Ah..., this explains a lot. Surprisingly once I've done it right it works. Great work.
I quickly added the rapid find (double touch) by inserting two lines in the function TouchOff:
Code(string.format('G91 G' .. ToffProbeCode .. ' ' .. Axis .. ' ' .. PrepDistance .. 'F' .. ToffPrepRate), true)
TouchRetract(Axis, Direction * -1)
Code(string.format('G91 G' .. ToffProbeCode .. ' ' .. Axis .. ' ' .. PrepDistance .. 'F' .. ToffProbeRate), true)
A calibration in my opinion is not necessary. The only thing that you have to know is the diameter of the probe, that can easily be measured with a slide gauge.
In the future I would prefer having the TouchOff UI dialog integrated in the main screen.
Thanks, Steve
