    Z axis question..

    Guys,

    I have a question about Z axis in LinuxCNC, I put my configuration on inch,
    but in the pictures, it seems to be mm ?


    And do you guys have a links or reference for using G-code from scratch ?

    Thanks

    Looks like its outputting G21 which is mm instead of G20 which would be inches. Kinda weird your software keeps doing that.

    It means I need to override the code to inch or change the config to mm, so it's easier for me to calibrate,

    Any ideas of how to develope G-code ?

    thanks
