Autoleveler Plugin.

[charliem]

Hello cahit,

First let me say thanks for the plugin. I am running the latest of uccnc that I can find which is 1.2049. I copies version 3.017 and and few versions prior to this.
1) first thing is I cant see it in the plugin config window. the first version of the plugin is there.

2) what probe input should I be using?

Thanks

Charlie

hi Charlie,

v3.017 of autoleveler is for testting. it is not final version.
it can not be used with v1.2049 of uccnc. only later than v1.2110.

Thanks for the reply. What version would you suggest?

Hi cahit,

OK so I down graded to 1.0046. I now see the plugin in the configuration window. I am doing something wrong because when I start probing as soon as the bit hits the copper board I get a message "Probe sensor active operation aborted". Do I have the M331 file in the wrong place? I have a copy in default macros and alsi I use 2017 screen set so I put a copy in the profile macro folder. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

Regards
Charlie

I've been trying out the autoleveler for the first time, got most of it figured out but stuck on one snag.

UCCNC v1.2111
Autoleveler 1.0048
UC100 Demo mode

Under 'digitize file' I've been able to use 'none' (generating both leveling and G code file in one), and 'create' (created a leveling file), but can't get 'use' to work. I'm assuming 'use' is for applying a leveling file created with 'create' and then afterwards applying to the G code file I want to run. Using 'create' runs the probe point routine in UCCNC based on the G code file and then prompts to save the leveling file, I save it in the same location as the G code file I want to run, with no extension on the file name. When I try to run 'use' I try to open the leveling file I just created (using the ellipsis, not 'File Open') but all I get is 'wrong file' and can't go any further. I've tried renaming the leveling file with various extensions (.txt, etc.) but nothing works. What do I need to do to open the leveling file?

Okay I figured out how to get around that problem by copy and pasting the entire file path in the Autoleveler interface and that works.

Trying to figure out another problem now. Once I apply the 'use' file to my g code file and send to UCCNC it appears to all work just fine, I see all the #50 variables being applied line by line, but when I run the program it feeds to my required depth (0.005") and never changes according to the digitize file, just always stays at 0.005". I did get it to work once with varying depths on running but I have no idea how I managed that. I have tried 2 different versions of UCCNC (1.2049 and test v.1.2111) and 2 or 3 different versions of the Autoleveler to no avail, as well as all the different settings I could. Is there a known version of both that will work correctly, or is there something else that I have overlooked?

Hello people,

I have adjusted the Autoleveler that belongs to UCCNC v1.2111 a bit so that I use less GCode,
another formula for calculating the surface. feel free to test. it is version 1.0049

and the new version 3 is on his way

have a nice day

Thanks cahit. I will try it and let you know how it works.

hello cahit,

I got your plugin to work. Thanks for all the effort you put in to this. The only thing is my machine uses imperial units(inches). I was unable to set the travel altitude to a fraction of a inch. such as .5 . Only whole units . Thanks again.
