In this video I show you how to make a touch plate to easily zero out a CNC as well as how to set up Mach3 to use the touch plate.
If the screen capture is too glitchy to see what I am doing here are some instructions:
For configuring the pins go to configure, ports and pins, input signals and scroll down until you see probe. Change the "enabled" section and the "active low" section to a green check.
For changing the code: operator, edit button script, auto tool zero
The code needed for the set up is as follows:
Message( "Auto Zeroing..." )
If IsSuchSignal (22) Then
code "G31 Z-3 F20"
While IsMoving()
Wend
Call SetDRO( 2, .060 )
code "G1 Z1"
End If
