    Default PCB Autoleveler Plugin for UCCNC

    Hello All,

    I have written a plugin for UCCNC.
    it is for auto leveling PCB milling.
    Are there people who want it and test it?

    I want to know if there are any bugs....

    there are 3 files.
    first is M331.txt copy it in C:\UCCNC\Profiles\Macro_Default
    second is the AutoLevelerCA.dll copy this in C:\UCCNC\Plugins
    third is a sample pcb gcode file...


    sorry for bad english..

    thanks..

    Cahit,

    thanks for submitting that. Unfortunately I don't have a PCB milling machine yet, I make my PCBs with a transparency and the UV light method. Then I do the hole drilling on my cnc plasma table LOL.

    I'm curious though, what exactly is auto levelling PCB milling ??

    Keith.

    Thanks Cahit,

    I think I understand what it does, it simply gets the exact surface positions of a range of points across the whole board surface then applies any necessary offsets at those "points" (maybe within a square area around each point, +/-X and +/- Y from each point) ??????

    I like that because I've always wondered how you can accurately mill such a small depth on a "flexible" board. You would be completely relying on the board laying perfectly flat with the milling machine table.

    Good stuff.

    cahit, thanks for your hardwork i will be anxiously waiting. I don't want to resurface the spoil board of my 4ft x 4ft machine. If you make a program in following way it will be quite helpful for all of us:

    1- I will place small metallic plates of equal thickness at different locations ( Grid points) of my complete working area.
    2- I will get all the locations data using proximity probe.
    3- This will be reference data and i will use the same to calibrate the Gcode for the work.
    Is it possible?

    I think that's possible, whynot. but I'm not a profesional programmer or cnc machine user. I do it in my spare time just for fun. Therefore I can not promise of when I can program it ...
    and also my english is bad

    oh i have another idea for you. in stead of step 1 can't you use something like this?

    Thank you for the plugin!

    I've tried to mill boards with it -


    Several suggestions -

    1. add pause between end of probing and start milling, to let me remove probing tool and prepare for actual milling.
    2. allow to enter values in fileds by keyboard
    3 remove limit (30mm maximum spacing between probe points)
    4 remember last entered settings!
    5 add probe sensor height (I've added it to M331.txt file for me)
    6. remove first G31 probing (or make it optional)

    But anyway it works, big thanks for your plugin!

    HI Cahit,
    Thank you for this plugin.
    I tried it but only work for your example.
    Doesn't work for my G-code files i.e. when I load the files in UCCNC , it doesn't get loaded in the Autoleveer. However it does with your example.
    Do you have any idea why?
    Best regards,
    rab

    HI Rab,

    it can be the path name of the file. if it is long then gives an error. try to make the filename short.. you can see if there are 3 dots (...) in the filename on the diagnostics tab, if so than it does not work.
    that will be fixed in the next releases of uccnc.

    regards.

    Hi Cahit
    Thank you for the reply.
    I played with the path and I changed the file name to short one. I called the file PCB1. I even swapped your example files content with mine but still doesn't work.
    I will email you the g-code file that you can try it yourself.

    Turns out this was the issue I was having. I was storing them in "My Documents" so ended up with quite a long file path.

    Work's beautifully otherwise! Accepts files generated from both FlatCam and CopperCam.
