That was a lot of reading FWIW. Then I started on the wiki and stumbled, litterally over this: SUBROUTINE_PATH = ncsubroutines:/tmp/testsubs:lathesubs:millsubs - Specifies a colon (:) separated list of up to 10 directories to be searched when single-file subroutines are specified in gcode. These directories are searched after searching [DISPLAY]PROGRAM_PREFIX (if it is specified) and before searching [WIZARD]WIZARD_ROOT (if specified). The paths are searched in the order that they are listed. The first matching subroutine file found in the search is used. Directories are specified relative to the current directory for the inifile or as absolute paths. The list must contain no intervening whitespace. In the RS274 section. Duh. I think I even may have egg in my beard. :( Now I need to dress for the temps, and go drill a marker hole for real so I can actually put good data in tool 99. Dumb Q here though, do I actually need the stuff in align.zip? And can I get a copy of the higher MDI numbered stuff you've written? No clue it they'd be useful to me as I have already written several such subroutines that use variations of the G38.2 to find stuff now. One such is in Genes- os9-stf/LCNC, and uses a small brass pipe and a flexible spinning probe to find the exact center of that pipe, which is drilled and pressed into one corner of a block of micarta that carries the pcb. The offset is hard coded, but will need to be calibrated on a per new micarta block made basis. I have a couple others that locate the copper of the pcb so I'm not digging 10 thou into the glass & eating the bit with the glass. I'll try to get both of those moved to there since they make use of G55 and G56 to set a system per board side. 4 routines all told. But the pipe finder needs tool changes, which on a #2 morse taper collet spindle are a time killing PIMA. One of the reasons to pursue this camview based solution.
