G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Re: support for touch probes

« on: November 23, 2009, 11:33:14 PM »

Have you looked in the downloads tab, plug-ins?  How about when you open Mach, wizards tab at top, digitizing wizard?  Member zarzul sells a touch probe in the bargin basement for $99 I think. There are a ton of custom auto zero scripts floating around. You can make one to do what ever you want if you can't find one that does already.

The offsets page in the standard 1024 set has many of the things your looking for I think, just need to write you some macros to use for a touch probe rather than an edge finder.

Look in the members docs board. I posted some info on a simple touch plate there.

Video P*r*o*b*i*n*g / Re: What Next?

Jason, I don't know yet myself but hopefully I will be able to help around the first of the year with this. I finally got my Digi camera a week ago but have some other things I have to finish before I can dive into the video probeing. Please post information as you find it as well. You can import the point cloud in Rhino I believe and then use a cam software to generate code from the model. I may be way off though as I have not tried it yet. You can also use Mach Cloud to view the point cloud I think.  It can be found in the downloads tab at the top of this page in the ArtSoft Recommended CAM Programs section.

That is handled by your motor tuning. If you decide to give it a try write down the settings before you adjust any thing so you can revert back if necessary.  Config. tab, motortuning is where you will find it.

Thanks Area51. I'm not sure how I missed this in August but thanks for the contribution. Generous acts like this by our members is one of the things that makes our forum great.    There is nothing better than people working together IMO.

If they are slaved the Refrenceing routine should take care of this for you. Are you running the parrallel port or other hardware?
