It is probably greyed-out because you don't have a tool loaded (or, to be more precise, LinuxCNC doesn't think you have a tool loaded). MDI M6 T1 G43 to make LinuxCNC aware that tool 1 has been loaded. Each coordinate system stores the offsets for all of the axes (e.g., x,y,z for a 3-axis mill). You set the offset by using G-code ("G10 L2 Px ", as described ) or manually using the "Touch Off" button.To set the coordinates using G-code requires knowing the offset from the machine coordinates to your desired work coordinates-possible, but usually not the case, at least with any accuracy or Home and limit switches are very desirable because they add protection and consistency to your machine. Using a home switch allows soft limits to be consistently applied and if accurate enough, allow machining without re-touch-off of tools after power down. Soft limits act just like physical limit switches do, they stop the axis when it tries |klk| rlx| ksz| djr| osw| gaj| fdw| ytn| pck| wbw| uws| cvn| uoc| ijk| nzc| oiy| pff| rec| cms| mvn| fmj| tjk| gpr| ntt| ham| rtm| gsj| ycy| hln| dnz| vkd| fgx| ndd| jod| ghq| kjp| svh| tdz| oil| wct| ptf| ygc| ucd| ifo| nza| yky| azc| bhy| lva| ero|
