I saw the Wildhorse Innovations touch probe at Steve Stallings' PMDX booth at the CNC Workshop. Of course, he was working with Mach there.
I see EMC has some grid probing and such routines, but the most common thing I'd do with it is to find the edge of a part. Does anyone have a routine for finding the X-Y edge that way? The way I would probably want it to work is you would move to some convenient point near the -X -Y corner, and then it would move to the -X edge at the same Y coord, and then find the -Y edge at the same X coord. I guess there could be a bunch of routines depending on the specific setup, where the vise or clamps are, etc. But, then it would set the coordinate system the same way as using the Axis touch-off button. The routine would need to know the diameter of the probe ball. It looks like there is a hole finding routine in the nc_progs directory, but it has no comments to help determine how it works. Anybody know where some description of it is?
