No, I don’t know why I wrote that. Just remember, grbl defaults to absolute mode… Your telling it where to go in that case, not how far to go.
Yes I saw that. Three of us now and saw no responses toward a possible resolve.
So if I send this command what is the expected response?
Move to machine x7 y5?
Move to work x7 y5?
I was referring to jogging like preparing to set xy work position.
Say I have my material clamped in place and want to jog to the position I want for work 0.
and I want it to move x7 and y5, what command to I send?
I guess I was not clear about jogging.
Sorry
Three options:
- Stay in absolute mode and do some math. So you’re at X3Y1 and you want to move 7 to the right and 5 back, your just send G0X10Y6. If you wanted to move left and forward, you just subtract. You’re moving to a work position
- Use relative mode and remember to change back. Send G91 to enable relative mode, send G0X7Y5 to move 7 to the right and 5 back regardless of where you are. Then send G90 to go back to absolute mode.
- Use machine position. I’m guessing your machine is set up to use a positive XY workspace? Anyway, send G53 G0X2Y2 to go to MACHINE 2,2
