Re: [Emc-users] probe program
Thanks - I thought I had seen one (shouldn't try to remember fleeting technology references after the evening's glass of theraputic pinot!)

[Emc-users] probe program
A requirement has popped up for digitizing an object, so I started looking for a sample program to adapt. There is one reference in the wiki to a program called emcProbe, which is dated 2005. No (at least on the first few pages) references to that program show up on internet searches, and no alternatives show up in the wiki or on the forum. Is there a sanctioned sample probe program anywhere in the LCNC universe? Or is someone willing to share a program?

Thanks in advance -ldw Most such time killers are generally written by whoever has the itch, Lloyd. How long it takes is a function of the grid resolution you want, and to some extent the type of probe used. The only one I wrote was to copy the faces of a rifle magazine floor plate for an old P17 of mine that I thought might be a little easier to carry afield if I made an alu floor plate, thereby lightening a 14 lb monster to 13 lbs 15 oz. About a week into the project I balanced the books and the pieces are still in the shop drawer, in the white. I could carry one less spare round and lighten the load about the same, for a P.O. Ackley-06. Never needed more than 3 anyway that time was because I needed a sighter shot at 640 yards. I put the 2nd and 3rd rounds through him about 2 apart. He ate well. Nice rack too, wish I still had it. I still have the P17, but its due for the 2nd new barrel since then, 4000 rounds a barrel usually, but this one has some rust pits near the muzzle so its well on its way to another new Douglas now, but I'm about wore out too as I come up on 80yo this fall, so I'll likely let one of my boys worry about it.
