Measure

Hi,
these days I have had the time to try out the new measurement features with the probe and I must say that you did an amazing job both as a script and as a graphic; all clear and functional. For the moment, for my needs, I have only added two G92 in the angles, hole, axis and ledge scripts to zero the axes at the end of the measurements; I would also like to add the probe thickness management (the usual pcb clipping) as unfortunately I don't have a 3D probe. I have already performed the first part of the script modification where in the dialog box I added a field where to insert this parameter which I then linked to the variable # <sonda> but I can't understand where and how to insert this variable in the line that calculates the value # <_ measure>. If it were possible to have an example script you would make me happy :-)
Attachment 432416

#<_measure> = [#<_probe_axis|#<axis>> + #<dir> * #<_probe_size_axis|#<axis>>]

This is already taken care of with "_probe_size_axis" parameter which takes its value from "Settings/Probe Size Z" and "Settings/Probe Size XY".

If you want to always enter value then you can change this value:
#<_probe_size_axis|#<axis>> = #<sonda>
Make sure you do this after #<axis> parameter is set.

You can also set #<sonda> before dialog. For example:
#<sonda> = #<_probe_sizeZ>

OK thanks. This evening I try.

I will probably be online if you'll need help.

I tried but I didn't succeed, probably because I didn't explain well what I would like to do.
I usually work wood, plastics and aluminum; for aluminum there are no problems the value entered in "Settings / Probe Size XY" is equal to the radius of the tool used for the measurement (I always use a rectified 3mm plug) then to the electrical contact between the tool and aluminum (conductive material ) the script already calculates the right size and moves the axis to zero (probe = 0). In cases of wood and plastics (non-conductive materials) instead I have to place the pcb plate between the tool and the workpiece whose thickness must be inserted from time to time in the dialogue window (previous post image); the value of the pcb thickness (which could also be something different from the pcb with different thickness) must be added to the value of the tool radius (Probe Size XY). Then the script should add (or deduct depending on the direction of the measurement) from the reading value to the electrical contact the sum between "Probe Size XY" and "probe" and then move the axis to zero.

Your example goes to replace the value of "_probe_size_axis" with the value of "probe" (and it also writes it in "Settings / Probe Size XY") while that parameter must remain as inserted in the settings: I don't even want to change the value of " Probe Size Z "because the measurements on Z are always performed with the pcb plate.
I hope I haven't bored you ... :-) Attachment 432418

Ok, what if you do this:

Code:

---

#<_measure> = [#<_probe_axis|#<axis>> + #<dir> * #<_probe_size_axis|#<axis>> + #<dir> * #<sonda>]

---

this happens:

GCode Error:
Line:104 #<_measure> = [#<_probe_axis|#<axis>> + #<dir> * #<_probe_size_axis|#<axis>> + #<dir> * #<sonda>]
Invalid number 'NAN'

Please post your complete script.

I do not see where I can attach files ... public as if it were text?

Found ... attached script

There is no "Spessore sonda a contatto" dialog item in this script?
I thought you added it and set parameter #<sonda> with it? Like in screenshot above?

I apologize, it was the backup file
this is the right one

#<sonda> is local parameter. It is not visible in subprocedure <probe>.
In code below it is send to subprocedure as third argument. See what I did. It should work now.

Code:

It works perfectly; I saw my mistakes and understood them ... very useful exercise for the next scripts.
Thanks so much
