Re: "Probe depth" setting and height above PCB when starting

Thanks again James for the reply - and a big thanks again for the software. I wonder if the value of doing the 2nd probe is at all realized when the third probe is the one that is recorded and used in offset calcs, and perhaps it'd be better to store the zero value obtained by that 2nd probe and ign...

Re: "Probe depth" setting and height above PCB when starting

Hi James, thanks for the reply. Yes, I meant "depth" not "height" (even though technically a "depth" of -1 would imply above the surface, and a "height" of -1 below :) ). I have never seen Mach3 pop up a dialog, but nor have I tried it with the Z height well above the surface - I'll test that out an...

"Probe depth" setting and height above PCB when starting

Thanks again for an awesome addition to the GCode / CNC / PCB field ! I've only recently started using a CNC and this probing technique, but wanted clarification on the optimal way to use the Z height settings. Here's what I did..... Load up my GCode file - it's in millimetres. "Probe Depth" setting...

retain settings across executions

I'd like to see the app remember the folder I last opened (rather than default to the Documents folder - that's a good first default for sure, but I keep all my PCB stuff in a completely different hierarchy), and I'd especially like it to retain the fact that I use Mach3 not LinuxCNC.
