Solidcam/Solidprobe was created by biqut2

Just wanted to chime in to say I've been using ncgui macros for probing for a while now but on a whim decided to start adding LinuxCNC compatible probing routines into my Solidcam postprocessor. I've spent an afternoon tirelessly typing away at the keyboard. If anyone is interested I'm happy to share and give back to the community. Also, proofreading to correct what I am sure are numerous typos is always a good thing too. Last but not least, if anyone is knowledgeable and knows of a more efficient way to write/organize the code that can't hurt either.

You should post it here, someone might find it useful and help with it.
Thank you.

I definitely will. It'll be this afternoon before I can get to my laptop again.wasnt sure if it'd be better to just copy and past the code or upload it to a repository for editing.

Here is what I typed up yesterday. Got out to shop to test some of it tonight and the z touch, x touch, and y boss work as expected. They had a few typos that I had to correct so I fully expect there to be others as well.

EDIT: 2018/11/28 updated code

Code:

;------------------- LINUXCNC 2.7 - PROBE SECTION BEGIN

@start_probe
	;feed_rate defined in solidcam, change other values to suit
	probe_feed_rate = feed_rate
	search_feed_rate = 15
	rapid_feed_rate = 60
	latch_distance = 0.050

        if bTlchg
	    spin = 0
            call @usr_ct
            bTlchg = false
        endif

Everything works great, thank you for your work! Have you printed the functions for measuring holes and arcs yet?
@prb_cyc_hol_cyl & @prb_cyc_angle??? These features are sorely lacking.
