TEACH-IN(1)

💖 TEACH-IN(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to TEACH-IN(1) — it's a manual page from the LinuxCNC fam and it's literally about teaching your machine where stuff is. so cute. so useful. let's get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

teach-in — jog the machine to a position, and record the state 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

teach-in [> outfile]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. redirect it somewhere if you want, or don't 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, teach-in is a script. a little helper. its whole job is to learn set positions so that another script can use them later. it's giving study buddy but for coordinates 📚✨

it pops up a dialog box for you, with options so you can choose the coordinate system. pick your fave, no wrong answers.

then — and this is the main character moment — every time you press the "Learn" button, it prints out one line of text. where does it go? to stdout, or to the file you chose at load time. your call, bestie 💖

and the line format is exactly this:

line-no X Y Z flood mist lube spindle

no cap. that's the order. don't shuffle it 🙈
