XY Probe script?

Hi,
Does anyone happen to have a macro/script for finding part positions using a probe?
I already have a code for finding tool height offsets, but was looking for examples of simple part probing routines.
E.g. Edge, Web, Boss, etc.

Re: Buildbotics taking preorders

There is one 'step' and 'one' direction line available for each of the four motor ports. The 'step' lines provide a pulse for each motor step and the 'direction' lines change between high and low signals to specify the direction that the motor should turn. Hope this helps. I have a large gantry CNC...

Mozaik Cabinet Software

Hi,
Do you know if buildbotics is compatible with Mozaik, or if there is another post processor that works with Buildbotics?

I see lots of links to other controllers, but not the buildbotics.
