Move machine to coordinate

[zapbrannigan]

I have a laser crosshair which I use to find the corner of my workpiece. How do I get the x and y axis to move back a predefined amount?
So as an example, when I have visually found the edge, press a button and x moves back 10mm and y moves -7mm.

Thanks.

Switch to relative distance mode, move, switch to absolute distance mode.

Code: Select all

List<string> codelist = new List<string>(); //Create a new List of strings.
codelist.Add("G91"); //Add g-code lines to the List.
codelist.Add("G0 X10 Y-7");
codelist.Add("G90");
exec.Codelist(codelist); //Execute the List of g-codes.
while (exec.IsMoving());

Cool. Thanks.
So I need to place a new button on the screen and assign that code to it?

Yes.

What does the hashtag mean? codelist.Add("#5 = 12.23");

Taken from the help file in UCCNC folder:

List<string> codelist = new List<string>(); //Create a new List of strings.
codelist.Add("G0 Z-25"); //Add g-code lines to the List.
codelist.Add("M3");
codelist.Add("G1 X0 Y0 F500");
codelist.Add("#5 = 12.23");
codelist.Add("G1 X#5 Y2");
exec.Codelist(codelist); //Execute the List of g-codes.

EDIT: nevermind. It looks like a constant declaration. Thats what Im going with anyway.
