life of me find that arc convert setting. Can you post a screen shot? Thanks!
