Ruijie CNC machine post processor help

[3bridge]

Hi all I have bought a new CNC machine by Ruijie and it came with Campro by Anderson. The software works well but VcarvePro seems much easier to use, and i can import my .ai files easily. My question is can i use my machine in Vcarve, as the machine is not listed in the software. Im very new to CNC machines so please bear with me. The model of the machine is an RJ1530 and it has a bed of 1500x3000. I have listed the code from a small job below, and i have been told its Gcode? The customer support from Vectric says it will work on the standard Gcode post pre loaded, but there are a few and not sure which to use?

Code from a .cnc file which the machine uses from my current software Campro:

Hi all would be willing to pay for someone to sort me a post out?

[Adrian]

Have you tried just using one of the standard g-code processors "G code (inch)" or "G code (mm)"? They output a file with a .tap extension as standard so if you can't load files of that extension into your controller software you would need to rename them. If it works it's a simple matter to change the post processor to write a file with a different extension.

The output you've listed looks like vanilla gcode to me so I would think that would work ok. Obviously do any tests in the "air" away from the table surface and make sure you're near the stop button or it's equivalent.

If that works then try the "G-Code (Arcs)" post processor as that is a more efficient post processor if you have arcs in your designs (circles are a good test).

[3bridge]

Thanks for that, just did a sample and gcode arcs seems to work ok. Need to do a few tests to make sure. I need to change the extension to .cnc so how do i change the post to auto extension to .cnc?

[Adrian]

Go to the File menu on VCarve. Choose Open Application Data Folder. That will open an explorer Window.

Go into the PostP folder. Open the GCode_arc_inch (or mm) file using notepad or whatever text editor you normally use.

Change the FILE_EXTENSION line from tap to whatever you need it to be. Change the POST_NAME as well so you know it's your modified Post Processor in the list and not the original.

Once you've done that save it as a new name making sure it has the .pp file extension. If you're using Notepad you will need to change the Save as Type to all files when doing the Save As or it will put .txt on the end of the file name.

Restart VCarve and you should find your new PP in the drop down list.

There is a full Post Processor editing guide available on the VCarve Help menu.
