Customized probe type

[jule5 (jooly CHEESE)]

Hello,
I should be able to probe the corner as if it were the BitZero with the way my machine is set up. What do I do with the firmware to implement this permanently. I am lost at when I found gc_block.values.xyz.

I think I just need to change the offset probe type BitZero v1 puts by default.

No need to mess with the firmware…not sure where you were going with that.

A few options.

1. Use the BitZero routine and then change your offsets manually.
2. Enter the probe commands manually through the MDI.
3. Use a sender capable of doing what you want (CNCjs).

I would like a permanent carbide motion solution.

Maybe it is here void mc_probe_cycle…

You’re looking at the Grbl source. Although Grbl (firmware) handles the probing, all of the commands are sent by the sender UI (Motion).

If I had to use Motion, I’d just use my option one above. The offsets the BitZero creates are known. A simple G10L20 command (can explain more) will give you the precise zero you want (as precise as probing with an endmill in a CM routine can).

you made me break an end mill because i have to put offsets in manually every time.

Hopefully you learned from that.
