The new probe and finding the center of a hole

[Ricardoco]

hey guys Thanks for your replies, but this is what i mean, new screen sets, scripts and routines... I just cannot get my head around why a basic routine isnt built in that can be edited by people who want more, after all the buttons are there so the designers know its needed, i just dont understand why i have to put on other screen sets some of which cost money to take advantage of a feature that should be there in the first place... vexes me that does...

Rick

and i still dont understand what is to be done to give this functionality, or is this step 'H' in in a learning curve starting at 'A'

Grrrrrrrrr

As a poor old pensioner I can't afford a centre probe, so I am thinking about making one using QTC as the switching. I have some on order. If it works I will start a new thread. If it don't I will keep quiet !

QTC - quantum tunnelling compound, a polymer that changes resistance dramatically on deformation from 10**12 ohms at rest to virtually zero on deformation cost is about 30p per 3.6 x 3.6 x 1.5 mm 'pill'

To be fair there are some really good plans out there for DIY probes that report to work very well indeed.
