Hello,

can anybody help me in setting up my UCCNC to work with the Stepcraft tool length sensor?
I have the sensor connected and when I manually activate it I can see output "10" change value in the software so I know it works. But how to configure the software and then use it with the sensor, I have no idea and can't find anything about it, not online nor in the UCCNC manual.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Sander

Sander has the first position on the solution for this.

We have a working probe profile that allows automated Z height setting.

when time permits we will formalise the documentation and post.

IF you want the profile drop us a mail.

probe pin should be pin 10 (but check this before you test - so you should see pin 10 trigger when you press the tool length sensor).

You then nee the M31 Macro (hopefully attached) and replace with the one you already have in your UCCNC marco profile folder.
