I made a few changes to your code and I think it should fix you up... My test mill is down so I can't test it here:(
To get the PROBE data you need to do a GetVar(2000) = X 2001 = Y 2002 = Z
Hope that helps
Brian


feed = getdro(18)
if suchsignal(22) then

code "g31 z-7 f35"     'seek the sensor fast
while ismoving()
wend

sensor = getvar(1002) ' getoemdro(85)  'get machine z position //check this line
pull back = sensor +.1     'add .1 to machine z

code "g53 g01 z" & pullback   'move z upto clear sensor
while ismoving()
wend

nextmove = getoemdro(85)  ' get new machine z position
move = nextmove - .11       ' set up for next machine move

code "f1"
code "g31 z" & move   ' slow sensor seek
while ismoving()
wend

ofst = getoemdro(1001)   ' get sensor height
code"G4P.2" 'Pause to let Mach3 update //Added a line here
call setdro(2, ofst)           ' set work z dro to sensor height

code "f" & feed              ' reset feed rate

end if

end

This is very doable... I would do this if I had more time I am in hopes that we could build up something like that in the next year or so.

If you would like to make it I have all the math

There are many things that can change the state of the pin. You could have some "stuff" on your braekout board that is changing the active high/ low satate. Also how you wire the switch will change this...

I just wire everything up and test by pressing the switch with my hand and looking at the LED's on the screen.

Try this
%+.2f


If you need to have NO +- you can use this %.2f

Hope that helps

You may have a normally closed switch on the limit switch that you have wired now. So the pins that you don't have wired up are seeing an open switch. To fix this you could do one of the following:
1.) Add more limit switches
2.) Deactivate the inputs under ports and pins
3.) Wire a jumper where the limit switch should be


You are doing good, you got it working on one

General Mach Discussion / Re: Is there a way to add fonts to the wizard?

« on: February 09, 2006, 04:27:40 AM »

No, the code needs to be added as VB code to make the letters and fonts....
