Nicklas, i think i presume too much edm experience, sorry for positioning, most edm systems use a low power sensing circuit really low, like 12 V at 100ma is plenty if you are positioning, this low power sense circuit is always in operation if you are cutting, the spark generator is in operation

"halcmd show pin" will tell you which pins actually exist. Is it possible that the HAL is trying to connect pins before they exist? With embedded tabs it is best to connect them up with a HAL file loaded by the -H option: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/man/man1/gladevcp.1.html On 23/12/2016,

Possibility to use the same is why I asked. TJ Powderly proposed some, I have manual for Sodick wire EDM and Charmilles ordinary EDM at home. I have never used an EDM machine but work profesionally with software development. 2016-12-23 12:24 GMT+01:00 Sarah Armstrong

Merry Christmas to all Iam presuming we could use the probe sequencing as a way to find centre of a hole , or find an edge in the same way as a mill , just inhibit any power or in the case of a wire keep it stationary is their any edm machines actually using gcode / m codes? perhaps we can use

I will look for the mcodes you uploaded. With g-codes I more or less thought about all the different letters although which letter to use is rather important. 2016-12-23 3:29 GMT+01:00 TJoseph Powderly : > Merry Christmas Nicklas > > On 12/23/16 05:12, Nicklas Karlsson wrote: >
