Ok, so I'm trying to figure out a procedure to do the auto touch off. I haven't made it very far.
It seems like the first step is to add one of those virtual control panels on the side of Axis so I can click a button to do it. I thought a good button to start with would be a "home" button to simple do g0x0y0z0.
To setup the button requires use of pyvcp, creating an xml file, and adding a line to the .ini file.
Here is my home.xml file:
PHP Code:
<pyvcp>
<button>
<halpin>"home-button"</halpin>
<text>"Home"</text>
</button>
</pyvcp>
In the .ini file you add a line to the [DISPLAY] section:
PHP Code:
PYVCP = home.xml
When you load Axis you'll now get a Home button on the right side. Unfortunately it won't do anything. Somehow you need to connect a "pin" to something to execute the g-code.
