I am using EMC2 and Ubuntu 6.06 and would like to share my understanding of hooking up a touch-trigger probe with experts on this list.
The probe acts as a NC switch and is connected to pin 12 on the parallel port. In the HAL file, I add a line: net probe parport.0.pin-12-in => motion.probe-input (or net probe parport.0.pin-12-in-not => motion.probe-input). Not sure which one I should use. Is this all that is required? The other thing I'd like to check is whether I can probe when the switch goes from NC to open (G38.2) and vice versa. In other words, is it possible to probe fron Open to NC? Is G38.4 designed for this purpose? Thanks for any second opinion.
