LinuxCNC Machine Vision was created by Todd Zuercher
Anyone have any experience with using machine vision with LinuxCNC?  Specifically I am looking into adding a camera to a CNC router for automating the touch off process for part location and size checking.  I want to be able to fixture a part (a frame) to the table then start a routine that would find the edges of the frame opening, make any needed adjustments to the part coordinates, and g-code (adjust a parameter or 2) and then mill the piece.

Does this sound like a reasonable task? Anyone already done something similar?

There was/is something for PlasmaC and/or QtPlasmaC, but i can not find it, might be in the manuals, but searching for it now i noticed some of PhillC videos have been removed from youtube.
It did skew adjustment also, when the plate was not placed parallel, etc.

The nice thing about linuxcnc is you can call a python program from gcode, have it do whatever you want.... Options are endless really..... Then take that data and keep going.

Ask chatgpt how to do it, it's not that bad takes a bit to setup the m codes, O codes, and python program but is very doable especially with AI now a days

I have the basics built but not completed yet.
