Work with probe

I'm afraid I'm going to have to suspend work on this project for a few months.I ran the probe_z_minus_wco.ngc and although I don't know why, this is what happened.   


Not repairable.  Ordered a new one.
 

ouch...I feel your pain.

I programmed a tool touch-off at 500ipm recently with similar results.

Ouch is right. I shattered the steel shaft on a small probe once and almost crashed my big probe (Hallmark ITTP Probe).

This is the code I added:
ACTION.CALL_MDI("#[4000 + [#5220]] = [#5063 + #[5203 + [20 * #5220]]]")

What is odd is that when I include the probe length I was getting an odd value in #4001. It seems that this probe code is somehow already accounted for in the probe length. I still need to go back and check the numbers but at least it is updating the parameter.

I made this change in probe_routines.py

Thanks. I'll take a look.

Just got back from a social visit to a machine shop with 3 HAAS. He's done commercial work for me before but is now retired and just sits and visits with people.
Showed him the broken probe photos. We all laughed. He said that's why he didn't have a probe because an apprentice would likely toast it and he'd be out $4K for the real one.

None of the folders for my AXIS linuxCNC has probe_routines.py.

Really didn't like not having a Z probe and having to wait up to 4 weeks before a new one arrives.  I'd like to solve my problem before I forget what I was doing and have to start again.

So first.  I made a probe. 
 

Then I took a look at the "probe_z_minus_wco.ngc" file and started thinking about how the parameters were set up or for that matter if they aren't provided what is used?

So I changed "_psng_probe_z.ngc",  which calls  "probe_z_minus_wco.ngc", to provide all 15 parameters and added additional diagnostic print statements in "probe_z_minus_wco.ngc".

Now it behaves... almost. 

Here's the output.

I have no idea where the ERROR: index out of range comes from.Any suggestions?
