Generating G Code from MDI history log

Hi,

I am quite new to linuxCNC. I was looking for a way to record jog positions. Somewhat similar to what you have mentioned. However, I am unable to use the solution you provided. When I press the "Mark Co-ordinates" or "Generate" buttons, nothing happens. No .txt file is generated in the temp folder etc. It will be of great help if you could provide with a more detailed step by step guide to use this.

Thanks a lot!

The changes_to.ini has POSTGUI_HALFILE = custom_postgui.hal listed under [DISPLAY] and it should be in the [HAL] section.

The sub writecoords.ngc calls M122 and I don't see that file in the zip.

The M153 file has what looks like some hard coded directories to ~emc2/ngc/header.ngc etc. I assume that needs to be changed to where the files are...

- It is under [HAL] section too. The error I get is:

" Unable to open file <writecords> "

I created a directory called splice and placed all the files in there. I changed the ini to point to that location.

I edited the writecords.ngc file and changed M122 to M152.

Running M153 I get splice: command not found... so I assume that needs to be copied to a bin or changed to ./splice...

That works now to change the paths to the header and footer files...

I changed the M153 file to:

and it now runs... now to find the output file...
