Mach4 General Discussion / Please help me make the touch-off feature work.

« on: July 19, 2019, 01:28:49 AM »

hello!
so i built my plasma table with a floating head feature and i have been trying everything to make the touch off feature work on this damn thing but i just cant!

i have a c11g breakout board with an ess smooth stepper and using sheetcam, i know mach 4 has the new plasma screen and it has a lot of thc features, and in mach 3 sheetcam has a lot of post processors that help incorporate the touch off feature within the g-code script. mach 4 and mach 3 are completely different so some of there post processors dont work. can some one explain to me with great detail how i can make this touch off work!plzzzzzzzz. is there a post processor needed for this to work sheetcam (which doesnt exist at the moment), or do i need to download something from warp9 (ess) that im missing? or am i bnot setting up somethig correctly in my mach 4?
i have my probe input set to the correct pin.
