I then place the touch plate on the material for the job I am about to cut then click on the "detect touch plate button" on the control panel screen. I first check the preferences screen to make sure that the thickness recorded for the Touch Plate has not changed. On my control panel screen version there is a button called "detect touch plate". Make sure that you have the latest version of the control panel for your machine by checking for latest version from NEXT WAVE Automation. In my case that would be difficult as I'm using it to cut vinyl records and I have a jig that has 1/2" bolts sticking up all around the record in order to hold it down so I'm not so sure how the virtual setup thing would work. I'd also like to be able to use the virtual setup but it looks like it wants to be able to jump around the board to get readings. I've already tried rebooting the entire system but no go.
#CNC TOUCH PLATE NOT WORKING INSTALL#
According to the install instructions I should be able to click on the Z0 button and a screen should pop up to allow me to use the touch plate. It came with the shark touch plate so I went through the installation instructions, hooked it up and registered it through the control panel software. I can load up my vcarve files and jog around the board. I've been using a Chinese machine with Mach3 and when I saw this Shark become available I thought I'd grab it, So I've been playing around with it trying to figure out how the control panel works. I just picked up a slightly used cnc shark and got everything hooked up.
