Macro for probing inside center of distance

[TadasM]

Hi Vmax549,

Is there a chance to add the "E" "H" "P" "Q" values into fields and macro executed with a press of a button (when written values in the text fields are taken into macro).

Something like this? :

Replace this:

Code: Select all

// E = X probing distance
// H = Y probing Distance
// P = Probing  Feed Rate
// Q = Z probing Depth


if ( (Qvar == null) || (Evar == null) || (Hvar == null) || (Pvar == null) )
   {
   MessageBox.Show("There Is a Missing Parameter E H Q P");
     exec.Stop();
     return;
   }

double?  Xlen = Evar;
double?  Ylen = Hvar;
double?  Frate = Pvar;
double?  Zdepth = Qvar;

With this:

Code: Select all

double  Xlen = AS3.Getfielddouble(20001); // X probing distance
double  Ylen = AS3.Getfielddouble(20002); // Y probing Distance
double  Zdepth = AS3.Getfielddouble(20003);// Z probing Depth
double  Frate = AS3.Getfielddouble(20004); // Probing  Feed Rate

Number the fields to match the code, 20001-20004.
Name the macro and the button with the same number.

There's no error checking if the values you enter are not correct.
Note: I didn't check this.

Thank You Gerry,

I will try and will come back with results

I tested original macro posted by Vmax549, it works perfectly, with all notifications, as it is described. As posted earlier, I want to have possibility to add values visually (dedicated textfields). Advice from Gerry works well. Personally, I prefer Coarse and Fine (double) probing, so I managed to modify original macro to do that. However I lost functionality of this part of code (same for "Y" axis):

Code: Select all

if (Xlen != 0 )
   {
   if ((Xpos1 - Xstart) >= Xlen)
      {
      MessageBox.Show("There was a MISSED probe trip in X right , Reset E parameter");
        exec.Stop();
        return;
      }
   }

 if (Xlen != 0 )
   {
   exec.AddStatusmessage("The machine moved to X right position");
   exec.Wait(100);
   }

Now what it does, is when it reaches specified distance machine assumes the probe was triggered and continues with other part of macro. It would be great if you could help to get this code working with on screen notifications as per original Vmax549 macro

Thak You

Vmax549,

Thank you for your detailed replies. Much appreciated. My goal is to have commonly used probing's on "RUN" screen (I left some space for all that stuff):

Sadly I'm not good on creating macros. I can modify or adjust them a bit at the most. So I'm very happy that You are sharing some of Your great work. Any plans to make such probing routine using new probing method (using tTrip point values) ?

Working on one JUST for you (;-) Center of Space, Double Tap. Using probe points.

Can you give me a list of the ones you need ?

(;-) TP

Fantastic !

I have sent you a PM
