Macro gremlins
-
I have a simple test macro G1 X50 F1000 G1 X-50 F1000. When run the machine position updates to +50 and then returns to zero but not the tool position, it stays at 0. Is there a way for the tool position to update. Not a deal breaker but as I am using offsets in a coordinate system I would like to see the tool position.

@middles what do you mean by "tool position"?

@dc42 Sorry I should have been more specific. It's an Ooznest Workbee CNC with WiFi Duet2 and v3.3 firmware. I have a number of programable macros commanded from a wireless pendant with a touch screen. The macros use chained G1 commands to cut a number of differing shapes. Everything works as it should except the tool (workplace) indication on the DWC does not show the intermediate positions at the end of each G1 command, the machine position does. Not sure if this is normal or if I have something wrong. I would like to be able to run an "air cut" to check the positions before machining but without the tool position indication, it's a bit awkward.
Thank you for your prompt reply. -
@dc42 Looking at your Duet 3D DWC it seems not to have machine and tool position indications like the Ooznest DWC. Maybe this is an issue for Ooznest!!
