About Teach-in Script

Hello all Mods and Members,

I have recently setup for 9Axis Special purpose Spring machine, i came across Teach-In Python script which is used for teaching. so now i am confused how to utilize in 2.7.4 version as i am not able to find any directory or file as stated in git where its located. also blank that how it works. i am feeling totally noob at this point.

Any one throw some light please. my concept is to jog and put that axis and its value entry in program/file directly by a click of button.

Thanks in advance,
Ankit

No one here ?? with help of Teach-in.py script ?

For a rip build, the file is:

your_git_top_dir/src/emc/usr_intf/axis/scripts/teach-in.py

but it is not made available as an executable in a deb install
for 2.7.x -- probably just forgotten, you could file a bug
report

It is made available in the joints_axes13 branch at
/usr/bin/teach-in

Thanks for your input dgarrett,

can you clear some of points... as your answer is totally bouncer to me. all i got it its not included in 2.7.x, now i am confused at what is "joints_axes13 branch" and how old script used to work with emc ? and is there any way i can compile in new version ? like kinematics ? as i am only familiar to work with .hal .ini and kinematics files only.

Thanks Again

teach-in.py is a python script so you could download the blob and just use it
make it executable (chmod 755 teach-in.py)

git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=linuxcnc.git;a...47;hb=refs/heads/2.7


joints_axes13 is a developmental branch

hello dgrrett,

I was playing with script. loaded as a Gcode and it opened a dialogue box with joint and world mode, i am able to capture position but not axes name ! how to get it done ?

Any input ?

The axes are in the order of X Y Z A B C U V W so if you have a 3 axis mill for example the numbers from left to right are X Y Z. The four numbers after the axes positions are flood, mist, lube and spindle enabled. You can run teach-in.py after starting LinuxCNC. Starting teach-in without a file name the saved position just go to standard out.

Thanks BigJohnT,

Where the saved file is located ?? I couldn't find it. Also there is 0 0 1 0 output in each line.

I want to modify little manually after teaching.

I have modified script to get G01 and corresponding axes letter. But not able to remove trailing 0 0 1 0 ... also Not sure where the file is saved i can see loaded program with saveral errors only !

Also need to add % before first line and after last line.

For routine use its headache to modify file everytime.
