I have been watching a lot of CNC and machining videos over the past
year and a half too... (which makes me wonder why I still turn so much
stock into scrap.. :) )

a number of G-Code macros that can find edges.

Hi John,
I have seen videos about these electronic "add on" DROs that is actually
why I am asking.�� It would be incredibly helpful finding the center of
circles (aka holes), or squares, the center of stock etc etc.
That's why I wondered if there is something like that in linuxcnc.��
(Maybe I should start looking into how to build plugins for linuxcnc...� )
thanks,
Ron

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.

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
