I'm having a bit of difficulty getting my first attempt at changing machine offsets for fixtures.
I have 9 locations that I want to machine the same things to. 1) Synopsys - start LinuxCNC. Home machine. touchoff G54 x/y/z. 2) Load in program. 3) Load first tool (collet chuck, manually done) 4) bring tool down to just above surface. 5) touch off Z for G54. Nothing on the screen moves. The AXIS display leaves everything "up above". I'm used to having AXIS move things down when touching off. No touch offs move any of the "fixture locations". Here's some of the code - ( StarTest-16mm 8/11/2013 7:15:38 PM ) ( T1 : 1.0 ) G21 G90 G64 G40 G0 Z1.0 (T1 M6) (G17) (M3 S7000) (pause for 2 seconds) (G4 P2 ) (set up 9 positions) (respectively G54 G55 G56 G57 G58 G59 G59.1 G59.2 G59.3) G10 L2 P1 X00.0 Y0.0 G10 L2 P2 X19.0 Y0.0 G10 L2 P3 X38.0 Y0.0 G10 L2 P4 X00.0 Y17.0 G10 L2 P5 X19.0 Y17.0 G10 L2 P6 X38.0 Y17.0 G10 L2 P7 X00.0 Y34.0 G10 L2 P8 X19.0 Y34.0 G10 L2 P9 X38.0 Y34.0 (drilling centre hole subroutine) O888 SUB ...
