digitizing. simulate probe?

[Battwell]

i want to make a laser switch scanner to scan a board for holes , outer perimeter etc.etc

i cannot use the probe function for this as i require a point at every high/low and low/high transition of the laser switch.
(i could use a flip flop to invert the signal every other one i suppose to give just one direction signal)?

id like to use the digitize m40 function to capture the points.

how can i simulate what the probe is writing to?
is it setting a var number as digitise point etc? i will be scanning x and y only.

i can write the code required once i know what to write to that the m40 digitise routine can see and store.

my thoughts. command the scan movement with a macro.
collect the points with a macroloop. (however this may not be fast enough so might have to rethink)

thoughts?

The digitization is done with G31, so the same probing position variables are set as with normal probing and then the UCCNC is storing these in an internal variable array.
And when you closing the probing operation calling the M41 macro then this array is written to the digitizing file.

[Battwell]

can these variables be written by a different macro? not m31?

[cncdrive]

The points are stored as:

public List<Executer.Axesposition> Probepoints;

And the structure in the Executer (exec) object are defined as:

public struct Axesposition
{
public double Xpos;
public double Ypos;
public double Zpos;
public double Apos;
public double Bpos;
public double Cpos;
}

So, you could check it with exec.Axesposition[n]; you could even modify the structure etc. you can do with it whatever is possible using the .net C# compiler.
