3 Axis Macro Needed for Touch Plate

Post by FullCircleCNC »

I have found several good macros for Z axis touch plates BUT
I have a CNCrouterparts (Avid) 3 axis touch plate that works with Mach 3/4 using their
supplied XML file, and would like to use it with my Acorn CNC12 v4.18 controller.

Has anyone created a 3 axis (XYZ) macro or can lead me down the right path?
Any help would be great :!:

Like this? I only use it for XY (inside or outside corners), but could be use for Z as well.
