ProbeCloud
This plugin is for probing the surface of a 3D object using a touch probe, and storing data into a point cloud into a plain text (csv) file. Features:
- Ability to define a perimeter that is used to filter probing areas to cover. Ability to Preview probing area, and define the probe areas as inside or outside of the perimeter. This can greatly reduce wasted probing time collecting points you don’t want or need.
- Ability to stop and re-start at a position and continue writing to the same file. Probing 100,000 points can take a long time, now you can break your probing up into several sessions.
- Adaptive retracting. The probing routine doesn’t just probe from a set ‘safe Z’ plane height, but rather tracks as closely to the surface of the part as you choose, only retracting to a higher Z level when necessary
- Ability to have the plugin send you an email (or a text if you set it up to email to a special address that forwards to your cell number). Now you don’t have to wonder if the probing has stalled or hit a snag, the plugin will notifiy you if it has an error or an EStop event occurs before the finish!
