I've only tested with EMC, so obviously you'll need to carefully test with Mach3 otherwise many broken bits will result. Zen Toolworks LLC • View topic - SOLVED ... holding PCB's flat, or not!

Hi Lee,
.... on the link you provided (
Zen Toolworks LLC • View topic - SOLVED ... holding PCB's flat, or not!)
you say this...
"Usage: pcb-probe <infile> <outfile>
The infile should be the etch file from pcb-gcode"
then this...
"Please let me know how it goes. I've only tested with EMC2, I would be interested to know if it works in Mach3."
I'd like to try this in mach3, but for the life of me, I don't know how to use your perl file within Mach3!! I have my pcb-gcode output file...I load it into MAch3....but how do I get your perl file to act upon the pcb-gcode file from within Mach3?
Grateful how this would work in practise ....for example do I start MAch3, then run the perl file from within it somehow....will mach3 then prompt me etc etc..
