It's pretty easy to do this in g-code. There is no need to get
involved with HAL programming.
Here is one way I do it on my mill. I have buttons for the following:
Zero X (runs code G92X0)
Zero Y (runs code G92Y0)
Zero Z (runs code G92Z0)
X/2 (runs code G92X[#5420 / 2])
Y/2 (runs code G92X[#5421 / 2])
what does the "#5420" do/mean?

Say I want to find the centre of X. I find one X edge using a probe or
eyeball as required then zero X. Move to the other side and hit X/2.
X0 is now in the centre.
If you have an electronic probe this plugin works quite well

Hello,
in linuxcnc, is there an easy/automated way to get halfway between
two points? (Fort example, you'd touch off somewhere, move to some
coordinate (x, y) (or even (x, y, z)) and go inbetween right to the
the middle of where you touched off and where the spindle is now?
thanks,
Ron
