Offset zero macro HELP PLEASE...
Posted: Sun Mar 12, 2023 1:59 pmI have a couple of Stepcraft 420 D2s one with a Laser (DL445) and it has always been temperamental with the laser pointer. This is well known.
So instead of keep messing around I have designed and built a 3D printed version that consist of a clip, CR2032 switch and 3v laser dot module. (picture attached)
I have created and etched a zero reference point and them aligned my laser dot to it which is located at an offset of x=35.84 y-18.34.
I am using UCCNC version 1.2111 and have not bothered up upgrade as it works fine. I always run on the premise that if it does need fixing don't fix it.
[Q] Is it possible to set one of the M buttons I.e. M2 so that I can program the offset x-y coords and when I click the button it moves the head to that location. This is obviously so I can use my added laser pointer to zero the main cutting laser.
If so would someone be kind enough to detail how I go about it?
