This has been sat in my inbox awaiting a reply for the _longest_ time. I am curious about how the system knows what to do with the information? It _might_ be possible to do what you describe using existing functionality, depending on the hardware you are using. If you have encoders then both the software and the Mesa encoders have a "latch" input pin and output pins for position-latched and count-latched. This will store the position at which the latch pin is triggered, and that could be used for calculations by the system. So, you would need to connect the probe input to all the latch pins, possibly based on the motion state. (motion.motion-type == 5 when probing) Alternatively there are some probing guis that achieve much the same thing using actual probing. Though the best that I have seen is the Datron touchscreen interface: https://youtu.be/LjkH23umd-A?si=zO4DZmWOaE_0liq3 -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
