You're going too fast!

KPC 22 Jan 2012 21:10

In the pop-up that appears when I press build, I specify a feed rate of 30. Later I get an error about going too fast. A sample line from the resultant GCode file is:
G1 X-38.62 Y-16.73 Z0.78 F202.5

Questions:
1. Where did the F202.5 come from?
2. Where is the feed rate limit specified?
3. Is RelicatorG doing the rate check?
4. Am I missing something?

I've been having similar problems (and weird build issues that I think might be related). Did you solve the issue?

1. F202.5 is the feed rate for that move: 202.5 mm/s.

2. The machine driver selected by "Machine > Machine Type (Driver)". Those machine definitions live in the machines/ subdirectory of ReplicatorG. They are XML files with maxfeedrate values given in mm/minute. You can also see the settings for your selected machine while within ReplicatorG. Use "Machine > Machine information …".

3. Yes.

4. Well, you didn't say where you get the error about going to fast. But it may be that you can ignore that error — it may just be a warning.
