Enhancements and bugfixes continue on the Flyfisher604 F360 post processor.
A new beta is now available, release v1.beta2. This release supersedes the v1.beta1 and includes 2 enhancement and 1 bug fix.
Release History
----- Github tag: v1.beta2 -----
- SafeZ for conversion of G1s to G0s can now be set to reference the Heights defined in a tool’s operation. Valid references are Feed, Retract, and Clearance heights. Consult the documentation for defining the field correctly. Now defaults to Retract with a default of 15 if Retract height is not defined.
- Comment level Debug now shows all F360 parameters.
- Grbl laser fix: M3/M4 Laser On speed parameter was incorrectly scaled from 0 to 255, now scaled 0 to 1000. All other firmware remains 0 to 255.
----- Github tag: v1.beta1 -----
- Select the firmware dialect as a property
- Coolant bug resolved so coolant logic is no longer inverted
- Coolant properties are unified to control either Marlin and Grbl firmware
- Warnings if tool’s requested coolant is not configured on a channel
- Single file reduces the complexity of installation
- Installs without error via F360 standard Manage->Post Library install interface
- Properties enabling features are list before feature control properties
- Properties are listed in GCode for easy reference (more to come)
- Updated documentation
----- Github tag: v1 -----
- G0 Rapid move at the beginning of each cut is restored - resolves tool drag when Z is not retracted before horizontal travel occurs (F360 Hobby issue)
- Recovers G0 Rapids that occur above a safe height or that are vertical only (F360 Hobby issue)
- Feedrates can be scaled to ensure mpcnc Z axis cut rate is not exceeded. Fusion 360 kinematics do not respect an axes feedrate if different from the machine’s generalized feedrate.
Warnings:
- The properties for v1.beta1 have been reorganized and in cases renamed, please review carefully and consult the documentation.
- Defaults have been selected to generally disable features so they may be selectively enabled. Review properties carefully and enable what is needed. Feedrate scaling and GO Rapid recovery require properties to be enabled and are not enabled by default.
- This code is considered beta and the user must review all GCode produced to ensure it is appropriate for their needs.
Documentation for v1.beta2 may be found here.
