This macro allows you to probe the X, Y and Z. The probing sequence is Z, then Y and then X. To add this macro, simply copy the contents of the macro and paste them in the macro widget in CNCjs. Please note that the macro is for a ⅛” diameter end mill. To use other end mills you will be required to modify the macro. Firstly, download the XYZ macro [[https://www.makerstore.com.au/download/software/Maker-Store-XYZ-Macro-.txt|here]]. To set the macro in CNCjs, navigate to the macro widget in CNCjs. Click on the + to add a new macro. \\ \\ **Click the image to expand.** {{ :add_on_packs:xyz-set-macrojpg.jpg?400 |}} \\ Name the macro and paste the contents of the macro in the earlier downloaded file into the text box as shown below: \\ \\ **Click the image to expand.** {{ :add_on_packs:xyz_v2.png?400 |}} \\ Click **Ok** and the macro will be saved.

To use our Normally Open touch probe with the xPRO, **please enter $6=1 in the CNCjs console**. You Only need to do this once and it will be saved in the memory of the xPRO controller. If you were to re-flash the xPRO, you will need to re-enter the command. \\ ===== XYZ Probing Demonstration ===== \\ The Z probes first, then the X and finally the Y-axis. \\ **Click the video to expand.** {{ :add_on_packs:xyz.mp4 |}}
