I still have my Shumatech DRO on my mill. I touch one side and zero the axis.
I then move across and jog until the LED goes on. Then FCN 1 and the axis
letter button. At that point the axis changes to minus halfway between where I
just touched off and the original 0 point.
I move to make the DRO show 0 and then touch off that axis on the AXIS screen. Now
I have the center point between the two edges. Since the LED indicator probe is
0.2" diameter the distance to the center doesn't matter. Only if I am trying
to find the edge and the Shumatech can be told the diameter of the probe.
Certainly there must be an easy way to do this with LCNC? The Shumatech
software has been around for at least 13 years.
Oops, I didn't see this last line... I think so, either some
added functionality in the DRO (that is where I was looking around),
or else a plugin. it's probably not that hard, if I knew how to write
a plugin for LCNC

Subject: [Emc-users] 'automatically' go halfway between 2 points
Hello,
in linuxcnc,� is there an easy/automated way to get halfway between two
points?�� (Fort example, you'd touch off somewhere, move to some
coordinate (x, y)� (or even (x, y, z)) and go inbetween right to the the
middle of where you touched off and where the spindle is now?
thanks,
Ron
