I'm looking for some help writing a Fanuc Macro to calculate the center X, Y, Z position of a sphere using 4 points in space on a 5th axis Makino D500
I found some information online, but the formulas I'm finding use matrix math. Which I know very little about. My goal it to get the math worked out to put it in a fanuc macro long hand. There is no matrix function in Fanuc 31i as far as I know.
The point of this is to give the operator the ability to run this program and adjust the centerline of the 5th axis swing using parameters 19700, 19701, etc.
And help is appreciated.
Thanks
