post processor for windows version

brent muller posted a comment on ticket #5

Hi Bob- Thanks for the interesting email. The built-in matrix math should prove handy for your help for your friend. Sounds like a good idea. What I downloaded was apt360-1.0.2-windows-32-bit.zip that I unzipped into C:\usr\bin as directed and this is what I got. I see the problem now. I assumed you got the Linux version. The windows port was created by another author, and he hasn't maintained that package, and the documents are apparently not there. I suggest you download the Linux version, just...

Thanks so much for your reply. Truly appreciated!! Yes, you're correct. You had to be able to visualize the tool and where you were in space at all times. The majority of the programmers were solicited from the top tier machinists at the time, but even so, there was a high degree of failure from those that were drafted. I had had advanced college level mathematics and that made a lot of my understanding a lot easier than most. APT even provided a work around for those who didn't know where they were,...

Hi Bob- I'm glad you are enjoying it. 5 axis in Apt requires quite a bit of mental/visual gymnastics to get right without any visual feedback. It sounds like you used it at the highest skill level. We do have the original manual converted to html. You can find it at your install location /apt360-1.0.3/apt360-1.0.3/doc/manual/index.html The error code depends on where it happened in the translation process. For section one, error 23 is Illegal FINI format, or missing FINI (/* encountered) In section...

Error codes

Peter Cook posted a comment on ticket #4

I have the latest Visual Studio along with Visual Studio 6. I have kept my Visual Studio 6 going because I could never see any real benefit to moving from VB6 to VB.NET as so much functionality was lost, along with using VBA in AutoCAD to develop my own CNC tools. I have recently used this to create a couple CNC programs that we are using at my work to waterjet and then mill a group of coupons for pull testing. Change 5 parameters and run APT and get my 2 programs out. A slightly friendlier user...

Hello Peter, Do you have a compiler / linker setup (ex. Visual Studio xxxx) that can build an executable for your Windows 10? If so, which one?

I have been looking at this for a couple years, and am currently getting a post processor working. I would like to try compiling and updating to work with Windows 10. Any pointers on compiling APT? I would also like to look at the code put out for an arc, some versions suggest that the output data should change the circle normal based on whether the arc is clockwise or counterclockwise. As is I am have to use a brute force approach in the post.

brent muller posted a comment on ticket #4

I am available to ask questions. I have not added to the code base for a while, but welcome anyone interested in adding their ideas. Please let me know.

Peter Cook created ticket #4

Is there anyone involved with this project?

Peter Cook posted a comment on ticket #1

The problem is not APT, the problem is that you need a postprocessor to do this for you. And you are demanding a lot. APT is for true multiaxis, where the spindle has the ability to be offset off parallel with Z and to then be rotated. That is why the calculations are done the way they are. If you want a better POST then perhaps you should do as I am an work on a POST that meets your needs.
