Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Manual touch plate probing after manual tool change

Daz, I went ahead and implemented your script on my machine with good results. Thank you for the assist! While I was getting some manual tool change success with the script I posted earlier in the thread (using the mc.mcCntlToolChangeManual), after the probe would run and the cycle start happened, every encounter of an I and J word would cause the machine to jump to unknown coordinates and make a sweeping arc. I guess Mach was loosing it's incremental reference point as a result of the mc.mcCntlToolChangeManual operation. Oh well, I'm abandoning that in favor of the mc.mcCntlCycleStop.
Now I just have to figure out how to get my Auto Tool Zero to function while in that mc.mcCntlCycleStop state.
