thanks for your reply, hmmm thats what i did, i tried the simulate which shows the line being traced as it should.
I take it after drawing circle at say a 100mm circle at 100x 100y and the head is at the datum point. should it then seek to the origin point for my circle?
Because when i do that, mine just jumps forward about 200mm and then scans back and forth, but with no output from the laser. I tried loading a bit map from corel 12, output as 1bit bitmap/stucki and it just does the same thing.
It does'nt matter where the image is place on the software grid or the size/shape of the image or the proximity of the head to it. it just does the same thing. only when i load one of the pre loaded files does it do what i expect.
I trying to work out if this is due to my lack of expierience or if there is a problem with either the software or my setup or....any ideas anyone? |
