Hi, Thank you for this great plugin for Eagle :-) It works perfect in combination with my StepCraft CNC mill for pcb projects. I have recently installed Eagle+pcbgcode on a new machine. Everything

Well it looks like the problem is something to do with M6 tool change codes !! Had a look around and found this info about the M6 command not work in all So i downloaded the ( grbl.pp ) file and put

Hi Thanks for that mate will give it a go tomorrow Howard

Howard Here is what you need in your drill file, as far as I understand. You will have to do the formatting (tabs & spaces, as written in the instructions at the top of the sample

Hi These are the only drill bits i have all are mm: .3 .4 .5 .6 .7 .8 .9 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8 1.9 2.0 3.05 but when i try to make a drill file it tells me its not correct, and its doing

Howard, You seem to be missing a couple of ranges: There is nothing between 2.01mm and 2.4mm and nothing between 2.51mm and 3mm You need to cover these ranges in some manner. HTH

Yeah The it is You skipped a range between 0.900mm and 1.900mm: T04 0.900mm 0.801mm 0.900mm 1.5in T05 2.000mm 1.900mm 2.000mm 1.5in But good job overall! Cheers MC

Heres the revised file

HI Thanks john for that !! Howard

Howard, Not having your revised file, I can only go on the one submitted. Looking at the ranges for your called out drill size, there is none ifyou just corrected the original file T04 0.900mm

Hi Well thats good to know i got something right !! I have amended the file as you have suggested but now when i run pcbgcode in eagle it gives me a few popups saying the same thing rack

Thanks Art, you 'da man! I noticed T04 has spaces instead of a tab between the drill_size and the minimum. pcb-gcode needs a single tab between the columns. -- John

Howard, To me, you layout appears proper and correct. However, Instead of making the min and max size exactly the same, I woulduse overlapping ranges. I beleive your thinking that these are the drill

Hi I think i have made a drill rack file ??? would anyone look at it to see if it is done the right way i use notepad++ and set the tab space to 12 as it says in the file Thanks Howard

Yes, look in the "pcbgcode.pdf" file that is in your docsfolder from when you unzipped the download and look for 4.3 Drill Rack Files . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . .

Hi So I need to edit the file and put in some M6 tool change institutions to tell it to return to safe so drill change can be done there are 3 different sizes 0.6000 0.9000 3.0000 Am new to all this

Howard, I opened your attached etch file and all appears ok to me. It basicallycontains G0 and G1 commands and there are no M6 (tool changecommands). I will take a wild stab at this point and those M6

Hi it seems Error 20 – STATUS_GCODE_UNSUPPORTED_COMMAND Unsupported or invalid g-code command found in block. I have added the .nc file from pcbgcode 3.6.24 maybe someone can find what the prob

Hi I was just about to message to say that I found that after a long search and yes it works very well Howard
