Good afternoon. I am manually writing g-code for a small cnc mill project. The machine appears to be in an unknown state, that is there are origins that are not visible to where I am looking.
First, what I am doing:
1. clear g54 using the machine window command (this adds the g54 value to the azis and clears g54)
2. home the axis(s)
3. use an edge finder to find the x edge.
a. find the edge.
b. use touch off to set the axis to -.1 (the half diameter of the tool)
4. repeat for y and set the touch off value to .1
5. run the progam (the first command is g01 x0 y0 f20
The result is the machine moves to x=0, y = some small - value (about -.3)
What could be causing this? Are there other parameters that restore from previous executions?
Where can I look?
Thanks in advance, Dan
