Hello,
I am trying to use my CNC machine as a 2-axis coordinate measuring machine. I would like to be able to position the spindle (or a camera mounted to the spindle mount) above a feature of the object I wish to measure and record the X and Y coordinates of that position. I’d like to make a ChiliPeppr widget that records the current coordinates with the press of a button. After many measurements were recorded it would need to export that list as a file.
Has anyone already done anything similar to this? If not I would appreciate any guidance you might have in implementing this. I have only some Python scripting experience and would have to learn the JS (or css, html, etc?). Is there a widget with similar functionality that I could fork?
