I run Millmage on a Windows11 machine, connect via USB to my SKR Pro v1.2 running GRBLHAL, controlling my MPCNC.
The shown machine position is always right on spot (Move tab), but the Workpiece coordinates always show all zeroes.
Also, when using the GoTo tab within the Move tab, setting “Workpiece” slider off, then using the “Get X” button (also Y and Z) populates the numeric field. The same with “Workpiece” enabled does nothing.
And another thing that I believe might be related, when I want to go to Z0 in Workpiece mode (previously set with the “Z0” button), the machine behaves as if an operation has been finished and goes to the position specified in the end gcode option.
Is this something specific to my setup or has anybody else experienced this as well?
Or it might just be that I totally misunderstand the usage, if so, please point me to the relevant documentation, always willing to learn.
Thanks a lot

Does your machine process GRBL commands? If it does, Enter $$ in the Console window and tell us what the $10 parameter says.
Hi Mike.
Thanks for replying.
Yes, it does.
$10=1
so, if I read the $$=10 correctly, this will report the machine coordinates, which it does.
But how would I have the workpiece coordinates displayed as well?
Thanks for your help

If your controller plays nice, $10=3. On my CNC mill, $10=0 does the same.
Hi Mike
Thanks a lot, $10=0 did the trick.
Now I can see both, it all works.
Have a good evening.

Well, actually I was a little fast on the $10=0 did it.
I actually had to set it to 33 to give me both values, machine and workpiece.
0 only showed the workpiece coordinates, 1 only the machine, but 33 gives you both.
I am happy now.
33 instead of 3? Interesting.
