Question UCCNC Software Bugs

Go to the diagnostic screen and check that pin 10 is changing state as you press the probe pin. This ensures the signal is getting to the correct pin and you then assign the probe setting to this pin (pin 10 port 1).


Then you need to make sure you understand what the macro is doing.


Then copy the atached file to C:\UCCNC\Profiles\Macro_YOUR_PROFILE

file needs to be just M31.txt so remove the date from the file (forum adds these)

And the probe should work like this

    - newZ = 33
        This should be changed to whatever height your probe device is, isn't it? I 
        suppose 33 is your probe button device I see in the video. I would change that
        variable name to ProbeHeight for example.

    - while(exec.IsMoving()){}
        Wouldn't it be better to add another line like this to the macro start, so if 
        the machine is moving and you hit the probe button by error, it won't stop 
        until finished?

Hi Rory, I've seen the macro and saw 2 things:

    - newZ = 33
        This should be changed to whatever height your probe device is, isn't it? I 
        suppose 33 is your probe button device I see in the video. I would change that
        variable name to ProbeHeight for example.

    - while(exec.IsMoving()){}
        Wouldn't it be better to add another line like this to the macro start, so if 
        the machine is moving and you hit the probe button by error, it won't stop 
        until finished?

I modified it a bit and attached it here, but it's not tested since I don't own a probe right now (I'll have to make one myself). If you test it let us know
