Excellent job! I work with Justin Gray and have been using his macros for several months in our shop. It's so cool to see you and Justin working together to make probing on the LNC 6800 a reality. Nice job creating all that beautiful documentation Josh! I think I need to get a probe for my personal X7 at home now! haha Keep up the great videos! I know our next step is to figure out in process probing so it can update tool wear in real time and comp in bores, pockets, faces, etc.
Great work there! Would those work with the Syntech controller as well? Would you consider talking about your probe a bit more in a future video? $1800 is a pretty good deal compared to the Pioneer. I really wonder how it compares. Ciao, Marco.
Did your controller already have the Probe signal set up for input 62 from the factory, or did you have to add it? Do the probing macros depend on this being set up, and if so, it has to be input 62? It looks like the macros call a G31 with some parameters to use the second probe input, so I'm trying to figure out if additional setup like this is required.
@jamesh5569 All I had to do was connect the probe to the probe port on the back of the controller and switch from normally open to normally closed I believe. I purchased a silver cnc probe and it was inverse of the pioneer. If you have your probe connected, you can use mpg dry run to test a macro. Start with something simple like probe x. If you're referring to R_skip[], the number 1 to 3 refers to the x,y,z coordinate when the probe triggered.
@@MrSmith1231 Was input 62 already defined as the Probe signal though? I was curious if your machine came with that already done, mine does not. Thanks for the tip on the MPG DRN, I've actually never tried that but I will once I finish the installation.

This is awesome. Well done to you and Justin for these.
Cheers mate

I can't find the default password to log into user level 7, what is it?
@jamesh5569 the default for me is 168888
Nevermind found it in the Github docs

@jamesh5569 yeah, my machine already had the probe signal defined. I'm not sure how to modify that.
