Mach may have a different format, and is crippled by the lags in its usb interfacing. For linuxcnc, which can, even in sw, register a hit in well under 50 u-secs, has no such problems.
Hook it up to where ever you have the probe input for the G38.2 etc connected in your hal file. One of my machines has a 5i25 card, and that logic connection is: GO704fast.hal:net probe.sense hm2_5i25.0.gpio.003.in_not motion.probe-input # signal source is p3-15 (all one line above) Another, using the parport and software stepping is: my-mill-atom-3.hal:net probe parport.0.pin-15-in-not => motion.probe-input You may or may not need the '-not'. Both of those inputs here have a pullup resistor in the 5k to 10k range pulling to 5 volts when the probe is not making contact with a grounded object. Also a smallish tantalum capacitor is used to store a momentary contact long enough that it registers to linuxcnc on the first contact of a spinning object, it improved the center of the hole repeatability by about an order of magnitude, so that whatever error is left is lost in the backlash comp. This probe, which may have a separate logic supply, in which case feed it some 5 volts and ground, meaning there is a possibility its logic output is upside down. Using a halmeter, watching motion.probe-input, which should be false when its not touching anything, and true if you deflect it with a finger. Adjust your use of -not accordingly. > > -----Original Message----- > > From: John Thornton [mailto:[email protected]] > > Sent: Saturday, August 13, 2016 1:13 PM > > To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) > > Subject: Re: [Emc-users] snagged touch probe on eBay - anybody know > > how to interface ? > > > > I bought this one > > > > http://deepgroove1.com/stainlessprobe/stainlessprobe.htm > > > > After taking it apart one day and pressing the contacts to the > > shoulder it seems as good as my BP series 1. > > > > JT > > > > On 8/13/2016 12:39 AM, Valerio Bellizzomi wrote: > > > is this probe good ? > > > > http://www.ebay.com/itm/142053837865?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&; > > _trks > > > > > id=p3984.m1436.l2649 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > >---- -------- What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
