G68 on G18 plane

[abaeck]

Hello,

I'm using UCCNC turn.
It would be really neat if I could use G68 on G18.
I often use my cnc lathe for quick manual jobs, and it would be a quick way to chamfer using MPG.

Alternatively, is there a way I can use AddLinearMoveRel on multiple axes within a plugin?

We have this planned in the development queqe as well as some other lathe related function.

I don't understand your question, please describe.

Within a custom plugin I've written for a MPG.

I have

Code: Select all

UC.AddLinearMoveRel(0, inc / 2, Math.Abs(eX), 50, e.X > 0); //For X Axis
UC.AddLinearMoveRel(2, inc, Math.Abs(eZ), 50, e.Z > 0); //For Z Axis

Where inc is defined as one of 0.1, 0.01, 0.001.
e.X and e.Z are relative encoder counts from MPGs.

This works great for normal moves.

But I'd like to set an angle in a field and use the X axis MPG to jog on the angle (similar to a compound slide on a manual lathe).
This is what I've tried.

Code: Select all

double rad = angle * (Math.PI / 180);
double dX = inc * Math.Sin(rad) * Convert.ToDouble(e.X);
double dZ = inc * Math.Cos(rad) * Convert.ToDouble(e.X);

UC.AddLinearMoveRel(0, dX / 2, Math.Abs(eX), 50, e.X > 0);
UC.AddLinearMoveRel(2, dZ, Math.Abs(eX), 50, e.X > 0);

When I call two AddLinearMoveRel the motion is not smooth.
