Hi All - I use my Interface often and WISH that I could use my own Probe. I tried to edit the probe files on flash drive by removing the <offset> parameter. Threw an error. Then I replaced offset with a 0, "<0>"... still an error. I saw this note: 4.2 OpenBuilds Interface: Usage Instructions: Probing Note: At this time Interface only supports the OpenBuilds XYZ Probe Plus Please say this is old and there is a work around. TIA - Brad
Bummer... I have one but prefer to use a my Drewsonics s5000LED probe. Too bad the Interface is closed source. Having probe control without a PC tethered to the CNC would be AWESOME!!!
There is, upgrade your wetware with actual Gcode knowledge (-: The <offset> in the file is a variable and not part of standard Gcode. The Interface is replacing that text with the number that is defined for the offset, thus creating valid Gcode. So instead of putting <0>, put the actual number offset your probe needs. probing with Gcode G Codes sttting 0 after the probe G Codes
<offset> = probe + endmill radius so hardcoding an offset - one has to use same bit/dowel for probing then as endmill diameter menu was part of calculation.
Thanks Gents... I was so close! I overcomplicated this. G10 P0 L20 X-1.5875 = half of the 1/8" Ruby probe tip. So simple...
