(Nothing quoted, as this is general info) If you have a probe, then there is a hole centre macro that ships with LinuxCNC, "probe-hole.ngc" That will work without any config changes. There is a fairly complete set of probe routines included in the distribution which are included in the QTDragon and Woodpecker QTVcp GUIs at least. (There is a lot going on with QTVcp, it seems, and it is passing me by)
In the venerable "Axis" interface you can spoof a fair bit of what is being talked about here in the touch-off dialog as it will accept mathematical expressions in the box. So, you can type in the current DRO reading and halve it ( 1.234 / 2 ). I believe that any valig G-code expression will work: (sin[60] / 2 for example) It would be handy to be able to use axis letters in there, and feels like an easy thing to add. I would not be at all surprised to find that some of the newer GUIs allow exactly that. This touch-off behaviour will be GUI-specific, and I doubt that anyone is intimately familiar with more than a couple of GUIs. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
