hi after a long time here I am, I'm building a new machine and need to do the setpoint from M code inside the program I tried in different ways but it doesn't work someone has already done this function?
hello the new machine works with the piece moving on the x-axis above a tape with a laser sensor I have to setpoint each program but I can't write an M code that does this. An example is on youtube " brema vector "
So you are loading the piece with the conveyor belt and want to set the X-axis to zero as a reference point when the work piece triggers the laser sensor ?
When you say you want to "setpoint using an Mcode in the program" do you mean you want to set the x-axis in your part's Gcode or automatically do it through HAL when LinuxCNC is running? If you load one part at a time and wait until that part has finished I don't see a need to do it as an M-command in the Gcode.
What kind of control hardware do you use (e.g. MESA)?

Your requirements are very vague. You could use offsets and coordinate systems to save a position.
You could also pass values from gcode to Hal via M67/M68.
