Error message in gsender

Post by Mcoop »

Hello all. I am not sure if I am dealing with a software issue from gsender or one from v carve. When I load a file and use the test run feature on gsender it pauses the job after 10 to 15% and says checking for gcode errors. it happens almost every time even on very simple jobs any ideas?

Welcome.

Are you using the correct post processor for your setup?

Do you have any characters like brackets, inch symbols etc in your tool names?

There is no specific post processor for my machine (Yorahome silverback). So I am using the generic Gcode(mm)(*tap) pp. I think this is the correct one since I am working in metric. As far as tool names all the tools that were auto populated in the tool database have inch symbols/ Is that an issue?

Vectric will take care of converting inches to mm when the job is saved.

The Yorahome forum mentions that the machine's controller is grbl-based. (See here) You might want to use the grbl post-processor rather than generic g-code.

The team that makes gSender.
I don't work there but have been using gSender (since v1.0) for a couple of years and it just works.
As adze said, figure that s*** out first for PP

I think that solved it. Thanks
