Need Help!- EMC with a home built xyz & EdgeCam

[highwaymancnc]

Hello I have a home built cnc xyz 3 d machine running EMC2. I have been using edgecam to generate my code and I am having some problems. the code snippet below is one:

G20 G90 G40
G10 (L2) P1 Z#4 R0.028 T00
G10 L2 P1 X[0.0*#1] Y[0.0*#1] Z#4 (Top)

will not run throws error message:

line with G10 does not have L2

When I had the L2 in brackets above to show you not in the code with brackets I get the following error:

R word with no g code that uses it

Is there a machine definintion file I could use to plug in to Edgecam to make these errors go away. I have tried to edit my own based on the Fanus definition file but I am wasy over my head with this even though I have made some progress I seem to be at an impass.

R is not listed as an argument to G10 according to the manual. The options as I see them:

1) Ask EdgeCam for a custom post
2) Try a different included post (Generic Fanuc possibly?)
3) Create your own post (EdgeCam has a wizard for this?)
4) Hope another EdgeCam+EMC user spots this
5) Continue to hand edit

You could also try the emc-users-mailinglist which would increase the odds for #4.

edit/ It never hurts to google

edit/edit/ The issue might also be avoidable by choosing different options while using the CAM . Most of my programs simply use G54, EMC's default.
