Hey,
just wondering if there is version for 2.9?
 

I found it is easier to use the qtDragon screens, there is a probe screen incorporated and the screen looks nice too.

Thanks for your info. Testing it as we speak.
It did not like my old axis setting so have to manually se it again. (no big deal) the screen definitely looks better then axis
Thanks

There are two probe screens available, Versa probe and probe screen.
The manual explains how to use either through the ini file (confusingly not under the [probe] heading in the manual).
Code:
[PROBE]   #USE_PROBE = versaprobe   USE_PROBE = basicprobe www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/gui/qtdragon.html The manual is a work in progress, Chris is really busy with the screen last couple of weeks.

right I get all my settings and script run sweet in qtdragon now but I think I am getting dumber.
I can not figure out signal for the probe pin input.

right, got the signal sorted (just had my brain scrambled last night)
But, I can not get basicprobe to work, versaprobe seems to work but the screen is all messed up (it looks like it needs bigger screen to work correct)
With the basic probe when I press any buttons it does not move at all and no error messages

Well, after some trial and errors I finally find a workflow to use probe screen.

I can't use qtdragon as my screen is limited to 1280x1024 and I don't want to replace it (19" rack server console).

Power on
Home
Tool setter
Touchplate height
Zero Z
Touchplate XY

The only remaining problem is tool change, the M6 remap break current program, after confirming tool change everything is stopped.
I have to duplicate Txx M6 to keep the program running and the tool height isn't adjusted as intended.

It seems this is a known problem as several people in this thread reported same issue but I didn't find the solution by reading replys to those messages. If anyone have an idea ...
