Hi, Tom.

When setting the 0-point, is there a way to divide by 2 when edgefinding both opposite sides of the stock to set 0 in the center? In both Mach3 and PathPilot you can set 0 in one edge and click the DRO on the edge of the other side press "/2" and Enter to divide the current DRO value in two. I tried this with KmotionCNC, but I got an error message. I checked the manual and the wiki, without finding anything.

Hi Stigoe,

You could configure a User Button to do this. See the CenterFindByHalfKMotionCNCDROX.c example.

#include "KMotionDef.h"

#define TMP 10 // which spare persist to use to transfer data
#include "KflopToKMotionCNCFunctions.c"

main()
{
    double DROx, DROy, DROz, DROa, DROb, DROc;
    GetDROs(&DROx, &DROy, &DROz, &DROa, &DROb, &DROc);
    DoPCFloat(PC_COMM_SET_X, DROx/2);
}

But that sounds like a good feature to add to the Set DRO dialogs. What Version of KMotionCNC are you using? If you want we can post a patch to add this.

That sounds like a great idea Tom. I always have to break out the calculator and this would be much easier!

Hi, Tom.

I'm using the latest version (4.34).

Hi Stig,

Here is a patch for V4.34. Copy to <>\KMotion\Release\ folder.

The Set Dialog should then look like this:

Attachment 428450

Please let us know if it works for you. Changed sources are also on the server if needed.

Hi, Tom.

Thanks! Unfortunately, I've just left for work and will be gone for 5 weeks, so I won't have the chance to test until I'm back. Unless someone else tests in the meantime, I'll let you know when I'm back.

I tried it last night Tom, seems to work fine. This will be very useful, thanks for adding this feature.

[mmurray70]

Tom do you have this patch for 4.35b? I upgraded a while ago and lost this feature, really missing it. Thanks

[TomKerekes]

Here is a patched Version of KMotionCNC.exe for 4.35b. Copy to C:\KMotion435b\KMotion\Release

Thanks again Tom!
