Talking about having to drop this menu down and change every time. I thought i changed everything in the ini related to units (attached).
 

 

forum.linuxcnc.org/plasmac/40057-camera-for-touchoff
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.

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?

Did you finish your project, did you use the original encoder or did you change it?

i will try that tomorow
thanks

I don't think you will get much help without a description
of your Modbus hardware and software setup.

electricity is back here ... last slave is your EP box ... check the config but there is no SDOs setup .. I think you will have to create some over the SDO object and then translate them -> object 0x8000:01 .. 17 

but it's also legitimate if you don't want others to use it, why look for loopholes?

There is now an alternative

Maybe there is an eeprom setup and you will have to overwrite something in the eeprom .. because I can not see any SDOs in the startup list out of SM configuration... From the dmesg you are still tring write SM managers what not exist for them... 

My setup before the translator was ... Active configuration, unplug the TC3 master plug lcec master.. ethercat pdos ... And just rewrite active config then I have exporting the SDO config and everything works everytime..

You are using the TC2 instead TC3 .. there should be problem of crashing because I did the translation over TC3 withe 20other slaves CoE or SoE and it works well... Use just TC3, it is better and it is free... Did drag and drop file to the console? Because you have to insert full path ... I am in the heavy storm right now and I can not check your stuff ...

of course you could just use it, no one will be able to prove it,
but since I'm trying to integrate EtherCat into RIO,
I can't use it so easily in my project.
