And I am wondering if it could be made for the the simulator again. Based on motion.motion-type changing to a 5 indicating a probing operation was being done, and taking note that the sim has no connection between the probe being performed and the probe being detected. So it runs to the end of the requested motion and errors out, so developing probing routines isn't terribly practical in the simulator.
So I had added, in the sims .hal file, a comparator to detect the motion-type as = 5, and used that to start a 1 or 2 second timer, which when it ran out, pulled the probe line true/low. This of course is only arbitrarily accurate, but does allow such coding to be developed and pretested from the office chair. ISTR I also had that interlocked with the motion-type=5 too, so that touch at speed, backaway, then touch at creep speed could be done as we commonly do for max accuracy. Worked great for testing such code before shipping it to a machine where it was needed. But now its gone, and has been gone long enough none of my backups would have a copy. Locally, amanda has a 30 day recovery, then the "vtape" is re-used. >From the above description, can this wheel be re-invented and made part of the simulations available? I found it quite handy.
