Probe Basic in QTDragon

I'll do my best to help. I don't currently use qtdragon on a machine.
Your input on problems of integration is very helpful to making the project better - thanks for you patients.

i don't expect big problems with probing - bit when ever the code changes I get nervous of putting it out in the wild... probes are expensive to break.

Did you get a chance to test this branch?

In progress and so far so good.

Thank you for testing. I think I'll merge this soon to shake it out some more.

The QTDRAGON documentation seems to be wrong in par. 12.1 . Looking at the ngc routines, XY_Clearance is the slow probe distance, while Step Off is a rapid move away from an edge.

The Z Clearance also seems to be a slow probe move, not rapid.

It seems that these two definitions should be swapped..

Talking about lcnc 2.8.4 ISO, not RIP.

Hi cmorley,

i am using linuxcnc 2.8.4. Thanks for the probing stuff.

Two comments to the probe_corner*.ngc:

The probe_corner*.ngc expect 16 parameters (wco_rotation as last one).
But basic_probe.py supplies only 15 parameters, hence the angle is never set in the coordinate system:

o<160> if [#<probe_mode> EQ 0 AND #<wco_rotation> EQ 1]  
  (Record Zero in selected axes and WCO)
  G10 L2 P#5220 X[#<c1x> + #<workspace_x>] Y[#<c1y> + #<workspace_y>] R[#<edge_angle>]
  o<probe_corner_y_minus_edge_angle> return
o<160> endif

I removed the wco_rotation condition from the statement above (i also found no button etc. to get it from).

Furthermore i added a G10 L2 P0 R0 at the start, so the angle is measured correctly if you run it multiple times.

Kind regards
Carsten
