Work with probe

The updated code fixes the double move bug. There is another bug in the python code where the program assumes both probed positions have the same sign [line 1028: cxres=0.5*(xres+xres1)] Note: the docs don't say if the probed_position is relative or absolute: linuxcnc.org/docs/html/common/python-interface.html

The home position on my machine is in the center for all three axes so when the circle is centered on the home position, I'm getting wildly different results. When I move the circle to +X and +Y, the code works as expected.

A minor issue is xplus.ngc and yplus.ngc contain Z axis moves. I think these should be moved to the python code.

Screenshot in the header of this topic by the way shows the result of measurement of hole. We see that true equality "Xc"=0.5*("X+" + "X-"). In Probe Screen application probed_position matches with absolute coordinates . I do not quite understand why it is wrong.

Now I think so too

I did this correction, and more ..

this is awesome. Well done and thank you for developing this.. Ill give it a shot tonight and let you know how it goes..

I'm having trouble understanding the directions.

The README.md says:
...
2. The following files from the archive are placed in:

your-folder-configuration/python
```sh
probe_screen.py
```
your-folder-configuration/your_subroutine_path
```sh
all from folder "macros"
```

your-folder-configuration/probe_icons
```sh
all from folder "probe_icons"
```

I've installed linuxcnc in:
/usr/share/linuxcnc/...

My home directory:
/home/lerman contains:
linuxcnc/
configs
nc_files
PROJECT1
outline.ngc
center.ngc

In this case, what is "your-folder-configuration"?

=========
I think that this is just what I need to use with my new probe.

Thanks,

Ken
