<h1>HOLE CIRCLE UTILITY</h1>
|
|
<p>This program creates a gcode file that can be loaded into linuxnc to run a hole circle operation.</p>

<ul>
|
|
<li>no blank entries.</li>
|
|
<li>spindle speed greater than 0</li>
|
|
<li>circle radius greater than 0</li>
|
|
<li>first hole angle less than 360</li>
|
|
<li>Z travel height greater than 0</li>

<li>checks for valid input fields</li>
|
|
<li>if MM button is checked, the gcode program will contain a G21 MDI command, otherwise a G20 command</li>
|
|
<li>if a red X remains in the display, the program will not be created</li>

<ul>
|
|
<li>a successfully created program can be transferred to the gcode viewer</li>
|
|
<li>the program is then ready to be run in linuxcnc</li>
|

|
<p>The machine should be X and Y zeroed at the center of the desired hole circle.</p>
|
|
<p>The Z zero should be set to the top of the workpiece.</p>
|
|
<p>The diagram on the right side shows a preview of the hole positions to be drilled.</p>
