m31 fixed z plate z setting

[jsim8909]

Hello I got a m31/m6 combo macro for probing with m31 off work then probing to fixed position tool height sensor. 1 value is left out and I need help with how to write missing value. The m31 provides a x and a y location in machine coords for fixed plate. There is no line to enter a z in machine coords for the machine to raise first before making the x,y moves. I do see a retraction after g31 runs. But to use retraction for that purpose means every peice of stock probed requires editing of the macro to run. If z height was set for fixed position the macro wouldn't require edit ever. I tried duplicating the lines for either x or y and adding z but compiling error every time. How could this be done?

This is the m6 macro that goes with the m31 in need help with. I'm not sure if it needs editing as well

Code: Select all

((((----Before this line below z need to raise to z-199.00 in machine coordinates/fixed plate height.------)))))
exec.Code ("G53 G00 Z-199");
exec.Code ("G53 G00 X" + FixedPlateX + " Y" + FixedPlateY);   //Move to fixed plate position
while (exec.IsMoving ()){}
exec.Wait (200);

it won't compile adding that line. I tried that before. I not sure what the rules are for that G53 position, but it's not taking any z values.

Then you either have a typo, or something else wrong. What I posted is correct.
Check Errorlog.txt in the macro folder and see what it says.

Somehow it descided it would work. It took a pc restart and for some reason the webcam plugging and xbox360 pluggin aren't play nice together. I shut down the web cam and then my macros started functioning.
Thank you for the help! You can't believe how frustrating it is to have people think your stupid and a liar all at once. There is always a reason for these stupid failures. Windows has some blame too. That why mill pc is offline forever.

Hello,
I'm new and I have questions about the M31 macro.
I wish to modify it so that it takes into account the height of my probe (Height of 32.53mm).
My wish is to be able to do Zero Tool anywhere in my board. A probing with a rise of the tool at Z0 + 15mm and the taking into account of this value in the indication of the axes.
Not understanding anything about programming, can you guide me in the approach to follow?
I need to completely re-edit the M31 text file.
I'm sorry about this bad English, but I speak French and go through a translation to talk.
I thank you in advance for your help.
