Work with probe

andypugh:

Can you explain what I am supposed to have set to allow this?

You mentioned that same link in a previous response, and I replied stating that I believe I have it set correctly.

I don't wish to sound ungrateful but I find some of the responses to questions on here to be helpful *if you know what you are doing* but to be less than helpful to a complete noob like me.

From what I can gather, I need to have features=8 to access the HAL?
I actually have features=30, which as a bitmask includes everything except "retain G43". So I don't believe that is the issue???

I REALLY think it's something in the compiled python files, reading comments on here people have stated that they needed to edit a couple of the .ngc macro files and change axis_2 to be axis_z (or vice versa, not near the Linux machine now).
I also had to make that change to the .ngc files.

From what I can gather the M6 remap uses a compiled python file, I believe it ALSO references the OLD name for the axis, be it 2 OR Z.
IF that is a correct assertion, what do I do about it to make the M6 remap button work?

My previous reply includes my HAL/ini and macro files.

This is really doing my head in, everything else is working except the M6 remap function.

I hope I explained my dilemma correctly? Any help (hand holding) greatly appreciated.

I think it is case-sensitive, so needs to be FEATURES = 30 and it also needs to be in the [RS274NGC] section of the INI file that you are loading.
(I mention that last part as I have many times edited the wrong INI or HAL and wondered why it wasn't working)

Thanks for the prompt response.

If you have a look at my attachment 4 posts above you'll see that it is indeed in caps, and is in the correct section.

Any and all ideas accepted, I will try anything.

Appreciate your input.

Good day.
1) Do you have any experience with "Touch probe Vers PR" vers.by/en/touch-probes/9-vers-pr.html . It works well?
Thanks for rating.

2) Is it possible to set other coordinates for a probe that is not in the spindle in the "Probe Screen"? I want a probe next to the spindle. Thank you

Some review of the Vers probe can be found here:

There I looked.
Thank you.
