I didn't look hard at it but your board will support the probe part of this at least for the Z. Aforww was working with X any Y direction probing as well and could shed some more light on that. I didn't entirely gather what their g code generator was for.

This contraption is nice, however, the guy developed it back when Z probing was not in sight for UGS. It uses a bunch of macros. I'm dialing In the probing with Winder. It still acting odd but only on occasion. You can use a touch block like I made or you can just use a feeler gauge since they are pretty damn accurate. Last night is used a .001 feeler gauge and didn't even cut the tape that was on the bottom of my material. It's crazy accurate.

How is Will Winder coming along with this?

aforww, anymore word on UGS and support of the xyz touch plate? I would really like to order something.

The latest build of UGS Platform supports an x y z touchplate probing.

The latest build of UGS Platform supports an x y z touchplate probing. I had not mentioned this little tidbit because it wasn't working right. About to try the latest nightly now though to see if my WCS issue is resolved.

Just curious, any update for the X,Y, and Z probing?

I ended up getting the same XYZ touch plate as friolator from Blue OX. It works really well out of the box with the Auto-probing feature of the UGS Platform build, no macros needed. I just had to add/splice connectors to the header on the Arduino motor shield - I ended up using these and they did the trick - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071XN7C43

For the record, there's nothing too special about these touch plates. They're just blocks of metal. I made a touch plate setup on my carve king in about 2 hours last night using the aluminum jaws on my vise. I can take pictures and share the UGS macros if anyone is interested.
