Hello hard working comunity.
I have recently switch to linuxcnc and I cant manage to configure the tool lenght sensor.
Can anyone recommend anither gui and kindly explain more about the tool sensor.
As the machine is my build, I want to have fixed position for measuring tools, and make a little macro which will measure every tool and set to predefined offset (same for each tool).

I will post more about my machine and the tool sensor.

Cheers

Marko

Thank you fellas, I really appreciate your help.
I have made some progress. Some of this links did help, but I still have a lot of questions.
I have made an adjustment on my GUI, and included .xml file in machine.ini and buttons apeared, but functionality fails.
The scripts in the buttons dont work for me, so I have made my own script for my machine.

Two questions:
1. How do I link my custom buttons to my script.
2. Exlpanation of problem.
My absolute 0 is on the top of my Z axis and tool lenght sensor is in a fixed position leveled with my initial work table.
When the tool is zeroed, it position is -113.xxx , and I want that temp coordinate to be my new zero. I will also include command to ask me what is the offset from the top of the work piece (work table = zero ; work piece thickness = offset)

What command calculates the current position and makes it zero on another temp coordinates.

I hope I made the issue clear :)

Thanks again

Marko

One of the G10 options.

G10 is a funny command, it does different things depending on whether it is L1, L10, L2 or L20.
Most other commands that are mutable like that would use G10, G10.1, G10.2 etc.

Hey there fellas

Machine is doing great, and I most fascinated with the accuracy and reliability. Position accuracy and positioning is lower than 0.01 on 150 mm, and around 0.02 on 550 mm.

Here are some short videos of machining aluminium 7075-T651
