For that you have to program "M" codes, like "M128" to activate "TCP" & "M129" to deactivate it.

To use those M codes you need a version of LinuxCNC that allows switching kinematics. This functionality has not been merged with the main branch of linuxcnc. So in order to install that you will need to do a RIP (Run in Place) install of dewey garretts switchkins branch. This will require you to compile and build linuxcnc from source.

Here is his guide: www.panix.com/~dgarrett/stuff/s_kins_guide.txt

Thank you for all those informations.

I do not have the necessary level to do this (compliation / branch ??).

however, I saw that I could use the M66 / M68 to change the type of kinematics and synchronization of the axes.

all this with the subroutine call.

subroutine call as I have already used for the automatic measurement of my tool length.

Is it correct ?

Thank you

M66 and M68 are indeed used in the M128/M129 commands to read/write values from inside the Gcode. However the actual changing of kinematics is only possible if you run the switchkins-branch.

This is, by the way, also why I got to learn how do a RIP install. It's really not all that difficult. One just has to sit down and try.

Really all that's needed is described in the link above:

Warning: Spoiler!

You've got a nice machine, would be a shame.

Have you completed step 2?

2) To get the source code and build LinuxCNC, see:
linuxcnc.org/docs/master/html/code/building-linuxcnc.html

Learn how to build the default (master) branch first.
You must succeed with this before proceding.

There you need to first try this:

It this fails, as it probably will, you will need to install the missing dependencies.

Maybe this helps: (I have not actually watched the whole thing)
