I recently hooked up a probe to my machine at a certain location on the table when I change a tool it will go and measure the tool height and adjust it. It works great. After repeated trials I find it is only sometimes off by half a mil to a mil most and it is soooo convenient! When it works...
I ran my first gcode program with it and the first few tool changes it worked great. At one point I couldn't fit the tool back in (bad tool change location) so I had to stop the program, raise the head to put it in. I clicked "run from here" before the extern sub call but emc2 wouldn't run it. It ended up drilling a ¾" hole through my part with a rapid move...luckily I was testing with machine wax and not aluminum. I touched off and continued to do the test run but even on the next toolchange it wouldn't run the ext sub. Any ideas why emc2 would stop running it?
