Tool offset patch

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 _should_ only need the . ./scripts/rip-environment
(And I tend to have that in my .bashrc file)

To install you need to repeat the compile steps, with a small change:

./configure --prefix /usr

then make, sudo make setuid. and then the compile will over-write the installed version.

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.
