Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Mach4 Build 5036 - where did the Probe Calibration Tab go & MACH4 crashes
« on: April 02, 2023, 06:26:02 AM »
Hello Craig,
I'm afraid I didn't describe my problem precisely enough. My problem is not my CNC control. I use Pokeys57CNC and it also works wonderfully with the current release of MACH4. My connected 3D measuring probe also works. With the new probing dialog of the current MACH4 release, for example, I can easily determine the center of a hole. In the current MACH4 release, this works either with the probing dialog or with the dialog behind the touch button. So far so good.
What I didn't find: how can I calibrate my 3D touch probe? It seems like there isn't a function for it anymore. And I don't want to rely on the manufacturer's information (2mm diameter of the measuring tip). There was a calibration feature in the 4xx builds.
So the idea was to export this dialog from the 4xx build and import it into the current build. Unfortunately MACH4 crashes during import.
I'm probably just blind and don't see the one button that leads me to calibration....
