Tool offset patch

hmm I didn't do anything to that patch other then update it so it applied cleanly.
Should be no different from the original.

If your interested in trying a experimental patch I have one available that switches to an INI switch and fixes the G10 problem.
(tool setting changes the wrong offset entry)



Remember experimental - it has minimum testing.
If anyone tries it please let me know.

Chris, No it does not do a change without the m6 command. I do have the tool 1 and tool 10001 in the toolfile.

Is there anything else i need to do after the "sudo make setuid" command of should it just work after that?

In the readme it says...

"to run the software go back to the top level directory, and issue:

. scripts/rip-environment
linuxcnc"

This have anything to do with it??

The patch did apply and the make went without an error.

If you haven't done that yet then yes.

It doesn't hurt to enter it twice anyways (it'll just tell you so )

If you don''t enter that commands then you are running the installed version rather then the RIP version.

When you start linuxcnc is should mention the version number: like 2.6 pre XXXXX
