I am looking at Gsender 1.1.4 and it look kind of nice, I really like the view as the work is being done. I have come up with a problem.
When I set the xyz zeros with the prob, after it is finished the Z goes all the way to the top and hits the mount. Then when I check it, it is about 1/4 inch lower then it should.
If I just set the Z with the prob it is fine. When finished the Z goes up to the top just when it is homed. When I check the Z 0 it is spot on.
GSender has settings for an XYZ probe. You can’t just use any probe without adding those dimensions to the settings. Also, gSender doesn’t use a “lip” like the C3D probe uses. I turn my C3D probe upside down (after entering its dimensions) to do my Z-zero.
If your router goes all the way to the top, it usually has something to do with the Safe Zero value. When it hits the top, it will lose steps. That’s why your Z-zero will be off.
i did put all the dimensions in settings. The prob works fine for XY by itself but if I do the XYZ that is when it screws up.
I am setting the prob on the edge with the 2 lips on the corner and it sets XY just right.
If I set the prob on the edge just like setting the XY and only do a Z 0 it will work fine.
Now I have to find out why it hit the top when I do an XYZ.
Bill repeating that it works with z only will not help find out what is going on. Several people have asked you specific questions. They cannot help you unless you give them specific answers. We have a lot of talent on the forum but they need data to help you. Please respond with the asked for data and you will get help. With no specific data they would be shooting in the dark.
I don’t know what more data I can give.
The prob settings are: Z Thickness .867, XY Thickness .278, Length 2.363, Width 2.363.
I am not using a Macro.
The C3D prob works fine, if it is set on the edge (lips touching the side and front) the thickness is the same for the Z as turning it over.
I would love to give the retract height, but I cannot find that setting.
It should be the same for any probe with the built-in probe settings anyway. Next time you probe, can you copy paste the console output? I don’t use the probe routines.
What probe are you using?
This is the code for Z only.
