Reading between the lines in the docs a bit, I have expanded that file in terms of the number of vars saved by one or 3 a time or two when I needed a startup variable that was fixed at the LinuxCNC restart. For a full set of G59.1 style co-ords is 9 #4xxx etc locations. As I recall it, once they are init'ed in the .ini file, they become part of the linuxcnc.var file automaticaly. But its been yonks since I did that, and I don't know where it is in the docs now. You would need 27 more locations to fix those 3 additional co-ord tables, but with a 4G r-pi I think it could be made to work. In your gcode, you would need to write a subroutine to re-init that map # from these added vars, and call the subroutine to reset it for each end of the vice. Then another sub could do the exact same operations, using the same co-ord map after its been reset to the values for the other end of the vise. And comment the heck out of your gcode so if you need to look at it again in 6 months, it will be self-explanatory. Good luck J. Ray. > --J.
