    Hi,

    I tried to use sheetcam to generate a file for the openbuilds controller. Gcode looks fine, with plasma touchoff etc. but the openbuilds software errors on "a G-code command implicitly or explicitly requiers XYZ axis words in the block, but none were detected. [N0130 G02 I0.0000 J-07500 F2500.0]. Seems like the openbuilds loves xyz coordinates, but can't find a setting in sheetcam to give that output.

    So, going to Openbuilds CAM. There is a setting for Plasma: Initial Height sensing G-Code. What do i need to put there for plasma touchoff? I have a floating z-axis with a switch connected to the touchplate connection on the openbuilds controller...

    Frustrating.. so close to my first cut :)

    OpenBuilds CONTROL just sends your GCODE to GRBL, we dont generate any errors, so if you get an error, that is Grbl that doesnt like it :)

    Checkout this thread: Plasma cutting table where there are other users discussing the same issue, and found a post processor for sheetcam that works
