QtDragonHD tool sensor help for a maker space

i backed up the two files and replaced them with the ones i down loaded.
made tool zero for spindle in the tool page , tried m06 t0 and m06 t0 g43 in midi . also did the same as t99 .i got the same error results for all 4 attempts. also the go to tool setter button in versa probe i get a different error.      the button go to sensor in the bottom left side of the screen still works. i attached a couple screen shots showing the two errors i got and settings tab and utility tab.  let me know what other info you need. im probably over looking some thing right in front of me. i tend to cant find things when im looking.

You need to add the Z_MAX_CLEAR setting to the INI in the [VERSA_TOOLSETTER] section.

In fact it should look something like this numbers will be different of course:
For instance this is the sequence for go to tool setter button:
Travel to Toolsetter Action sequence:

• go to VERSA_TOOLSETTER Z_MAX_CLEAR Z position
• go to VERSA_TOOLSETTER XY position
• go to VERSA_TOOLSETTER Z position.

 
 

For versa probe routines - only the settings on the versa probe tab and the INI are used.
The setting in the utility and settings page are for different probing routines.

Code:

# where in absolute (g53) machine units to probe the tool [VERSA_TOOLSETTER] # tool setter position in x y z  (Z should be clearance) X = 300 Y = 300 Z = -50 # set Z lift when moving to the tool setter Z_MAX_CLEAR = 0 # tool setter diameter for diameter probing DIAMETER = 25 # maximum machine units to lower while probing MAXPROBE =  40 [i]For instance this is the sequence for go to tool setter button: Travel to Toolsetter Action sequence:[/i]

• Code:

  [i]go to VERSA_TOOLSETTER Z_MAX_CLEAR Z position[/i]
  • Code:

    [i]go to VERSA_TOOLSETTER XY position[/i]
    • Code:

      [i]go to VERSA_TOOLSETTER Z position.    [/i]

Z_MAX_CLEAR = 0
raise up to clear everything

Z = -50
should leave clearance for your longest tool
is so you don't have to probe from Z_MAX_clear

MAX_PROBE is the maximum it will probe down. it is a relative positive number.
ie where ever the probe starts it will move a max of this number down.


The reason I split up 'goto toolsetter' from 'probe height of current tool' is so if you have an extra long tool or an obstructed setup you can manually set the tool over the toolsetter and probe it.

Open to other ideas in the future of course.
Let me know how it goes,

One thing I forgot to ask.
Do you just make the spindle tool number zero?
