TinyG can't set work Zero #427

Closed Splocal closed 8 years ago

Splocal commented 8 years ago

I've had a problem setting work Zero while using my TinyG cnc controller. I can jog the machine but even manually inputting G0X0 for instance does not move my axis to zero. Does anyone else have this issue with TinyG?

Do other commands work? Can you send a file? Anything in the console when sending a command?

Splocal commented 8 years ago

I tried multiple commands input manually some would work and others nothing.

You could try using JSON wrapped commands like {"gc":"g0 x0"}. Described on the TinyG wiki: https://github.com/synthetos/TinyG/wiki/JSON-Details

Thanks, I'll give that a try. Is this a known Issue with UGS and TinyG? I was hoping to use UGS for my larger Gcode files as Chilipeppr locks up when my file is too large.

I am thinking I can zero my machine with chilipeppr and then Load a file in UGS and let it run. I won't have all the functionality of chilipeppr but if it can successfully complete a Gcode file than I would be satisfied with it.
