Trigger Probe input via software

[Soler]

Is there anyway to trigger a probe event via software instead of an input pin, Setting Led37 is not working as this is over written by the internal core.

Thanks

No, only the probe input works. What do you want to do?

I have developed a prototype tool setter with an embedded controller. Using the network capabilities of the embedded controller I want to connect directly through the network to UCCNC. Instead of via the BOB & Ethernet motion controller. Is there a work around to trigger the probe through code?

No, you can't. But FYI, the probe sensing is not done by the PC, but the controller. So any type of hardware you make cannot be so fast as the controller itself. Many people forget (or don't know) that all the time critical operations run on the controller and not on the PC.

Thank you for the response.
