For you John? I don't know! 

I have chatted with Benny and in a month or so I think you are going to see a Wizard for reverse engineering. I am going to do the code and Benny will do the graphic. I think this is going to be a ton of fun to code up

Try this :

Zmove = 1.5 'amount the tool will move down to hit the probe
Zpos = GetDRO(2)
Tool = GetDRO (24)
ZOffset = .5 'enter height of probe here

   OldZpos = Zpos
   ZPos = Zpos - ZMove
   Code "G31 Z" & ZPos & " F20.0"
   While IsMoving()
   Wend
   Zpos = GetVar (2002)
   If Zpos = OldZpos - ZMove Then
      responce = MsgBox ("ERROR! The tool did not hit the probe and DRO was not set" , 4 , "Probe ERROR!" )
   Else
      SetDRO (2,ZOffset)
   End If
   
Code "G00 G53 Z-.1"

To use it place the probe under the tool and press the button (the first time press it with your finger off to the side) please see the notes in the macro

Thanks
Brian

This script is for running a probe off the side of the part. I wrote that some time ago as an example of how you could write a probe macro. SO I think it would be best if we write you a new cycle that will work the way you would like.

That is an addon so it is not part of it That also is not Art's work...

Hope that helps

Be sure that you have the Tap file in the Mach3/Subroutines directory.

That should do it

It is not pressure that is the problem... It is doing stuff for the greater good! If there are people that will use it I will build it. IF only one is going to use it I am better off working on an other project.

I will do about anything to help keep people having fun and making chips:)

Thanks
