I found out that if I want to have two setups they have to share the same home locations. The way you described is how I ended up doing it.

So is it possible to use Swissi's PP with two setups? I get a message that says my selected PP is not compatible with two setups. No one has written yay or nay.

..... Automatic detection of wireless probes is a nontrivial problem. Depends on how it is achieved... Very simple is a switch in the storing of the probe, if removed from storing the switch turns probe detect on. Could also be used for a wired probe if you want to skip plugging in and out.

I see you are using CNC12's to set tool heights and not the Probe App tool library manager. I was trying to use Probe app to set tool heights. Maybe that was my problem. Yesterday I ran a program with 3 tool changes and all worked perfect. Thanks again Uwe. Now I feel like maybe I should have sent t...

I use Z Home as Z ref P#3=6 To set the probe length, I use a gage with exact the length at which my TT trips. Uwe Thank you for the video. I set P 3 to 6 and all seems to work now. I had tried setting it to two but it kept getting reset to 0 asking for CNC12 to be restarted. There is no 6 mentioned...

Where are you setting the height of the TT in Probe App?

From the beginning I have had problems setting tool heights correctly. I am 100% sure it is something I am doing wrong. Some setting that is messing with me. I have Swissi's probe app. I have a fixed tool height setter and a touch probe. Recently I read on here that parameter 3 should be set to 2. I...

Would you post your macro's so I can see how you accomplished it?

I spoke to soon as to the manual stop. I tried a test program with a manual stop inserted and the program doesn't stop. It goes directly to the next operation. I am trying to run one side of a part and then flip it and run the same toolpath on the flip side. When I do this it just starts the second ...

I found the manual stop under the setup tab. That part solved.
