Mike,

The "sanity check"  revealed that the tool travels about 1.5mm too far in the -Z axis after touching off and returning to zero.  I compensated by fudging the thickness of the touch plate in the setup.

I have attached some pics of my scratch build CNC.......getting closer to making wood chips.

THANKS for your help.

Cheers

Daryl

I am seeing this same problem. I increased the MillSleep to 75 and it improved probing, I can now find one side of a ring, but it moves to the second probe point and then gives the cant transition error.

I loaded the latest version of the plugin today- April 1, 2018.

I am having probing problems that started to occur with the new firmware.  when I do a probe an go back to z0, it overshoots by .048ish and will not complete command.  Debug shows that the board is not sending a motor 02 stop.  for more info, please see post on M4 forum.  any help would be appreciated.  I have not changed the millisleep time since I dont know if it pertains and what I am affecting.


Thanks
