Greetings; How often does LinuxCNC save the position.txt file?
I note that if there are touchoffs in use, re-homeing the machine to its homing switches does not clear the touch offs and this could be the source of some useful data. However, I would like to automate its finding a brass jig dohicky on the top of a hinged board that gets flipped up to serve as a positioning guage fixture for the workpiece. I damaged that dohickey by using the wrong polarity of a gpio pin, so it didn't stop on first contact, but on first contact break. Duh. Not damaged beyond use however, I just need to recalibrate its offsets from the workpiece. I want to make the first move, one that puts it within a mm in all 3 planes of the inside of this little brass gizmo, so that a set of G38.2's can then set this dohicky's offsets into the G54 co-ord system. That I can do easily enough, but after thats done I need to run it up 50mm and stop, waiting for me to click on a continue button popup so I am reminded to flip that part of the jig out of the way. So the real question is, other than a pair of tool change pauses, how can I achieve this stop & prompt to move the jig?
