We have an issue where we are updating zero position on carbide motion v618 and v622 for a Shapeoko 3 XXL.
I updated zero on my computer and it worked as expected, then a new person got carbide installed and tried to set zero and every cut keeps going back to the previous zero that I set. Then I tried to set zero again to a new position on my computer and that has stopped working now too. Any idea why the zero position isn’t editable anymore?
Post screen grabs showing what you are seeing in CM?
Hmmm, difficult to understand.
You set your zero in Carbide Create, which is essentially just telling it where you plan to set zero on the machine. They are separate, and independent.
Are you connecting more than one computer with Carbide Motion to the machine?
The workpiece zero position is remembered by the machine, not by Carbide Motion.
I’m under the impression that zero’s were saved in the Shapeoko.json file within CM’s data directory, the last 3 lines to be exact.
This is correct. The zero location is not held in the machine itself.
I was under the impression that CM used G54 as the work coordinate system. Then I assumed CM used G10 to set the work offsets, which would store them in the G-code variables in GRBL.
GRBL does have variables to store Work offsets, Tool Length offset & last probe position.
