Hi Charlie,
I'm just realizing that I can actually set jog/rapid speed via gcode and override whatever might be in the firmware. Is there some way to specify that the "rapid speed" from the settings gets exported? It looks like the way Snapmaker's Luban does it is just by including a "G0 Z80.00 F[speed]" at the top, though I'm not sure if Z80.00 is relevant.
Thanks again!
Chris
Hi Chris,
You can make a custom post that includes a feed command in its RapidBlock definition. This will result in outputting whatever feed rate is used by the operation the rapid is occurring for, or you can just hard-code a feed rate directly into your custom post.
So if you want the rapid to use the operation's feed rate, then change the RapidBlock definition to:
RapidBlock "[CNC_SEQUENCE][CNC_GCODE][CNC_X][CNC_Y][CNC_Z][CNC_FEED][EndOfBlock]"
Or, if you want to hard-code a feed rate, you can just put it directly in the definition.
RapidBlock "[CNC_SEQUENCE][CNC_GCODE][CNC_X][CNC_Y][CNC_Z]F100[EndOfBlock]"
If you're already using a custom post, you can just make these changes to that post. If you are using an existing PixelCNC post then be sure to make these changes to a copy to make the changes to, and use the copy, otherwise your changes will be overwritten by an automatic update.
Let me know how it goes!
