Same Auto level data for multiple ops? Is it possible? was created by wiremonkey
Hello folks,
I'm new here and I'm hoping someone has experience with auto leveling that can help me.
I need to find an auto leveling method that allows me to scan a wood surface once, then apply to this map to multiple g-code files/operations/tool changes.
Does anyone have any insight or know of another auto leveling program or procedure which would allow me to do this?
I've looked into g-code ripper, but it seems to be setup for a one time scan and go.
We currently have a grbl based system and have been moderately successful using bCNC's built in autoleveler, but it chokes on large files and the real time interpolation slows down the speed and fluidity of the CNC machine.
I'm willing to take the deep dive and switch to LinuxCNC if I can solve this one issue.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.

This could be done, but I don't know of a currently working configuration.
There was previously this experiment:
wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ProbeKins
But that turned out not to work properly due to discontinuities at the vertices of the correction mesh.
However, since that was developed, LinuxCNC now has:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/motion/external-offsets.html
And I feel that the combination of the two could do exactly what you require.
A certain amount of integration effort would be needed but I see no reason why it wouldn't work extremely well.

After a bit of searching, this might take more effort than I thought, as the referenced files have disappeared.
But there are a few suggestions here that might solve your problem, possibly even a completed solution: forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...-where-can-i-find-it

Thanks for taking a look around Andy. I think it may be a tough nut to crack because it hasn't been implemented in many senders.

Senders?

g-code senders. Sorry, I'm coming from a grbl world where all of the software that communicates with arduinos are called g-code senders.

LinuxCNC is its own G-code sender. Which also means that integrating an automated probe sequence in to the system would be relatively easy.
(For example, via a GUI button, which could auto probe the currently loaded G-code file extents)
Did any of the links in my second email look promising?

Hi Andy,
I'm still a little too green in my LinuxCNC education to know whether or not the pages you suggested will help.
Once I get through setting up my first LinuxCNC machine and successfully configure my Mesa 7i76E card with servos, etc, then I'll have more pointed questions.
At the moment, I just just learned how easy it is to change the parameters by changing the .ini files! Baby steps...
Cheers!
