Re: Re: makelangelo 2 line inaccuracy
Also I suspect the supplied samples may have a config line at the top that resets the bobbin diameters, which would explain why your settings aren’t being used.
Normally the process is:
– set up your machine
– load (convert) an image
– draw image
What is happening is this:
– set up your machine
– load (convert) an image
* image is turned into lines
* lines are saved to gcode
* start of gcode file includes machine dimensions, bobbin size, motor invert commands
– draw image
* even if you are connected to machine, commands from file are sent to robot which might be different from your current settings
Why aren’t the settings saved on the robot (in EEPROM or something)? Well… I use one robot and test it on many different sizes of boards. EEPROM is like a really old hard drive – write to it too many times and it stops working. So instead of wearing out the EEPROM, I store the values in the file. Maybe I’m the only person who needs this feature?
What I will do is remove the sample gcode from the next update. It’s causing problems and I don’t use it anyhow.
Until you fix your directory permissions you will not be able to use the full power of this battlesta- er, robot. I will add a preferences option so you can set where you want the file to be saved, that might make your life easier.
