When testing with the new Carbide Motion, things happen a bit differently, but the result is the same.

After installation, launch the program:
(if necessary, configure per: Shapeoko Machine Setup )
Connect:
Initialize:
and the machine will initialize and then move to the front.
Clamp stock on the machine:
position the BitZero on it appropriately for the sort of probing which one wishes to do:
Verify that the ground lead creates a signal:
Install a probing pin and position the machine so that it is over the circle to begin a probe and clip on the ground lead:
and test that the ground lead works as expected by touching the probe to the tool (no photo — only have two hands)
Then probe — if need be, choose the appropriate BitZero type:
Select the correct tool:
Next
Begin Probe
The machine will:
- probe down to find Z
- lift, then move left, then down, then probe right to find X
- lift, move right, then forward, thend down, then probe towards the back of the machine to find Y
- lastly it will lift, move back and left and if the BitSetter is enabled will prompt:
Ok
at which point it will measure the tool — it will then return to the Probe position, where if one removes the unit and uses the CM interface to Rapid Position to XY and Z zero:
One will find the machine has found the origin relative to the probed stock:
