Back to the task at hand, I have downloaded and built the probekins source. Comp'ing probekins.c into 2.6.0 doesn't seem to work.
So, if probekins loads properly, how do I know? Some things that are unclear to me. #1. Will a properly loaded mesh be depicted in the axis view, or will it display flat as normal? #2. If I want to use stlvis, how do I obtain matplotlib? The directions - $ sudo apt-get remove python-matplotlib $ sudo apt-get install easy_install $ sudo easy_install matplotlib dont work on my machine, I can't find easy_install, nor can I find matplotlib. #3. Is there a proper time to load the mesh? Before/After?? starting linuxcnc?? #4. In the documentation wiki, it says - Example Assume you have a mill with a 10in x 10in x/y usable area. You probe the workpiece at a few irregular points, the resulting x/y/z values are stored in a file called probe.txt and look like so: -100 200 0.5 210 -120 0.2 -150 111 2.1 -44 -121 1.2 -12 180 1.4 I simply do not get this. How does -100 200 0.5 represent an area in a 10x10 workarea? In my mind, this represents x-100 Y200 Z0.5 which is approximately 190 inches away from the workspace?
