Update, received responce from CNC ROUTER PARTS! I have tried this all seems to work. Did get and error on the conclusion of zeroing, however when I entered the MDI G0 x0 y0 z0 it went right to the corner that I zero'd.
Thanks to CNC Router Parts for the Help.
We aren't officially supporting Mach4 yet but this will allow use of our touch plate in the interim. Instructions for installation and use are below.
1. In the C:/Mach4Hobby/Modules folder, there is a file named mcTouchOff.lua. Rename this to mcTouchOff.lua.bak so there is a backup of the original file.
2. Download the attached mcTouchOff.lua file and place in the C:/Mach4Hobby/Modules folder
3. Start Mach4, open the Touch GUI ("Touch" button)
Notes for use:
-In the "Settings/Options" column, those options not applicable for CNCRP's touch plate have been disabled. The Touch Plate Height should be set to 1.
-Under "Functions" the Center and Angle buttons are disabled as they are also not applicable for our touch plate.
-The "Z Only" and corner buttons work as they do in Mach3.
-To use the edge buttons (Top, Bottom, Left, & Right), set the touch plate against the work piece. Pressing the button, it will first probe in the Z direction (but WILL NOT set Z height, it's only used to position the tool for the next probe move) and then probe in the X (for Left / Right) or Y (for Top / Bottom) direction.
Let us know how this goes for you.
