Diameter tool probing with toolsetter, basic probe

Hello,

I'm currently working with the probe and the toolsetter (Renishaw type).

Both work very well.

I'd like to be able to measure the tool diameter with the toolsetter.

I started looking into it and saw that this function isn't implemented. And to be honest, I don't really have the skills to do it myself.
Has anyone implemented this function?

Because there are different methods to measure diameter and different toolsetter types, it's a very per situation basis. You just need to write in the macro code for it. There is allot of previously functionality for it already in basic. Start by reading the rs274ngc code documents and looking over the existing subroutines for probing. It's really not too difficult if you have a decent gcode understanding. Nothing like writing program python for example.

The manual is short, look at the section reviewing subroutines. I have attached it for your reference. Also view the linuxcnc docs section regarding owords.

 
 

Thanks for the documentation and this details, I'll read it carefully.

As for G-code, I'll have to delve deeper into it; for now, I'm far from mastering it.
