the software is incapable of differentiating between a tool height indicator and a surface probe.
Why would you want to make a distinction? Depending on the context the software knows which switch is tripped.
Here is how I use my two probes with just one Probe signal. You can use many more probes if you want to.
Code:
net toolsensor-in <= [HMOT](CARD0).gpio.009.in_not => tool_probe.in0
Code:
net probe-in <= [HMOT](CARD0).gpio.007.in => tool_probe.in1
Code:
net probe-or-tool tool_probe.out
Code:
net probe-or-tool => motion.probe-input
Code:
net probe-or-tool qtdragon.led-probe
Although LinuxCNC drives me nuts too sometimes it is best to be nice to all the people who try to help. Everything is possible with LinuxCNC but there is kinda steep learning curve, but when you finaly get the point then everything is much easier to use. Think of the software as you cabinet full of relays, LCNC replaces all the hardware logic with software rules.
It's a state of mind I guess.
Been using LCNC for years now and it gets better and better. Without LCNC my machine would not have worked since there is no other decent software available at all.
