    PlanetCNC documentation

    Hi,
    There is no description of the settings "probe travel" and "probe over edge" in the Probe and Measure menu documentation. Can you give some details please? Thanks in advance and congrats for this splendid software.

    Sorry for delay.
    These settings are used in edge find macros.
    "probe travel" - distance above top surface at which machine moves to find edge
    "probe over edge" - Z move below top surface after edge was found

    Thanks!
    I guessed those meanings when looking at the macro script before you answered, but I wanted to be sure as the wording "probe over edge" what not so clear for a "move below".

    Finding meaningful names is sometimes hard. I try to find distinct names that are not to general. This one was tough.
    "over edge" - when probe finds edge it needs to go over the edge so that it can move below top surface in order to measure sideways.
