Hello everyone I would like to know if it is possible to connect a 3D part measurement probe to a black box? I would like to find the high point of a piece by measurement. If possible, how do I go about creating a macro that will scan the entire surface and give me the X Y coordinates of the highest point?
yes you can connect a probe like this one PGFUN CNC 3D Touch Probe Upgraded XYZ Axis Anti-roll Edge - Want It All then you need to program a macro in javascript to do the probing and find the highest point. There is already a body of work providing macros and help for them Getting started with Javascript Macros in CONTROL / Library of Macros created by the community
Many thanks The goal would be to create a parameterized program with the max dimensions in X and Y, the “theoretical” height. I'll have to get into javascript programming...
With the 3D part probe, I would like to find the high point of a piece by measurement. for surfacing a slab for exemple If possible, how do I go about creating a macro that will scan the entire surface and give me the X Y coordinates of the highest point?

Have a look at bCNC - it has a surface probing routine built in, and can auto-level to a probed surface. GitHub - vlachoudis/bCNC: GRBL CNC command sender, autoleveler and g-code editor
