A short description about this software.
The pictures are screen dumps. You can see what’s possible.
Setup Machine -> setup |
| The smc800 and the smc1500 driverboard has only 1 line in. I connect the ref. switches and a stop button together. ( not serial , but parallel ) When u are using a ULN2803 Driverboard you must use pin 10 or 11 or 12 or 13 or 14 on a 25 pin connector for your stopbutton and ref switches. |
| With this option you can determine the value of the stop button and ref switch |
| |
| This is the Manual window. Here you can preset the axis.
Example. when you move the right side of your cutter against to the left side of your material . Then you want that this is ( when your cutter diam 10mm is ) X-5 That’s possible with preset. |
| |
| As you can see on the manual window , there is an button “Mat Surface”.
With this option it’s possible to correct the surface angle ( see below ) |
| Move your cutter to one of the points and press on “Set”. Repeat that for each point. When you start engrave , the cutter will be everywhere engrave on the same depth. |
| | | | On the main screen you see at the leftside this menu.
The numbers 1 to 5 are material sizes. You can program on properties - > material sizes. This option will be used for PCB engraving.
Button Cen Mat . = When you have draw your G-code program on your screen , then the program knows the max size in X and Y dir. and with this button you can place it in the middle of your material.
Button Fit scr = zoom to max mat size on the screen
Button Cancel = Cancel the “Cen mat” and “Fit scr” buttons.
Button 1:1 = Set Zoom to 1
The two buttons behind this text ( my mistake ;-) Shows the end points and Direction Arrows of each line.
Buttons 2D and 3D = Drawing on screen in 2D or 3D
Editor Button = Edit the actual file. |
|
| Properties menu |
| | | | With this menu you can manipulate the G-code file.
Example : When you Stretch X-ax to -1 , the gcode file will be mirrored. Speed XY is the engraving speed in material. |
|
| Tools menu |
| | | | Here are some handy tools. When you draw the g-code file on the screen, the program knows the max and min size of the g-code file.
Now you can move the zero point to the upper left or somewhere else. The other optionshere you can find in the menu on the main screen. |
|
| Programs menu |
| The program Main program is very handy when you want to make the same product 20 times in 1 plate of material. See here below. With the program “Batch Program ” you can place several g-code files behind each other. You can also say that the file must go in 5 times to the right delpth . “Text To Gcode Website” is a link to my Text to Gcode generater |
