How to reset 5221, 5222 and 5223 parameters (G54)? was created by nicokid
Hi,
I save my coordinates G54 with:
G54 G10 L20 P1 x0 M100
G54 G10 L20 P1 y0 M100
G54 G10 L20 P1 z0 M100
These remain saved in linuxcnc.var and often I have to delete it.
What is the best way to reset these coordinates? I have problems especially when I use touch off with the z axis.

Thanks, Nicola.

What does M100 do?

Why have a G54 at the start? (and why repeat it)

G10 L20 P1 X0 Y0 Z0
Is valid G-code too.

Hi, I copied M100 somewhere:
#! /bin/sh
axis-remote --reload
exit 0

I use 3 separate lines because I have 3 separate buttons (x, y, z) in my gui.

G10 L2 P1 X0 Y0 Z0 will reset the G54 offsets for XYZ back to 0.

Like Andy was trying to say The P after the G10 L2 (L20) command specifies the work coordinate system, and unless you specify P0 the current one selected is irrelevant so setting it before hand is not needed.

Uh, you're right, I've read the documentation better.

Like Andy was trying to say The P after the G10 L2 (L20) command specifies the work coordinate system, and unless you specify P0 the current one selected is irrelevant so setting it before hand is not needed.

OK! I got it.
With P0 I reset the current coordinates, while with the other numbers (P1, P2, ...) I reset the others (G54, G55, ...).

Another question: what is the difference between G10 L2 and G10 L20? The documentation says:
instead of setting the offset/entry to the given value, it is set to a calculated value that makes the current coordinates become the given value
I think I did not understand.:blink:

Thanks.
Nicola.

L2 sets the G5x offset to the values you specify. So X0 clears the X offset. L20 sets the current axis location to the value specified. Think touch off.

G2 sets the G5x offset to the values you specify. So X0 clears the X offset. G20 sets the current axis location to the value specified. Think touch off.

I think you meant writing L2 and L20.
But I still do not understand the difference. What is the difference between these two commands?
G10 L20 P1 X0
G10 L2 P1 X0
In both cases I specify a value :blink:
Thanks.

Nicola.

One sets the #522x parameters to the given values
The other sets the #522x parameters such that the current machine position becomes the given values.

So in this case X0 works:
G10 L20 P1 X0

In this case X0 is wrong:
G10 L2 P1 X0
The right command is:
G10 L2 P1 X

I understood right?

Thanks and happy holidays.

No, The X must have a number after it.
For example using this command to touch off the right side of the piece.
You would type G10L2P1X0, if you wanted that point to be 0 in your G54 work coordinate system.
If you were locating off a hole 1" from where you want the edge to be you could enter G10L2P1X1.
