When I went out to do some more ebony buttons, shortly after noon my time (EST) there was an orange star on the toolbar, which runs package-manager. So before I ran lcnc, I let it update about 8 items, which included the usual 3 suspects from linuxcnc. Then I ran the new version, and since this project wastes a lot of time doing touch-offs of the z axis because the tools have a different mounted length, I thought I'd try to teach myself how to enable TLO compensation. Just 2 tools, but the 1/16" mill is set out a little farther in a occasionally failed attempt to keep the er20 nut from grinding on the work holdown clamps. Obviously the cutout tool, the 1/16th, has to descend farther than the roundover. Before I do much more, I have got to make some thinner hold-down clamps, these are about an inch tall, and if I made some 1/4" bar into clamps, that problem would be history. But that isn't germain to todays experience trying to learn how to use the G43 and G49 tlo comp commands. Specifically, I added an arbitrary z value to the normally zeroed z column in the tool table, in column 3, then played with variations of the G43 command followed by a small z move. The tool table was reloaded each time I edited it. But any subsequent z move was exactly the z move requested, IOW, nothing I did resulted in the tool position being offset even a thousandth of an inch. So, either I need a better tut than is in the most recent pdf, or it simply is not working. Must it be preceded by enabling the x/y comp in a dig/climb? That tool comp is not enabled in my code as thats older code and I did those offsets in the code as I wrote it, something like a year ago. There didn't appear to be any errors generated when I entered those commands from the MDI command line, but quite a few looks at the LCNC "status" report failed to show that there were any offsets in effect. So, how do I proceed? Thanks all. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
