Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 probe settings
« on: June 21, 2016, 12:44:17 AM »
I have the following probe
http://www.ebay.com/itm/digitizing-probe-cnc-sherline-maxnc-taig-plasma-cutter-mill-router-engraver-tip-/160763530758
I'm trying to get it setup with my mill. I have it connected correctly as per the diagnostics screen reports. However when i go to probe an edge, the machine moves for a second and then I get an error saying "no contact with probe". I have G31 set in probe settings, but what would I set the other values too? I wasn't able to find a good baseline of values to work from for these entries
Slow measure feedrate
Fast find feedrate
Retract amount
Overshoot amount
In position tolerance
Thanks in advance for any information that can help me get this going correctly.
