How to remove automatic g54 after M2/M30 ?

M2 and M30 commands have the following effects:

• Origin offsets are set to the default (like G54).

linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/gcode/m-code.html#mcode:m2-m30

In LCNC 2.7 it fortunately did not work.
In LCNC 2.9 it UNfortunately works.

My friends used LCNC 2.7.  They used G54 for vise number 1 G55 for vise number 2 and so on. They dont use G5X in ngc files. They have many many ngc files. They were happy.

They started use Mesa cards 7i96s so they had to upgrade to LCNC 2.9. But in LCNC 2.9 automatic Ǵ54 UNfortunately works again. It is very dangerous for them. They works on vise number 2 with active G55, but after program end G54 is activated.

I need help. Where is "automatic Ǵ54 after M2/M30" in source code? I want delete it for us using.

Seems this G54 reset occurs in Interp::convert_stop()
in interp_convert.cc
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...erp_convert.cc#L5052
edit at your own risk

Note this is where Gcode is converted to blocks that are stored in a circular buffer and subsequently executed by motion.

Pretty sure you would just comment out these two lines
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...erp_convert.cc#L5177
// settings->origin_index = 1;
// settings->parameters[5220] = 1.0;

1 = G54 so this is where the reset is happening
parameters like 5220 are described here  linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/overview.ht...:numbered-parameters

Actually, A neat way of dealing with this could be adding a new parameter (5391?) and modify the code so that if it was set to true, the original 2.7 buggy behaivour was restored eg
if settings->parameters[5391] == 0.0{
    settings->origin_index = 1;
    settings->parameters[5220] = 1.0;
}

Be worth playing with that.

 

Thank you for help.

I preffer:

Default value AUTOMATIC_G54 = TRUE
 

+1

I have wished for a possibility to op-out of this automatic resetting to G54 on M2/M30 several times in the past.

Have a look at this PR:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/pull/4093

I would like ask you for add this information in manual for M2 and M30 definition.

linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/gcode/m-code.html#mcode:m2-m30

How M99 works? What M99 do? I didnt find definition.

see updated link above, also note changed usage as I wanted to follow the 'disable_g92_persistence' setting.

for M99 see (I have never used it myself):
linuxcnc.org/docs/scratch/html/gcode/o-c...fanuc-style-programs

M99 is not working in Gmoccapy. 


I tested it in master branch and in feature_g54_on_program_stop branch.
It doesnt work in both branch.
It works in Axis GUI. 

M99 link is not working too:
