I don’t know if this is how this is supposed to work or not as I’m using the Lightburn software to generate G-Code for my plasma cutter right now (I run a dual setup with laser and plasma control on a Lowrider CNC), but I have noticed that when I tried to induce a Start Time delay (to allow for piercing) that the G-Code delay order is before the firing sequence. So, it generates like below.
This could be a Marlin interpretation thing. I get it, but it does require me to manually process the code after generating. It’s a simple Find and replace sequence in a word document but would be nice to not have to.
Anyway, I think I’ve done a good bit of searching and can’t seem to find a setting that adjusts this. If it is a simple setting change then correct me and shame on me for not looking harder.
Thank you guys very much. the links to the documents on the software are super helpful. I had not located them before this.
For resolution purposes in case someone has the same problem, it looks like I will be using the Custom GCode device process as in order for the delay to work how I want I would need to be in cut through mode, which currently doesn’t appear to be available with Marlin.
I made a GRBL machine and see that the cut through option is available for that setup.
Anyway it appears that it is indeed working as it should without the cut through setting being toggled with the delay being prior to cutting.
Ill play around with the custom GCode process later.
