Active G Codes Not Correct

Greetings,

I programmed my first part using "zero offset". That is, use the tool table for cutter diameter.

The program ran fine. LinuxCNC picked up the G41 and D values correctly as I had to run the program several times, adjusting the D value, to precisely obtain my size.

I did notice in the "Active G-Codes" window within AXIS that "G40" was active. I never saw it change to "G41"?

I then looked in the "LinuxCNC Status" application and, again, no G41.

Does LinuxCNC interpret the G41 behind the scenes?

I am using 2.5.4

Cheers,

Dave

The window with the program running will show the state the machine will be in when the program ends.
You will note that settings such as F100 will not change while running.
So if you end your program with a M2 G40 will be active when the program ends.

Greetings Rick G,

What about the LinuxCNC Machine Status application from the drop down menu? While the program is running, the window appears to be continuously updating as it is hard to watch a single line due to the constant up and down refresh.

In this file, the G41 never shows up.

Does this application also show the G Codes at the program end?

Cheers,

Dave

I have never had occasion to try it. Not close to a linuxcnc machine right now but you might try something similar to below with the pauses to see if you get the results you are looking for.
