Mach3 Auto Zero Tool Touch Probe Corner Finding

[@GotItMade]

Dude, that thing is super cool. Thanks for sharing!

[@edalton1107]

Oh yes! I am glad you like it Feddie! cool piece of code for sure we are working on another version of the code that will allow us to zero tapered end mills as well so stay tuned for that!!

This code works GREAT. Thanks Guys.

[@AllenMassey]

Nice video! I am glad others are using my code. I have already had 4 people email me asking for it.

[@charlesyork4461]

i am trying to get my edge finder programed and cant find code. is this something you can email to me?

[@Clyberful]

Hello. Where can i get the edge finder and the code ?

[@Clyberful]

Hello can you share the code pls?

[@tomlockwood5335]

I would love to use this, but unsure of how to install. I have the triple edge, but no instructions. Could you send me the code and some instructions how to install.

Great Guy, great video, amazing support! thanks!

Thanks for great video, this is I have a lot of benefit. My machine (pt6012) has zero tool function, but I wonder whether this touch probe from step craft can be automatically installed on my machine running Mach3 and it's hard to get itThe Touch Probe device was designed to expand the capabilities of the Stepcraft CNC System by allowing you to be able to precisely locate starting positions for various objects that you wish to machine. Additionally, the Touch Probe can be used to 3D scan an object by systematically locating many points (more or less depending on the accuracy that you set) and creating a 3D “point cloud”. This point cloud can then be brought into software where it can be manipulated and converted into a 3D object such as an .stl file. This file can then be loaded into the Stepcraft CNC and be used to carve and object to create a duplicate model. The Touch Probe can also be used to scan an uneven surface to allow the Stepcraft CNC to cut, carve, or engrave along that uneven surface, i.e. you can engrave text along a curved surface.The Touch Probe was designed to work with a Stepcraft CNC running UCCNC software. The Touch Probe can be used with other CNC systems and software but Stepcraft would not be able to support such installations.The installation software that comes with the Touch Probe will install several macros and a new screen set for UCCNC. Custom buttons will now appear on the UCCNC screen to manage various functions for the Touch Probe.

they sell the plates on amazon now , I just have no idea how to set up the wizard

[@akira-hz4te]

Can you share a link to the code?

[@redem.greece]

Hi my friend, nice work. How about the half diameter of tool? Like that your tool start out of working part or i mistake? I make my own right now but i can't make to stop after the length i put to probe, still working it. You have any idea about it?

[@IcanCwhatUsay]

Hi I emailed you for the code but got no response. Where do I find the code used in this video?

[@IcanCwhatUsay]

Ok well Fuck this guy. He doesn't want to hold up to his claims that he'll share so whatever. if you want the code here you go. I'm using the touch off plate available on ebay from Blue OX. If you need help finding him, let me know. There's a few numbers you'll need to replace to match your particular plate. Once you do that, everything should be smooth sailing. They are the Offsets. This code is a work in progress so ymmv, it works great for me though.

@@IcanCwhatUsay Thank you for the code.

Thank you for the code.

[@ensaricokur1784]

Can you use this code to find the center for a tapered tool?

[@williamterry8912]

Thank you!! Very Nice!

[@kaden56]

I noticed the geometry on the opposite side of the block seems to be read for using it to find the inside corner of something like a picture frame. Is that correct?

[@garytaylor5646]

Can I still get the code?

[@josejalomo4614]

Could you please email the code, thank you in advance,
