Hello,
I'm new in CNC or plasma cutting or CNC plasma cutting but i would like to have my own hobby CNC plasma machine.
I have build mine CNC table (router with floating head) and it works fine but i don't know how to incorporate probing.
I'm interested in setting probing function (automaticly setting zero to the top of the sheet before every piercing).
I understand that i need to have some piece of code in the sheetcam post processor.
I have downloaded demo sheatcam for test and it genereate nice G-code that mach3 Version R2.63 is reading fine.
Hardware is cheap chinese controller and drivers (TB6600) with motors from "stepper online".
Can some one please post whole code that i need to c/p to my post procesor and tell me can i paste it just at the end in post procesor or does it need to be in some specific place.
I'm asking because i didn't find anywhere complete code for post procesor (or it doesen't look like one to me )
Thank You for help.

Try the 'Mach3 THC with scriber' post. Once you have selected the post click on the 'Edit post' button. At the start of the file are a number of parameters you will need to set up for your machine. You can ignore the scriber stuff.
Your controller my need a different probing cycle than the post uses. If that is the case lte me know and I will modify a post for you.
