I had in mind emulating the concept with Linuxcnc and low-budget cameras and probes, not forking over for the German luxury model. I see on eBay cheap part locating cameras, like this:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/254714062831 and relatively cheap probes like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/333094733077 A swing arm like that Datron uses could be controlled with a beefy RC servo (swung against a mechanical stop for accuracy), and some python scripts could do the UI for picking the probing locations as the Datron video shows. -- Ralph ________________________________________ From: dave engvall [dengv...@charter.net] Sent: Friday, March 12, 2021 11:21 AM To: emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Nice camera/probe integration CAUTION: This email originated from outside the Walla Walla University email system.
