a script that makes a beeping (terminal bell) continuity tester from your zprobe, prints "." or "\aBEEP" in a loop warning: better dont leave running continuously, but only when needed. Seems to have some nasty interaction with restarting AXIS(?)

my notes for linuxcnc settings file

my stab at a preprocessing z compensation advantages: correct visualization in AXIS, uses saved intermediate results.. disadvantages: first moves not adjusted (when not all coordinates were used yet)..watch out..this is really just for compensating a bumpy pcb, you must start out above it), for heavy terrain, use the HAL stuff. no support for anything beyond g0/g1, this wont adjust your drill files comments on move lines are not preserved. this is getting beyond the sanity limits of this regex parser.

(?)use the function in scan-function.ngc to create a heights file (filename.txt probably in your config dir/home dir) (todo, edit and use scan-surface.ngc instead) then run the script on that and your g-code file

same things, -function should allow you to load it, then call it interactively. both files are from https://github.com/cnc-club/linuxcnc-engraving-comp todo add max found height to safe distance

the c code has been apparently rewritten to the python gui. in both cases, a probing gcode is prepended to the start of your gcode, and has to do the probing every time, results arent saved anywhere.

a linuxcnc kinematic module, must be compiled. probably smart, but comes with a warning about a bug where coordinates fall through between triangles:-)

includes nice utilities for visualization..can be used separately: git clone git://git.mah.priv.at/emc2-dev.git cd emc2-dev git checkout probekins cd src/emc/kinematics #if you get crap from probe2stl.py, remove odd lines (the ones that are output when probe goes down): awk 'NR%2==0' heights.txt | ./probe2stl.py > stl.stl #or checkout bd5aa8f27e6ab3a0d0a4d407252d18bbc0537e4e, this old version will just output a warning python stlvis.py stl.stl

a component too, but in python. adds some buttons into AXIS (i have yet to make this work) (see my fork)
