    Webcam added - need macro help

    Hi all

    I added my webcam to the router as below and am using the CNCcam software from CNC Cam

    Results below, quite happy so far.

    I have read through all the posts I can find webcam with Mach3 but cannot find a clear instruction on creating a button that will move the mill to allow for the camera offset. The image I see is approximately 100mm in both X and Y from the cutter.

    What I want to do is:
    Align by camera
    Press a button on Mach3 and have the mill move to that position
    Zero the X and Y DRO

    Can anyone help please

    XOffset = 0.9348 'X offset from webcam to spindle
    YOffset = 1.9408 'Y offset from webcam to spindle


    SetOEMDRO(800,XOffset)
    SetOEMDRO(801,YOffset)
