hi Kim i've just done something like that for qualifying my converted mill:
http://homepage.bluewin.ch/andyfrommel/6101.html (sorry, it's still in german... but lots of pics) i selected the pin on the parport, where the prober was connected to, as the probe input and used the G38.2 command for probing. to get the coords you can make use of ' probeopen' i used this code snippet to qualify the probe itself by measuring the z-coord at the same xy pos 50 times. (PROBEOPEN ProbeCalib.txt) F#10 G1Z#5 O1 while [#4 lt #3] (Schleifen-Zähler < Anzahl) F#11 G1Z#6 (runter zu Anfangspunkt) F#12 G38.2Z#7 (runter bis Taster) G91 (Incremetal Mode) G1Z#8 (bisschen hoch) F#13 G38.2Z#9 (runter bis Taster) G90 (Absolut Mode) F#11 G1Z#6 #4=[#4+1] (inkrement Schleifen-Zähler) O1 endwhile (PROBECLOSE) (Logfile schliessen) i hope this gives you some light... br andy ----Ursprüngliche Nachricht---- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Datum: 24.09.2008 20:56 An: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)"<emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Betreff: [Emc-users] Touch probe functionality Hi all, Thinking of making a touchprobe, but Im missing the link between the probe itself and EMC controll. Is there a special piece of code that needs to be run to locate a corner (tell EMC to do the moves), or it this already know to EMC.. What about logging a point cloud.. is this something EMC can do..
