Despite the weather, my camera is mounted and just about aligned. Next, after some goop has cured and the mount is stable, I assume the next step is to drill the smallest hole I can, about a #76, home the machine as I drill the hole slowly enough the bit doesn't walk, then move it so the camera can see the hole and using the crop function, zero it on the center of that hole, at which point the dro readings are the offset between the centerline of the spindle and the crosshairs.
So, the next question is, what file do I put that offset pair into, and what buttons do I click to tell LinuxCNC to reference those offsets when setting up to "etch" the top of a board? Do also need to drill a 2nd hole and similarly record its location, but against the first set of data so as to facilitate the auto correction of any rotation of the workpiece about the Z axis? Thats enough for one turkey day's contemplations. ;-) I hope you all have an enjoyable day tomorrow with family & friends to talk and laugh with, while seriously lightening the load on your dining room table. Its white outside, but not all that deep, or too cold, nothing my WV Cadillac's can't handle. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
