ParticipantNo, I just put a new one up. I think I almost have everything working. I had used in a motor travel setting for z axis that was recomended in the wiki for shapeoko but was for a threaded Z instead of a belt Z. That was making it take gross movements that was slamming the z axis top and bottom. I think I am about ready to try and calibrate the travel and check level and square. Maybe someday I will actually cut something.
ParticipantGetting closer. I have figured out how to jog with chillyPepper. When I use the jog the z axis seems function as expected. When I enter into the command like a G0Z10 or any other number. Most of the time slams the z axis to the top. And then I have to reset TinyG. Or it slams to the bottom and I have to reset TinyG. Not sure if it is safe to continue? What do you think?
ParticipantHello,
I watched a tutorial on how to use chilipeppr and I am able to sent the gone to the shapeoko. It still seems like there is something wrong with my z axis. when it moves it moves bam to the top limit. And then Bam to the bottom limit. I would still like to know the command that would move the z axis 10 mm.
ParticipantI could also send a file with Coolterm.
ParticipantWhat is the command to move z 10 mm? I have set up chillipepper. It connects to my Pi json server. I can send $$ command and ge feed back from the tinyG. When I pull down the play sample run. Nothing happens. The image in the browser starts to move but nothing happens on the shapeoko. I did get a message about a tool change but I could not find any control for that.
ParticipantI have read the section on homing and limits. I was very happy to to get the machine to home. I also turned off limits. The test will complete. However it slams the z axis top and bottom several times. It also makes a lot of growing noises allthow it does not seem to be making the belt slip. I also adjusted a lot of other settings suggested on the shapeoko page at TinyG. I will put the new settings in the dropbox folder.
Is there a way to save and then reload settings into the tinyG or do you have to change or reset by hand.
I was wondering if you have a hello world Gcode file for tiny G?
Thanks again for your help.

ParticipantHello,
Sorry, I thought it was there. I just put another file with the dump in it. I had set Z max to a positive number. I changed it to a negative number however the test still fails.
ParticipantI have the same problem. Did you ever get a resolution?
