Have you tried G98, as Keith suggested?

For example:

Code: Select all

G1 G98 F5 X1 Z1

... or, if you are going to use G1 in the default G99 mode, do you have the spindle running already, and have you given it a suitable per-revolution feedrate?

For example:

Code: Select all

M3 S1200
G1 G99 F0.01 X1 Z-2

I'll try that. My buddy has a bunch of old code from an AHA that he really just wants to transfer over and have work..

Here is an example of the code he wants to run

I suggest to install current 5.1 software with the updates for a better Network connection on some hardware.

I haven't updated the ether drivers, like Gary suggested, yet.

His Ahha programs will not run without some changes.

G90 is not appropriate there. All X and Z coordinates are absolute by default.

"F8" looks like an inches-per-minute feedrate. To use that, you need a G98 code.

Still getting errors, but it seems to be working....kind of..
