Manual moving always send G20 Codes

[Miggi68]

Hello I am out of Germany and we are always working in mm. So could you add an "initialisation" Code at the beginning "Set Units" [G21] for inch or [G20] for mm and remove th unit code out of Manual control commands. then at the beginning I could set the Units (as Default) to G20 and the System could work with mm (or if there is G21 in inches)

This would be very very very helpful.

@Miggi68 If you look on the right hand side you will see in the state box Units that will select Metric or Inch Also to jog in metric you need to check the tickbox to the left of the directional arrows. When you jog the code has G21 in the line sent to your controller Once these are set in GRBL panel they will remain always on

[gerritv]

I think what might help is if I take the $ setting returned from Grbl and use it to set jogging defaults accordingly. Michael, Is that the intent you are asking? Or are you suggesting that I set things based on seeing G20 or G21 in the Gcode that Is sent to Grbl?

[Mac2712]

Michael Its G21 for metric and G20 for inches.

[Miggi68]

I have to check this tomorrow. But I am sure that I set the combobox on the right side to "Metric", but When I use the arrow keys, the x,y,z values always increase 2.54 inches.

So, if I set the parameter on right side (or in GBRL) to metric, It would be Wonderful, that by pressing an Arrow button, that the steppers move 1 mm ( or x 0.1, 0.01) and so on... Here it is now 22:43 MECT ... I am looking for the answers tomorrow morning

Thank you all.

Michael

@Mac2711: you are right G20 is inch and G21 mm

[Miggi68]

Ups ... what means closed

[gerritv]

Ah, I think the issue is Grbl setting $13. This defaults to 1 for reporting in Inches. You need to set that to 0, then all reports from Grbl are in Metric. You also need to check/set the box in Jogging panel on the Settings page. The box labelled State/Units will send a G20 or G21 but that will not change what units is sent in Jogging.

@pbtllc some clues might help me?? What version of Grbl? Are you connected to Grbl? What is in the Status area? @jahnj0584 GrblPanel does that automatically so there is something else wrong with their set up.

[pbtllc]

It is the latest updated one. Why does none of the older older ones not work too?

I can't help you if you can't provide information.

[Miggi68]

O.k. I tried now .. If i set $13 to 0 (Report iches = false) then I got 2.54 mm / joggle press If I set $13 to 1 (Report Inches = true) then I got 1.000 mm / joggle press

Is it possible, that this has the exact wrong order?

greetings Michael

P.S. I forgot to tell that I use Grbl 1.1 - the latest. But because of pbtllc´s Problem?!, another Software also didn´t work with the latest grbl.... perhaps you also have to update your grbl Panel.

[Miggi68]

NOW all is working :

My "Problem" was to set the checkbox [x] Metric on Settings page at [Jogging] groupbox. And now also $13 =0 works fine .. I didn´t saw this Checkbox , sorry

Summary:

German Users should set 3 different things:

[Mainpage] Units = METRIC [Settings ] [x] Metric at Jogging area [Grbl-Parameter] $13 = 0

@Miggi68 Glad it is working for you now. The combination of options can be confusing! re:

GrblPanel works for 0.9x and 1.1, it doesn't work with 0.8 or earlier. It is also common for users to connect to the wrong COM Port. Gives that symptom but since they didn't actually answer the questions I can't tell.

[pbtllc]

When I get home I'll try all these suggestions and take some screen shots. Thanks for the help. I can't remember the latest version, but I think is is 1.0.?.12 that came out several days ago. Thanks again.

@pbtllc It is the Grbl version that is important. If it is not 0.9x or 1.x (e.g. 0.8) then it won't work. Also there are Grbl variants that don't work. A more likely scenario is that you are not connecting to Grbl at all but to another Com port on your PC. Click on the drop down showing Com Ports to see if there is more than one.

[pbtllc]

vers. is 1.0.9.12

[pbtllc]

[gerritv]

@pbtllc Ok, will take a look later today. Thx

[hansmbakker]

@gerritv: not meaning to hijack the thread, but with the latest grbl v0.9 and grbl-panel 0.9.11 and 0.9.12 I have the same problem that grbl-panel can't read the grbl settings into the settings table. When switching on verbose you can see the settings in the feedback from grbl though.

[gerritv]

@pbtllc , @wind-rider I fixed the No Settings problem.
