Do any of these small CNCs support G02 and G03 for circular arcs?
I was recently looking at G-code output from Solvespace and figure we need to update it to produce those codes rather than tiny linear segments. But will the home-built CNCs even support that?
- Robotbeat 5y agoI think Marlin supports it.
- vvoid 5y agoLinuxCNC will (http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/gcode/g-code.html#gcode:g2-g3 http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/gcode/g-code.html#gcode:g2...) - but your CAM may not. Edit: did not realize I was replying to solvespace, bring on the arcs!
- phkahler 5y ago>> Edit: did not realize I was replying to solvespace, bring on the arcs! There's a guy working on a g-code template right now. It should substitute the g-code into the template on export so it's machine ready. I'd like to get into all that, but I'm still working on construction tools and stuff.
- opencl 5y agoMost of the small hobbyist machines I've seen (including this one) use Grbl, and Grbl does support G02/G03.
- dekhn 5y agogrbl supports arcs and it represents the most common Gcode firmware on these "home-builts"
