Greetings all; In playing with some code I'll be using later today to carve some wood, I have a problem with running it on the simulator, no probe contacts available.
How hard would it be to add a 4 (or more) axis lookup table reference to the G38.2 probing routine, so I could set the locations where a simulated probe contact could be made? IIRC it can open a file (probeopen filename.ext) for writing to record what its doing on a real machine, so how about a named file for reading that contains the contact points it would trigger on when simulating? The reason for the named file is so I can spec two different contact locations as I contact 2 inside faces and the bottom of 1/2 a brass cube for one tool, and just a piece of pcb to reset the tool length by diddling z in the g55 mapping the rest of this nearly 400 LOC file uses for the 2nd tool. That would be best handled by named files, one for each contact assembly on the jig. This would be handier than bottled beer for the simulator version IMO. Any chance? Thanks all.
