Is there a simple way to add or subtract a small amount to the offset for an axis. It seems all the G10 commands replace the stored value, What I would like is a comand that adds to the old one regaurdless of machine position . Is there such a thing? How hard would it be to make one?
I need this for a wood carving machine. The machine operators often need to make small adjustments to the depth of the carving, bumping it up or down a few thousanths. Using touch off is a bit cumbersum, the operator either has to do the math to figure out what the new offset should be and type it in, or jog the machine from the machine 0 (where the machine parks) to the new part 0 then touch off. I would love to be able to set up a pyvcp panel with buttons like incremental jog buttons that could "jog" the selected coordinate offsets incrementally. But I don't see an easy way to set this up. -- ======================================== Todd Zuercher mailto:zuerc...@embarqmail.com ======================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
