I just looked at the G-Code quick reference to see what the probing code was, and to see what parameters the answers are written to, when I noticed something at the bottom that I had never noticed before, you can write all the probe results to a file. http://www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html//gcode_main.html#sub:G38.2:-Straight-Probe So, I think you could do what you want with something like: #1 = 100 (Start Dia) F20 (PROBEOPEN filename.txt) O100 WHILE [#1 GT 0] G38.2 Z -100 G0 X0 #1 = [#1-3] G0 X #1 O100 ENDWHILE (PROBECLOSE) -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
