We just posted CM 637 at Carbide Motion Beta Downloads . We added an OpenGL-based rendering test to the Inspect Toolpath window and we’d like to see if there are problems with it in the wild.
It’s not even a feature yet, much less usable, but we need to get testing feedback before going further.
We had a ton of OpenGL trouble with Windows when we first added the simulation view to Carbide Create. A lot of time has passed, so we’re hoping that any remotely modern PC will run this code without trouble now.
[EDIT: 638 fixes the crash in the first release in 637 for Windows computers]
[EDIT: 639 fixes a bug in the arc length calculation for time estimates]
The desktop build is OpenGL 3.3 and the Pi only supports OpenGL ES2, so it requires code changes to work on a Pi. We’ll jump into that after we see what the Windows tests look like.
This happened in both 637 and 638:
Everything works well the first time when viewing the preview.
After clicking done, and you go to view the preview again the 3d view is gone.
Everything else is viewable like the G-code, top, front, iso view…
Machined the file with both 637 and 638 with no problems.
