To get your tool setter probe working with your Onefinity CNC running the Buildbotics (Redline) controller from Vectric Aspire 9.5, you need to understand how the two main parts of your setup interact:

  1. Vectric Aspire 9.5: This software generates your G-code design files using the post-processor (.pp file).
  2. Onefinity / Redline Controller: The physical controller running your machine, which handles the probing macro and tool changes directly on the machine’s touchscreen/web interface.

Step 1: Set Up the Post-Processor in Aspire

You need to make sure Aspire saves your toolpaths in the correct format for your machine.

  1. Open Vectric Aspire 9.5.
  2. Go to File > Open Application Data Folder.
  3. Open the PostP folder.
  4. Copy your downloaded Onefinityinch.pp file into this folder.
  5. Restart Aspire.
  6. When saving toolpaths, select Onefinityinch from the Post Processor drop-down menu.

Step 2: Wire and Test the Tool Setter

Before running a job, test that your probe responds correctly on the controller:

  1. Connect the Probe: Plug the tool setter/probe block into the designated probing port on your Onefinity controller box.

  2. Test the Signal:

    • Tap the top of the probe block by hand or touch the magnet grounding clip to the block.
    • Look at the controller screen (the probing or diagnostics menu). A probe status light should illuminate when touched.
    • Do not skip this test—if the light doesn’t turn on when touched manually, the machine will not stop when homing down onto the probe and will crush your tool.

Step 3: Run the Probing Routine on the Controller

Probing for tool height is handled directly on your Onefinity screen, not inside Aspire.

  1. Place your workpiece on the bed and secure it.
  2. Put your router bit into the collet.
  3. Place the probe block on top of your material (or fixed tool setter location) under the bit.
  4. Attach the grounding magnet to the router collet or bit.
  5. On the Onefinity touchscreen, select the Probe tool (Z-Probe or XYZ-Probe depending on your block type).
  6. Press Start Probe. The controller will slowly lower the Z-axis until it touches the block, retract slightly, touch a second time, and automatically set your Z-zero.
  7. Remove the probe block and grounding clip before starting your job.

Step 4: Handling Tool Changes (Multi-Tool Jobs)

If your Aspire file uses multiple tools:

  1. Ensure you use a post-processor that supports tool changes (often labeled with TC in the name, e.g., Onefinity_Inch_TC.pp).
  2. When the G-code reaches a tool change, the Onefinity controller will pause the job and move to a safe position.
  3. Change the physical bit in your router.
  4. Run the probing routine again on the controller interface to calibrate the Z-height of the new bit.
  5. Resume the job on the screen.
  6. i am hoping that PP will set tool automatically, I don’t have to do manually how to set up in PP to do automatically?

It requires v11 minimum to work. 9.5 is very out of date.
