Legacy Artisan OM5 Mach3 Wrapper Post Processor

[THellewell]

For those with Legacy Artisan's using Mach3 with the OM5 interface here is a modified post processor that will work with your standard "A Offset 6 G59". Both inch and mm versions are below.

Anyone tried to VCarve or Toolpath text on a round yet? Getting a mirror image?

Here are the post processors again with the A-Axis reversed. This way you won't have to manually reconfigure your machine when switching between Vectric Products and Legacy Conversational CAM. You will notice the G-Code looks a bit different because it uses Mach3's math capabilities to multiply the A-Axis values by -1 within the G-Code.

If you want it to run backwards just change this,

ROTARY_WRAP_X = "-A"

To this,

ROTARY_WRAP_X = "A"

Thanks Greg. That is even simpler. Here are the files again with the simpler fix for reversing A rotation and the modification to work with the "A Offset 6 G59".

Will this postprocessor still work with Aspire 3?

Hello dealguy11,

Yes, all post processors written for earlier versions of Aspire,
will work in version 3, without any modification.

I hope that this helps,

Cheers,

Mark.
