Tested and adopted, but G54 trouble

Hi,
I have installed the basic LinuxCNC interface and connected it to the hardware, but I wasn't very enjoy by it skin. Needed to add custom HAL to see spindle speed. This affect the display area for the other commands and the 3D viewer.
I try some of the other SIMs. I stop on Gmoccapy.


I make a copy of my first config and make the needed changes to run under Gmoccapy.
Hardware works like it was with first config.
Learning the new interface is very simple.

There is something that trouble me :
Program (in white) is not display in local coordinate. The origins table display only [0, 0, 0] values. But the path is played at the good location.

Is there something that I forget to do during configuration ?

I can see on your screenshot, that you have not set any offsets.
Go to manual modd, jog the mavhine to the start coordinates you want to set as G54 origin.
Press the touch off button and set your axis to the value you like, most probably zero.

Now the table does contain the requiered values.

G54 is the location of your workpice

you are still on G53 mashine coordinates as the screen showes
give it also a G54 in the MDI

so move somwhere in the workfieldarea by manuell jog
goto offset tab and press the zero button

2 screen shots to describe what append :



Program @ machine origin
Plotted path @ part origin (with G54)
offset table for G54 @ [0, 0, 0] and coordinates on display are good.

Do you have homing switches?
Please errase the var file kn youf config dir and if present the pos ition.txt file

What does the machine sow rigth after homing?

Hi newbynobi,
1. Yes I have wired the homing switches
2. I haven't any of this files in the config dir

Please post your complete config folder, as i am not able to reproduce.

Hi Norbert

Here the config folder :

Hi
The problem was that in the CNC2.ini file I didn't enter the good value for PARAMETER_FILE in [RS274NGC] section

replaced "macros" by "CNC2.var" (was linuwcnc.var in zip file).

Program is now displayed at G54 location.
As well, I can now use G30 for tool change location
