Hello, all, I've been doing some serious machining this weekend, and had two things pop up.
One was that when making long traverses under manual jog with the jog buttons, on the Axis interface, the jog got "stuck on", like the old problem with hitting too many jog buttons at one time. Tapping the jog button again stopped the jog, just as it does with the multi-axis jog thing. I was making roughly 16.5" long jogs to clean up an edge of a sheet. I used the jog buttons to get constant velocity. This is my production Bridgeport system, it was built from a 3/16/2008 CVS update from the EMC2 trunk. Has anyone else seen this problem? I haven't encountered it before, and it didn't do it at all today, but did it 3 times Friday. The other thing is I used to barely understand the G10 L2 Px behavior before, and it seems to have changed. I think in the EMC1 past, all G55 - G59.3 work offsets were relative to the G54 system, it looks like all offsets are now relative to the machine coordinate system. Is that right? I tried to figure out how to set up an offset, as I had a fairly long piece of G-code that is relative to X=0 Y=0, and I had used it before with a scheme like this : G10 L2 P2 X3.2 Y7.8 G55 Where I wanted x=3.2 Y=7.8 to be the center of the pattern. I couldn't make much sense of what it was doing, and eventually entered the offset with the touch-off dialog in Axis, which did set the coordinate system the way I wanted it. (I had the machine at x=3.2 Y=7.8 and set X and Y = 0 with the touch-off for the G55 system. I can't see anything in the reference that clearly shows what G10 L2 Px does. There is a bit more in the G92 section, but it is pretty inscrutable. Does anyone have any schemes for using G10 L2 Px to set up work offsets from within a program?
