Greetings; Do I need to have run the machine to X,Y=0.000 before I program a G10 L2 P2 X#<offset> to set G55 to run at -0.1000 from the G54 positions? Or can I do that anytime the G5x mode is not in that specific mode?
Needle threader probe: Is working quite well, I even went Z-0.050 from contact, disconnected the probe and drug it across the pcb while it was turning 450 revs without leaving more than a slightly polished track in the pcb copper that I had to look really hard for. Another board wrecking problem solved. One could say that plan B is a huge success compared to plan A. ;-) Its a bit critical to bend straight enough when the touch hole is only 1/16th inch, a 3/32 hole would be just as functional and less critical to center up over before I run the holefinder routine. In that event, drilling .1" into the pallet might be advantageous in case I was really good at centering over the hole first so the probe didn't bottom in the hole as that would make it wobble worse and fatten the effective diameter of the loops conical contact form when its spinning. OTOH, if it does, at least it won't have to run very far to find the 4 corners of a supposedly round hole. ;-) I haven't tried the capacitor across the contact idea to stretch the closed detection, but I believe I probably should, enough to make any contact that discharged the capacitor look like at least a 10ms contact. I have had an occasion or 2 where the noise as I tried to move away enough to clear has caused a probe event while jogging message, so that part is a bit critical, but I am not damaging the board, so I can now make lots more mistakes without having to start over with a fresh blank and/or tooling. Once in a blue moon I manage to get an idea that works. ;-) Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
