Post processor debugging

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello,

 

I'm a fairly new of Fusion 360, and brand new to Javascript. I'm customizing a post processor with some success, but I'm having some challenges with B-axis rotary table output. I'm in the process of watching videos on JS trying to learn. I have yet to find any reference to a debugging tool. Is there anything out there to debug JS code that would allow me to single step through the code as it processes? I'd really like to see the input CL data coming from Fusion as well (over and above the dump file information). Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Dave Kramer

What the dumb file gives is also what the post gets so not sure what you would want with info above that?

There isn't any true debugging tool.(I believe there is some sort of check implemented in the software now we can use but not able to verify that at this moment) Some editors like NotePad++ if setup correctly help you with showing whats included in what brackets and if you forgot one.

Laurens,

 

Do you have any new info on the "check Implemented" thing you had mentioned?

 

Thanks,

In the HSMWorks installation folder there is a testpost.bat

If you throw your post on there it will run a check for you.
