I recently purchased a tool probe which inside the housing contains a basic switch (can be wired NO or NC).
I have the tool probe bolted down on my machine bed's top right hand corner.
I use GRBL and UGS to control the machine.
I am trying to use the probe to help me semi-automate tool changes.
Can any one you confirm if the below workflow is achievable with GRBL + UGS combination ?
Manually Load Tool 0 in the spindle
Manually set Z=0 on my stock
Probe the Z axis using my tool probe
Manually Load Tool 1 in the spindle
Probe the Z axis again
Calculate the difference in height between the 2 tools used
No matter how hard I tried I couldn't come up with a method to exclusively achieve the above using just WCS's...
Any tips? is this even possible to do? or there has to be a mathematical operation for this workflow to become feasible ?
