For pick-and-place perhaps the way to approach this is as a tool-change? M6 signals the component to make an acquisition (iocontrol.0.tool-change-request ) The tool number could indicate what shape to search for. The Python component performs the shape recognition and sets the XY tool offsets: import linuxcnc import opencv c = linuxcnc.command() {opencv magic} c.tool_offset(toolno, z_offset, x_offset, diameter, frontangle, backangle, orientation) Then the G-code could issue a G43 and a second move to the original location. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
