Hi,

>> - PID Fault Mode

What CSMIO/IP controller (M, S, A) do you have?

>- Arc invalid parameters

Your CAM software is not generating accurate arcs.
The problem is often caused by too few decimal places for the G2 and G3 commands.

Hi Wojtek,

I am using an CSMIO IP/S with open loop steeper;

Hi,

First, update simCNC to the latest version 3.500, or even to version 3.501 Beta.

If the E-PID error persists, you will need to send me:
- gcode during which the E-PID error shows up
- simCNC profile exported to a file (go to "Configuration" / "Change Profile", then click once on your profile name and select "Export")

You have to eliminate the problem with arcs on the CAM software side.

Wojtek

Now I have the error with "arc parameters invalid" too. I tried all the postprocessors and settings yesterday, but it never worked.
Now I've deleted line T33 M06 in the GCode (see 2nd image) and the program is running, no more error messages.
The complained line p18 is line 19 in the GCode image.

What could be the reason for this?
1. CAD/CAM -> PP (my favorite PP in the attachment)
2. My M6 script -> m6
3. Error in simcnc
4. Something else I haven't thought of yet

PS:
What I also noticed is that after the error message came up, I can no longer move to the program zero point.
Except with G53 G0 and the corresponding zero point coordinates. It doesn't work with G0 X0 Y0.

Oh dear, I found the error. The error is in the m6 script. There I have GCode = G91, which is obviously nonsense, it should be G90. Now it works.
But the error message you get is strange.
