Work with probe

Great stuff!!
A fantastic addition for LCNC.
Many thanks to Verser and all who contributed.

I'm reluctant to monkey with my .ini anymore than I have without guidance.

Here is an abbreviated copy of the "LCNC start errors" and the section of my ".ini that applies.
What changes should I make here?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Verser!

Thank you for your work on this nice probe_screen.

I just wanted to give a bit of feedback regarding some minor Bugs in your screen. Maybe that helps to improve your nice work.
I m just testing the version from today from Probe_screen_master

- Measurement outside:
- Tooltip says: "Cilinder" should be "Cylinder"

- Settings:
- The input field of "Search Velocity" has no black Frame. All the other settings do have it.

- Misc:
- "Auto Rott" should be "Auto Rot" as i think Rot is short for Rotation.

- Result:
- The tooltips have a bit of an offset to the right, or should i say the boxes end too far in the right.
For example: if i place cursor over the pictogramm of "Diameter" the tooltip says "Probe Y+ pos."
When i move cursor to the right (and off the pictogramm) it says "Diameter. I hope you know what i mean.

Hope it helps for making it even better.

Have a nice day.

Mathias

Dear Users,
I am happy to say "Hello!", while it is my first post on the forum. It will be nice time here
Thank you for developing this measuring probe feature.

Probe calibration method presented already by lerman is really clever, but I would like to suggest a typical one: (maybe it is obvious to you)

1. Calibration ring is fixed to the machine and will stay there for some years.
2. Finding ring center coordinates in machine cordinates system using this device (01:15):

so that theoretical spindle axis is going through ring centerpoint
This calibration is performed only one time, because ring is fixed to machine table.

3. Calibration of the probe: positioning spindle with the probe in already measured ring center point.
4. Performing measuring (06:25 in the same video)
and calculating offsets.

Features:
-No spindle rotation needed -> good repeatability*

Drawbacks:
-for stepper motor machine with no measuring systems: ring center positioning repeatability is equal to repeatability of homing endstops.
-fixed calibration ring takes some working area.

What are your views about this method?
Best Regards, Jakub

I have been working with probe screen in gmoccapy. When I switch to the probe screen on a user tab and do the first probe move after switching to the probe screen and starting the first probe routine the screen changes back to the main gmoccapy screen. Once I go back to the user tab and do subsequent moves it remains on the probe screen.

If I switch to another gmoccapy screen then back to the probe screen user tab it happens the same all over again. I am not sure if this can be fixed in probe screen or if it is an issue in gmoccapy.

Dear community,
I have been playing around with this tool and find it very useful, indeed. However, I am using Axis and are unable to fit the GUI in the available space. It seems to be made static in size and so some of it is hidden and can not be made visible. I tried to redesign it in Glade to make it scalable to fit the available space, or at least introduce scrollbars, but have given up. Are there any Glade wizards out there who know how to do this?

Thanks,
/Chris
