Can anyone point to, or post, a how to on creating a touch probing macro for a rotary axis in mach3? I have mine set up, but I'm just manually moving to a position that looks right and setting zero. Then I touch off a known reference and subtract the 2 z positions to offset from center. That worked well enough for my test, but it would be great to be able to:
Attach a probe input from the touch plate to a dowel pin in the chuck
Attach the probes clip to a dowel in the collet
Have the macro prompt for diameter of dowel in Chuck and collet
Move spindle to a relatively close location that is mostly centered on the dowel in the chuck
Touch for z position and divide by 2 to know center. Back up and move in the y axis out of the way to then move down and probe the y position.
X could be manually moved, but the z and y would be nice to do as a routine instead of what I am doing now.

I have found some things, but no actual code yet. I'd pay for this capability of that is an option.



Any help towards this would be great. I'm sure that rotary owners will appreciate it down the road too.
