Touch probe configuration

Sorry.

Now It's attached

As you said, since you use trivial kinematics there is nothing else but drive that one joint.

[edit]
Any particular reason for not using a non-trivial kinematic?

Wanted to ask the same thing.
Not sure but it should be that when in World mode it should behave like a normal 3 axis machine although it has 5 or 6 axis/joints.
I have yet to dive into LinuxCNC robot part of the pond!

Did you make your configuration with stepconf? On your port and pin setting page, you just link your probe input to the proper parallel pin and you'll get the proper config in your HAL file. Then you can use halmeter to test it. You just need to tie your probe to an input on your interface card. On my g540, I run it one side to input 4 and the other to common. Doesn't matter which lead goes where, it's just completing a circuit.

Okay, I got it.

So I can drive it by setting the correct joint angles and then with #5070 I will get the probe status, right?

I use trivial kinematics because I process the joint angles with an other program, then I pass the gcode to LinuxCNC.

No, I didn't do it. Is it necessary? How can I configure it with stepconf?

Alternatively, it will be sufficient to add a .HAL file with only the line "net probe parport.0.pin-10-in => motion.probe-input"?

Sorry if I'm asking a lot of questions but I'm a beginner.
