Greetings; Finally getting around to analyzing the camview stuffs to figure out, since there's zero docs from the .ru sites file containing any tutorial on how to use it, it appears that the cameras offsets from the camera view to the spindles centerpoint are to be contained in the #5211(X) and #5212(Y) variables, and used by _camon.ngc and _camoff.ngc, which I believe are the utils that move the machine such that in one "on" condition the machne (and the camera) are moved so that the camera is looking at where the tool is when on the "off" move state. I can think of 2 ways to do this once the offsets have been determined. I did that once, but of course have miss-placed my notes so once I know what I'm doing, I'll measure the offsets again.
Both ways are in the RS274_STARTUP_CODE sections of the main.ini file. 1: G92,2 # make sure nothing is in effect G92.1 # clear the whole G92 table #5211=offset_for_x #5212=offset_for_y 2: G92.2 # make sure nothing is in effect G92.1 # clear any trash in the table G92 X offset_for_x Y offset_for_y Which is the preferred method?, or did I leave something out? Once the linuxcnc.vars file is set & saved, can I just use G92.2 to normalize, and G92.3 to bounce in and out of the offsets? Then, as long as the rest of the code I run does not have a "G92 axes" or a G92.1 to clear that table, it sounds like I could set that with a text editor once and forget it, not worrying about the above RS274_STARTUP_CODE having to re-init it everytime LCNC is run. Am I even making sense here? Thanks everybody. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
