PCB drilling
Setup the GCode for drilling an already etched PCB in offset, orientation and scale.
The Camera must be setup already to go on with the following steps.
The following pictures are showing a printout, not a real etched PCB.
Inside the GCode, two teachpoints (fiducials) needs to be selected (they should be as far away from each other as possible) and assigned in the camera view. With this assignment the code will be rotated and scaled to match the camera view.
For an automatic recognition of teachpoints they must be round or rectangular - without any conductor track.
Load the file, e.g. by drag and drop
Remove offset, mark 1st teachpoint by clicking into 2D-view
Switch to 'Cam coord.', enable shape recognition if needed, 'Select filter set' to load other parameter set if recognition result is not ok.
Use mouse wheel to zoom into picture, press 'Space' on key board to hide 2D view
Press right mouse button, select 'Set actual pos. to marker pos.' to apply offset to cam coordinate system.
Select 2nd teachpoint in GUI 2D-view
Move to 2nd teachpoint in camera view and center the mark.
Press right mouse button, select 'Compensate angle and scale' to rotate and scale GCode to match 2nd teachpoint.
Now the system is ready to start drilling
