Retrofitting an 89 Chiron FZ12W aka Igor

Finally done with rewriting my tool touch off scripts. I use the W offset to set the offset for large tools. So I can run them off center and in reverse.

Added a new safety feature. I control the if one of the non uses tool changer arm goes down. If it does, the machine estops



It’s done my a python hal module.

Hi Patrick,

could you please write me what needs to be changed in INI probe basic file for correctly displays and works in mm units instead of inches? Thanks a lot. Marek

Ahoj Marek,

As tommylight said you need to set the linear_units in the INI to mm
Above I attached my whole config for my machine here a link again:

forum.linuxcnc.org/media/kunena/attachme...829/IgorProbe.tar.gz

You need to keep n mind if you want to have the display working in mm you need set set up the whole machine in metric units

Thank you friends! I will try the settings in the workshop evening.
