GOOD MORNING
I downloaded the G31 Probing Arrays macro from the MACH TOOL BOX section
I installed "M1299.m1s" then I launched "G31ExtPolArrayV2.01.txt" and it gives me an error
I corrected the first line M1289 with M1299
Gcode starts but when the "G1Z3110" line is reached the Z axis goes to the end of its stroke.

given its usefulness it would be possible to correct it
I use version 3.043.062
I thank those who can help me
-
Yes, well that line tells z to move up to 3110 mm! So it's doing what the code tells it to. Looking a few lines above maybe the 3 should be # ?
-
YEP the 3 == #
(;-) TP
-
thanks for the reply, the macro has improved
now it starts goes into position it goes down then it goes up again and it stops
I don't know maybe the problem is that I have a Chinese card?
-
Apart from correcting that error with the Z move, have you corrected the obvious 122 = fix[# 122] ? Note the spurious space between # and 122.

There could be other simple errors too given that these only needed a quick look to see.

JohnHaine thanks for the help, I did as recommended but still have the same problem
-
I notice that the macro you posted first starts:
(G31 External Polar Array V2.01)
M1289
M40
However the macro it calls first, M1289, is not correct, it should be M1299! This has been pointed out elsewhere on the forum.
Was the code you downloaded like this? It's very careless.
-
I have renamed the macro M1299, the probing starts from the center goes to the beginning of the probing the Z goes down then goes up and stops everything and tells me the machining is finished. programming I do not understand but I assume that there is some problem in writing the macro
-
this code has to in M1299.M1s in your macro folder:
' G31 Polar Array Calibration Macro V1.00
Xpos= getdro(0)
Ypos= getdro(1)
Pspeed= Question (" Probe Feed Rate")
Rleg= Question ("Input Max Leg Length")
Linc= Question ("Input leg Separation Angle")
SafZ= Question ("Input SafeZ Height")
Phgt= Question ("Input Safe Probe Height")
Spnt= Question ("Input start point in DEG, zero is x axis 3oclock")
Tdeg= Question ("Input Total Arc Width of Array in DEGs")
Nrep= (Tdeg / Linc)
Setvar (100 , Xpos)
Setvar (101 , Ypos)
Setvar (102 , Rleg)
Setvar (104 , Linc)
Setvar (108 , Nrep)
Setvar (109 , Pspeed)
Setvar (110 , SafZ)
Setvar (111 , Phgt)
Setvar (103 , Spnt)
Code " F#109"
End
and this is the GCode you have to run (it will call M1299)

bbut i have no ideas what it will/should do.

Good morning
perhaps I have not explained myself well, in summary
I renamed M1289.txt in M1299.m1s and installed in MACH3 \ MACROS \ MACH3MILL, the problem is this:
I launch the program
he asks me for the various parameters
asks me where to save the tripletfile
starts the machine positions itself for the descent
goes down
goes back
at this point it tells me the finished work.
-
var 121 and 122 are nowhere calculated
-
Oops! How true!
This macro seems to be a complete mess.
-
as mentoined earlier: no ideas what it will/should do
-
TPS thanks for the reply, I state that I do not understand programming, the array is taken from the site under download / mach tool box
in theory it should probe the outside of a piece, I don't know if I'm having problems or it's the macro, too bad it would have been useful !!
-
this script will not probe a outside of a part.
may this:

http://www.craftycnc.com/probe-it-wizard-mach3/
is what you are looking for.
-
Well it probed parts for about 10 years inside and out BUT the code in the toolbox may not be a good copy of the script.
(;-) TP
-
I take that back it is over 17 years old now. I drug out the old PC that ran it and pulled off a copy for you to try. Notice the last modify date 2004 (;-)

thanks BR549 I tried it works fine !!!!
