    I have completed some initial testing on various 2.5d and 3D milling jobs including a lot of Arcs and Z-axis movement and this build ran flawlessly. The Only issue I had was self induced, I forgot to save my settings before flashing the tinyG but got it all configured just took a little more time :).

    Thanks Alden for the great work…

    You can find AVRdude in and Arduino IDE as outlined here in the wiki:

    https://github.com/synthetos/TinyG/wiki/TinyG-Updating-Firmware

    or here is a good tutorial on using AVRdude which give a link to WinAVR:

    http://www.ladyada.net/learn/avr/setup-win.html

    There were some reports that this clobbered the %PATH% on windows but I ran it on Win 7 and had no issues.

    Ok…429.04 works like a charm did not run into any issues throughout the rest of the job but I had to stop it before completion as I used tgFX this time to send the Gcode and an hour into the finish cut tgFX started to slow down seems to be a possible memory issue but I will open a new thread on that part of the forum. As far as this issue goes this is resolved in my case and here is a pic of the almost finished product but have no doubt it would have finished successfully…

    Thank you again very much for all that helped diagnose the issue and especially to Alden for generating the fix…..

    You are the man Alden so happy I went with tinyG definitely brings new life to my Shapeoko 2….

    Thanks Alden I will get this new build loaded and tested for you and update this thread with my findings.

    As for you other question i tried starting after the 3200 point and started my gcode at 4500 printing in the air and sure enough the tool dives down on the Z Axis as though that is its starting point and looks to continue through as such as I let it run for a bit through the gcode noting the Z axis was very deep.

    Just FYI I am using coolterm now to do my testing.

    Thanks again

    If you start the gcode at line 3200 that is just before the issue as it starts to make the pass for the outside edge of the barrel..

    I finished running a test on coolterm and it fails in the same spot with the same issue in that the Z Axis is sent down through the wood which looks to be a bit deeper that the overall depth setting of .75 inches now that i look at it a bit more..

    If there is anything else needed please let me know…

    The issue happens at line 4193 when it starts to make the cut for the barrel edge design. It is running on coolterm now just waiting for it to get to that area of failure.

    Hello Alden I am using tgFX build 3256 and am using RTS/CTS I also tried with JCNC also set to RTS/CTS and both parameters for connection were the same set at Baudrate 115200, Data Bits 8, Parity NONE, Stop Bits 1.

    I am using a shapeoko 2 with a work area of 11.25″ x 11.25″, I will run through coolterm today to see if i can determine where in the gcode it is failing and report back.

    Thanks guys for all the help it is much appreciated, I am able to execute very simple jobs that only include profile tool paths but when i get into 2.5D roughing and finishing tool paths that is where I see issues.

    I am loving tinyG and tgFX and if we can get this resolved I will be in CNC Bliss…

    well everything seemed to be working good until the third pass on the roughing stage where the Z Axis seems to loose its mind and took a deep dive into the wood. I have tried using the generic gcode Post Processor and the tinyG mm Post Porcessor with the same results. When running the gcode for the roughing phase i get through two passes then on the third pass it starts out ok but then the Z Axis dives down the depth of the material, .75″ and I kill the job.

    Thank you Alden that is what I needed and it loaded just fine on my tinyG and am running a test now to see if the issue has been resolved.

    I will update the thread with my findings..

    Hello Alden,

    Will you be building the hex file and making it available on your download site, I have attempted to build it from the DEV branch but I am running into issue loading the new build on my tinyG, I am sure it is something with my building of the file..

    Thanks
