Tool offset patch

Chris,

The version I had installed before had other things.

I will try this new version.

thanks,

Jorge Viloria

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

If you do you must add:
LATHE_STYLE_TOOLCHANGE = 1
under the [RS274NGC] heading

Ok I got it working!!! WooHoo! thanks to all! Chris that was the issue. Now when it boots is just says 2.6.0~ pre

Now here is where it gets weird...
It will only load this version is I run linuxcnc for the command line in linuxcnc-dev How do I fix this to make it the default app?

Chris, there is one detail, I notice now add the value of the compensation to 1000n, and Tn is the wear.

but assumes wear backwards. digit 1 in Z and the display shows -1

sorry is my mistake

thanks

Ok, the only way I seam to be able to make the new build run is by doing this every single time...

cd linuxcnc-dev
cd src
sudo make setuid
cd ..
. scripts/rip-environment
linuxcnc

Can someone help me make the new build run as the default? Got to be something simple I am not seeing.

Thanks, sorry for being such a pain.

Ya Jorge when entering something like g10 L10 p10001 z.001

I am not sure what is expected in the tooltable. I woulda thought +.001 in the T1 position.

You don't need the sudo make setuid anymore.


The rest of the commands is what we all do. You can automate it with a script - someone else will have to give you a sample.

The other thing you can try is cd to the src/
and enter: make install-menus

If it still works, you we see extra entries in the Applications/cnc menu.
