Video P*r*o*b*i*n*g / Need help to get g code after probing an object
« on: April 13, 2010, 03:41:35 PM »
Hi,
I've played with CNC stuff for a couple years, but I'm relatively new to this and there's a lot that I don't understand.
I'm trying to play with probing and I'm wondering once I get the point cloud how do I get it to g-code so that I can cut it?
I bought a probe, mounted it on my router, set-up Mach 3, ran the program and now i have the x and y and z with numbers ( point cloud ).
NOW WHAT DO I DO!! ... I have been reading the posts all week but they were not really broken down on the steps to take.
Is there a tutorial somewhere that tells you how to get from the point cloud to g-code?
The steps i need to take would be much appreciated....thanx...Don ( I have Bob-Cad Cam )
