Hi,
First big thanks and respect to Ernie and BigTex for this great tool which makes life so so so much easier.
This my Metric version.
Denz's metric version i down loaded only changed some of the units to metric, it only altered the initial zero and tool change setup to metric units all the other probe functions were still in imperial units.
This version changes every probe function to metric, i,ve also made a few changes by adding a few constants at the start of the code to make it easier to change things like feedrate,travel amounts, retract amounts etc by just changing the setting in one place which then gets passed down thru the code where ever needed.
I use a lot aluminium on my machine and some times things can get a bit tight for room between cutter and top of part which doesn't leave much room for offset plates.
Because the part is metal i shouldn't need an offset plate and just need to touch part with probe wire and then referance from top of part.
With the previous version i had this was a problem because if you left the offset plate DRO set to zero it behaved strange.
So i,ve made it so that it works eithier with or without offset plate and still retracts and sets DRO's like if you used a offset plate.
I,ve tested every probe function extensively on my machine and it works perfect everytime. . . . BUT.!!
I,M NO PROGRAMMER SO TEST THIS YOURSELF . . . CAREFULLY.
I,ve got a few little changes i want to make but it works perfect as is, but i will keep tweaking it and post any updates that i make.
Cheers
Dean
