New Autoleveling PCB software

[Daedelus]

Hi Dragonfly,

Thanks for the interest.

1. Unfortunately no. My program does not handle arcs too well. However, I am currently building a GCode parser which I plan to build into the autoleveller. This will provide full support for arcs amongst other things. Stay tuned :)
2. Persisting the height data so that a project can be repeated without "re-probing" will be a fantastic enhancement I know and it has been a much requested feature over on my forums. After I finish the parser, this will be my next priority.

P.S. Sam, I have been alerted by Art that he to could not see the navigation menu on the web-site. I could not replicate the problem on my own machine but I changed the theme on this wordpress site and it should appear OK now.

thanks,

[Daedelus]

Sorry I haven't been on here for a while, been a tad busy of late.

The latest version of AutoLeveller is 0.8.2 and as of 0.8 you can log your probe points to a file then feed that log file back into AutoLeveller to perform calculations within the software itself rather than in the GCode file. This means you only have to do a full probe one time and if your tool bit breaks for example you can just replace the tool, reset your Z and resume etching where you left off.

Here is an image of a board made using this technique with 0.8...



0.8.2 fully supports LinuxCNC, Mach3 and TurboCNC

You will need to log-in or register to access the latest pre-compiled binary files (.exe and .jar), alternatively download the source code for free or try the free version (up to 0.7.7).

I am happy to answer any questions you have. Enjoy

best,
Daedelus.
