Save current coords to file

Hello.

I need to write script for scanning surface by touch probe.
May I save touching coordinates to file?

It is possible?
Will it possible in new firmware versions?

this is script for scanning surface by touch probe.You can modify the parameters in this file (#2038-#2047) to customize it. You can also add these parameters to the parameter file (such as eng) so that you can modify it on the parameter page.

scanning_surface.nc content:

Currently, this function is not supported by the system. If you need to save the coordinates to a file, does the file name have a fixed name? Can you provide more detailed examples?

File name does not matter. I need to add current coordinates to a file by G-code command. I can write a script in a loop to get the coordinate cloud of the object. Format of records - comma delim X,Y,Z then new line. Next G-Code append next line in file.

I can provide you with a macro function, such as recordc. When using it in G code, the system will append the current coordinate information to a specific file. I don't know if this will meet your requirements.

Hi, ytliu! Glad to see you

For me appending coorinate information in file (incremental, until file exists or with createNew/reinit macro) is enough to perform simple scanning operations. All other things (like coordinate formats, etc) could be done via external conversion. It's useful both for creating height maps (like one topic starter is requested, e.g. for external compensation of PCB unevenness), or even full-fledged point clouds to use CNC as an express 3d scanner (e.g. for later engraving on complex surfaces).

Sorry, due to the illness of my wife , I did not respond in time recentely.
Hi 71taa,Thank you for your suggestion. Could you explain your ideas more detail?
