Sensor Probe Error

Question first, how do I set the "Go To Sensor location" to include the Z-Axis to get within 5mm? I see the X and Y axis location but, not a Z-Axis textbox. Meaning that I want to machine to first move to X and Y sensor location and then move to within 5mm of the sensor top.

Then the issue from compiling the most recent code from GIT.Once I get the Z-Axis to within 5mm I get the error in the following screenshot.

This was not happening yesterday, just started after compiling today.Is there a possibility that I have incorrect sensor heights set based on my tool sensor pad base being very low verses my table top? 

 

As always thanks in advance.

The intention was that you would jog to within <max probe> distance of the sensor by hand.
Otherwise with different length tools you would need to set it work with your longest tool.
It's meant to be simple.

You could of course you one of the optional Macro buttons to send whatever MDI commands
you like.

Also Versa probe has some more sophisticated tool probing routines, but are pretty new so may need some tweaks for different user cases.

yes that's a typo should be 'txt2' I'll push the fix tonight, but you could hand edit the line if you wanted to fix what you have.

One other issue that I noted was the overlay that I have circled in yellow.

Not sure if that's just my setup or a legitimate bug?

Thanks Chris.

 

I don't see that on my development system.
Is there any difference with different stylesheets?

Are you using the auto tool length probing on your machine?

Actually I believe that another user referenced perhaps the same issue here .

Are you using the auto tool length probing on your machine?

Not sure what you are referencing here?

If you look at the picture of my machine in this post you can see what I call a "Tool Length Sensor", I believe that's correct CNC terminology.
I also have a touch-off plate but I have not got that to function properly with my 7i76e. I know that my spindle is properly grounded at both ends so I believe that all I need is one wire connected to the plate and I should be able to touch off with the plate.

What I am trying to achieve is the ability to machine a part, remove it from the table and then later machine it again without losing my initial coords.

Chris,
I think that I have found the problem with the Overlay problem.

In my screen shot above see overlay part appears to be coming from the TOOL NAME:
Class: StatusLabel
Object: lbl_tool_comment

Potential: maxSize Width = 16777215

May want to limit the size of the tool label and let the toolTip show the entire text length of the tool?

I just loaded up a Tool with a long(er) name and one with a short name and you can see that's what is happening.

I'm a noob with QT but, not intimidated. 



 

Ha - now that you pointed it out, it's obvious !
I'll look into it.
