I run two instances of 2.4.6 the first one uses stepper with no steppers connected and gets treated like sim. CPU is 2.8 G P4. This is my desktop machine with the CAD/CAM on it.
The second machine is a 1.2 G Duron with a 5i20 running hostmot-2. One of these years I will get frustrated enough to change out the mb for and newer one hoping to fix the problem. GUI in both cases is TkEmc. Machine one (stepper) seems to understand G55 thru G59.3 and uses them in a fairly reliable manner but sometime fails to do the offsets upon starting a program. The correct tool number is displayed but not the offset even though the tool offset is used correctly. Machine two misses updating the machine offset upon a restart in the middle of a program even tho I add a Gxx just past the restart line. Most of the time the offset is used but not displayed. Sometimes I get no offset displayed and none used. Correct tool number is displayed but not the tool offset (always 0.0000). I rarely use the tool table offset since synergy expect 0.0 offset and does offset tool paths using the declared tool dia in the cam. I just happened to manually program something very simple because I wanted to be able to adjust the size. The little bit of debugging I've done seems to indicate that the NML message to set the offsets never arrives. I can live with this but it certainly would be nice to get some guidance on fixing the problem.
