Is the SD card on the board safe to remove without powering down the machine? For instance, when I’m constantly having to go back and fix some dumb error I made in the program.

I do it with no problem, but it’s probably safer to power off. I usually hit restart the board after inserting it, but I have a bunch of ESP32s and am not really concerned with having to replace it. I don’t know what the official line is, but when in doubt, power it down before doing anything that touches the board.

I keep getting two errors and an alarm when I try to run a 10 thou surfacing program. The first error is M84 S0 bad gcode. If I understand this correctly, this is a command to disable the steppers to move the tool head to the origin point. What should I do with this? I imagine I can’t just delete the line and send it on its way. But I also don’t think disabling the z steppers is a good idea as it’ll throw off tram and all that, right?
The second error it gives me just says 20 (Unsupported gcode command). Not even a clue what that means, but my guess is it’s referring back to the M84 thing?
The alarm I get says Alarm 17. Again, no clue what that means.

I think you have the wrong post processor. That one is probably for the Marlin-based boards.

I’m interested in setting up the work space offsets, specifically so I can go directly to the 0,0 on my spoil board, or some other position I set (one of these days I want to add a bolt on rotary 4th axis to use for engraving stuff) like a tool change position. As I understand it, this is still in development, so I’m just adding my vote to the pile for it.

FluidNC can handle workspaces, but the Fusion post-processor can’t. There’s some info about it in that thread
