Hey all, tonight I decided to try and get a reliable wifi connection to my onefinity and set up an eero right next to the controller. So far it’s working fine and the connection appears to be stable. Then I decided to do a test and created a circle cut in carveco maker plus and loaded the gcode from my pc. After it loaded I see all these arc radius messages and am wondering what they are and how to correct them.
Thanks!
Would you be willing to post the gcode file? I would like to test it on my machine to see if it’s repeatable.
Does the file run ok even after giving those warnings?
I think it’s probably that the post processor from your cam software is producing arcs that are not mathematically accurate enough for the tolerance on the onefinity contoller. ie: the start, end and circle center points are not perfect.
This has been a problem on the CNCs at my work. On those there is a tolerance setting for what mismatch in arc points is allowed.
Sure thing. This was just a simple test, so it is a circle that goes down 1/32" each pass. The file ran fine on my machine even with the errors.
Thanks, George

Ok, so i ran your program thru a script i wrote a while ago to check the accuracy of arcs ( as i say we have had this problem occur at work ) The output is below.
As I suspected the warnings you are getting is when an arc start, end and center point are not perfect.
Just note the “N” numbers for each error below. They are the same as the Location numbers in your warning screen from above (except for line N65 - which was the worst deviation of them all - strange).
Since the file still ran fine then i think that means the 1F controller is set to tolerate deviations greater than .003 inch on arcs. So it is nothing to worry about unless you want to do super accurate work.
I will test some more tomorrow on my machine.

Done.
Thanks for testing this Chris. All of my files typically run fine, except for stupid user error situations, and I’ve never seen these warnings before. I appreciate your looking into it.
