The laser zero will probably be on the Probing screen.

Gerry,
I'm afraid it did not work.
My two .txt files are attached. Maybe you can tell me where I screwed up? I did just paste your code into the two files.
I have other issues I'd like to discuss with you as well. For example right now I'm working on getting my touch down probe working but something is askew.
Would you be interested in my hiring you to assist with email/phone tech support on the rest of my setup? I've got the machine running, homing and have the servos pretty decently tuned. I'm just fumbling my way through the UCCNC settings as this is all new to me. If you do have time to assist we can continue here or direct via email.
Thanks,
BH
Is there any error message in the status window when UCCNC starts? If so, there should be an errorlog.txt file with the two macros you changed, which should contain an error message.

My mistake.
M99998 should be this:
string readfield = exec.Readkey("JogSpeed", "913", "100");
AS3jog.Setfieldtext(readfield, 913); // Set Jog Percent
AS3jog.Validatefield(913);

I'm working on the Z-axis auto touchdown probe. I've got it to the point where when I hit the probe button in UCCNC the Z-axis goes down but it doesn't stop when I press the button on the touch down plate. The plate is push button style as vs. (I think) one that grounds out.
Three photos attached with the settings I'm using.
Does this make any sense to you?
Thanks,
BH
Go to the Diagnostic page in UCCNC, and see if the Probe LED lights up when you push the button.I'm working on the Z-axis auto touchdown probe.

What macro are you using?

Gerry,
I'm not using any macros unless they're automatically brought up when I hit the PROBE button on the UCCNC run screen. Perhaps that's the problem. I'll reread the CNC4PC probe directions again and see if I missed something.
I'll also look at the DIAGNOSTICS screen per your suggestion. I do know that no LEDs are lighting up on the C76 or C78 control cards or the C48 card that came with the touch down probe/plate.
BH
Okay, the red probe LED lights up on the Diagnostics screen when I press the probe button on the run screen. And the Z-axis goes down. However depressing the sensor button neither stops the z-axis downward motion nor brings up any lights on the Diagnostics screen. Either while the z-axis is coming down or when the system is idle.
I have the I/O probe setup set to pin 11, port 2. I tried setting Pin 11, Port 2 on the I/O inputs page but don't know what function to choose. There are several options that list automatic probe setting and I tried one but it didn't do anything. Is that what you meant by "what macro are you using?.
Thanks,
BH
It needs to be assigned to the Probe 1 or Probe 2 Input.
What version of UCCNC are you using? I wasn't aware of a built in Auto Zero function, but I probably don't have the same screen you are using.

Sounds like your touch plate is not working?I do know that no LEDs are lighting up on the C76 or C78 control cards or the C48 card that came with the touch down probe/plate.

Yeah, I'm wondering that as well. I'm working on this with Arturo.........do you know who that is?
My UCCNC version is 1.2111. Screen shot attached. The Probe/Touchdown button is just to the left of GOTO ZERO.
