Bottom Camera Position (Video Guide)

Now that we know the offset from the top camera to the nozzle, we can use the nozzle to set our bottom camera position.

  1. Navigate to Machine Setup > Cameras > OpenPnpCaptureCamera Bottom.

    Select the bottom camera

  2. Click on the Position tab.

    Select the position tab

  3. Select the Nozzle: N1 from the machine controls dropdown.

    Select nozzle from machine control dropdown

  4. Jog N1 until it's just barely touching the top surface of the datum board. It doesn't matter exactly where, we just want to move to the Z position of the datum board for setting the bottom camera position.

  5. While keeping the Z position the same, jog the camera over the bottom camera. Using the viewfinder in OpenPnP, center the nozzle tip in the image.

    If the nozzle tip is blurry

    If your nozzle tip is blurry when at this position, rotate the lens in the camera until the tip of the nozzle is sharp and in focus.

  6. With the nozzle tip sharp and in focus, click the "Capture Toolhead Location" button to capture the bottom camera position. Store the camera location

  7. Click the Apply button to save the new camera position.

    Save the camera location
