Encoder module, get Position in Phyton script
Hi, I am switching from mach4 to simcnc. For a tool changer macro I need to get the exakt spindle position. I have an IP-A with enc. module. How can I get the encoder position in the m6 phyton script?
Thanks
Johannes
# Axis index mapping for d.getPosition(CoordMode.Machine)
X = 0
Y = 1
Z = 2
A = 3
B = 4
C = 5
# Read current machine position of all axes
position = d.getPosition(CoordMode.Machine)
spindle_X = position[X]
spindle_Y = position[Y]
spindle_Z = position[Z]
print("Spindle position (machine coords): X={:.3f} Y={:.3f} Z={:.3f}".format(
spindle_X, spindle_Y, spindle_Z
))
chould print the position of your spindel in the chat
here my code for tool change

enc_module = d.getModule( ModuleType.ENC, 0 ) ch0_position = enc_module.getEncoderIOPosition( 0 )
