Feature Requests / Re: Edge probing

« on: July 04, 2011, 10:08:42 AM »

So the story changes a bit. Neither Stirling Crawler OR the arrays will work with AJAX. Ajax is a hybrid of mach3 AND not all things work the same.

Stirlings Crawler is a work of art and works FINE here with a standard version of MACH3.

SO you should be over at the AJAX forum having THEM fix your problems after all THEY are the ones that created their VERSION and MADE the money off of you so THEY should be the ones to fix your G331 problem.

OH thats right they don't ever FIX their problems do they ?

SORRY about your luck, (;-) TP

There are only 2 that I know of . Stirlings "crawler" and the G31probingArrays.

10 footers work fine. Tape the connections  to keep dust/moisture out.

I stand corrected the last version was V2.01 Int and Ext.

There are 2 Macros M1299 and M1289 one for each of the arrays In/Out.

That was years ago and 1000s of programs down the road(;-)

IT still should work fine today, give it a whirl.

The last version was V1.01 it always worked fine so no need to do anymore updates. There is also a manual here somewhere with pictures and drawings. The arrays are completely programable as to provide for the best coverage. Multiple scans can be run and the points appended to the main point file.

There should be a M1299 macro that is used to program the arrays. The array runs in Gcode so there is NO vb weirdness to interfere. I have run countless probing operations totalling many hundreds of thousands of cycles without fail.

NOW that was with older versions of MACH, the newer versions ?? (;-)

There is NOTHING wrong with mach creating point clouds, IT works just fine BUT it is NOT instant oatmeal. It takes more than a minute to create one.

The code"G4P2" dwell is NOT for a vb macro it is for a gcode file.

Use the While Ismoving() wend to separtate the functions AND keep them in time order.

DoButton( 24 )
WhileIsmoving()
Sleep(20)
Wend
SetVar(5223,0)
WhileIsmoving()
Sleep(20)
Wend
DoButton( 23 )
WhileIsmoving()
Sleep(20)
Wend
DoButton( 22 )
WhileIsmoving()
Sleep(20)
Wend
DoButton( 25 )
WhileIsmoving()
Sleep(20)
Wend

Sure it just means you loaded a sub instead of a program. (;-) TP
