Subject: Setting work zero on a lathe

Hi,


I would like to use Kmotioncnc on a lathe with a turret type automatic tool changer, I'm able to program the tool changer to execute on M6 Tx commands, but it is not clear to me how to set the work zero for each tool.


In mach3 you can do something like touching the workpiece zero on the X or Z axis and pressing a button that will load an appropriate value to the corresponding tool table offset and zero out the DRO, is such a thing possible in Kmotioncnc? how can this be achieved?


Thanks.

Hi,

You might look at the example:

TestChangeToolOffset.c

Note there have been some changes regarding the Tool table and also how 64-bit floating point values are read from the UserData Array.  Here is a link to a related link regarding Setting Fixture Offsets:

Here is a cool video from Jeremey on KFLOP probing to find xyz offsets but I don't believe he posted his code:
