How do I force CAM to set gcode on every line

[qharley]

I am using the following option

// always write G-code, even if it is the same as on the previous line:
this.alwaysWriteGCode = true;

but it seem to disregard this setting. Some lines following a G1 command only has coordinates, and even that is acceptable in most CNC machines, mine require a Gcode on every line.

How do I fix this?

Please attach the complete configuration you are currently using (.js file), thanks.

Attached

Here is a gcode file created by it:

[andrew]

Please add the following lines to your configuration:

ruijie.prototype.gotModeChange = function(m) {
    return true;
};

[qharley]

Does not work yet...

Code: Select all

G21
G92 X0 Y0
G0 F20000
G1 S0.8
G1 F800
G00 Y-10
M3
G4 P200
G01 Y-60
X270
Y-10
X0
M5
G00 Y48
M3

Current workaround is to manually add the G0 and G1 into the lines.

What else can I try?

[andrew]

I cannot reproduce this. I'm using your exact configuration from above with the additional three lines I've posted.

Common mistakes are:
- QCAD/CAM not restarted after changing configuration
- Looking at the wrong output data (old version of a file, wrong file)

Thank you. Working perfectly after actually saving the 3 extra lines into the .js file...

Go figure.

Ah, yes - another classical one This happens to everyone. Glad it works now!
