Output x,y,z tool position from DWC to serial?
-
Which files should I modify to output the x,y,z tool position (as shown in DWC) to the serial so I can store in a txt file?
-
I'm not really sure what you're asking. What are you trying to accomplish in general?
-
@phaedrux I want to store the to X, Y, Z tool positions (displayed at top right-ish in DWC) in a text file.
I will later use these positions to generate a 3D model so I can check how well does my control algorithm works. Currently, I am generating the X,Y,Z values using the DDA output (accel stop time, steady time, decel start time, start velocity, end velocity, total distance moved etc) but I'm sure there's a bug somewhere because I get a deformed model

Sending M114 will give you the current position

But I'm not sure how quickly it will report. Are you trying to capture the position when at rest, or during movement?

@phaedrux I am capturing motion during movement. I just want to intercept the values that being sent to the DWC tool position
