Is it possible to control offsets from a Hal pin? I'm looking to change the x,y, and z offsets dependent upon a tool change, without using the tool table. I need absolute tooltip offsets, not radial left/right sets. At the moment, I'm putting G92/.1/.2 commands in my post file, but would prefer to write a comp to do this based upon fixed parameters. (For our application this works, as it offsets relative to any of the additional WPC's called (like G54 or the other work coordinate systems, of which we're using about 6). Our application has a circular array of tools, from which tool 0 (reference) is programmed to the center of the array. T1-12 are spaced around a pair of concentric circles, and due to length, thus have x,y and z offsets from the reference. I have a couple custom components running too, as there are accessories running that are being controlled (not in realtime) over a couple serial ports. It's in one of these comps that I'd love to be able to command the offsets. I know I can read pins like halui.tool.length_offset.x or motion.tooloffset.y -- however those pins are read only. Is there anything out there, or even the ability to change variables (perhaps like #5211-5219?)
