Consider setting this up so that "sensed edge of material" counts as a probe trigger for G38.2 probing moves.
Then, your program could * place the machine in mdi mode * do several mdi commands involving G38.2 "probe" movements * use the status buffer to determine the machine's position when the probe movements complete e.g., G0 X0 Y0 Z0 G38.2 X### F10 (probe result is edge of material in X; record value) G0 X(probe result - small amount) G38.2 Y### F10 (probe result is edge of material in Y; record value) Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
