Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMC probe hookup

and in the .ini file set

[TRAJ]
PROBE_INDEX = 3

hook the probe up to the S6 input, pin 10.
For PROBE_INDEX = 4, it's S7, pin 11

use the G38.2 code
variable #5061 RECIEVES X VALUE
variable #5062 RECIEVES Y VALUE
variable #5063 RECIEVES Z VALUE

(PROBEOPEN probe.out)
G38.2 X1.0
G38.2 Y1.0
