Touch Module Mach4

[@PerBengtsson]

What is the Touch Button Module Document and where can I find that? The documentation included in the installer for build 3206 says "For now, this is more of a place holder than anything else. Additional information and videos to come in the not too distant future we hope. For now, use the tool tips in the TouchOffUI for more information." I have managed to get the touch function working but it would sure have been nice to have some documentation to guide me.

When I press the button, no window opens..?

What are you using as the "probe" end? can it be as simple as say a piece of drill rod? I assume the machine can stop fast enough once it makes contact with the part..... because the "probe" appears to be rigid...? Thanks - Nick

Hello Nicholas, yes you can use any conductive material, we tested with a #10 copper wire strand and even with that as flexible as it is we where able to get repeatable measurements even with that. You can submit questions on the Machsupport.com website and create a support ticket in the support tab of the website. Best regards Jim.

Hi Rob. When I follow that link it appears to take me to an empty article - what am I missing? Cheers
