Probe outside of part to find center was created by BigJohnT
Anyone have a subroutine that finds the center of a part by probing the outside? I'm working on one but it is slow going lol.

Morning John,
Not sure if this is the right version but as a starting point...
cornerll3.ngc finds the lower left corner of material, or vise.

Thanks Rick,
I started a bit different and probed for the top of the material then managed to take one of Dewey's probe routine and next probe the right side. Ran out of time to get the left side done but should be copy and paste. Chris or Dewey has some neat things in his code that I used like making sure the sign was correct no matter what was entered into the box. I even had the practice tip on the probe and probed a 6" scale hanging off the side of the vise held in place with my finger lol.
Work in Progress and for sure not done but for your viewing pleasure:

So in my simple thinking it would go like this:
Probe top and move to safe height
Move to diameter + offset
Move down to probe height
Probe right side and record result as xplus
Move up and over and down
Probe left side and record the result as xminus
Subtract xminus from xplus and divide by 2 to get the offset from either.
Move up and over to xminus plus offset

I wonder if you could:
Probe top to contact
slide left until no contact, then move ball diameter+ further.
move down ball diameter+ probe right.
move to starting XY probe down again, slide off the work to the right...
You do see ruby styluses being rubbed against parts in inspection machines.

Of course, you could just use Verser's routines:

I looked at that thread but never did find the files, I saw a bunch of patches but not the files to patch.

Good idea, especially when working with a probe.
