Don't estop on probe fail

[Aiph5u (Aiph5u (not affiliated with Onefinity))]

Hey Kevin,

if you’re in manual mode, you must jog (move) your bit i.e. your milling motor closer to the touch probe before starting the zeroing process. You move it with the arrow buttons on display or with the gamepad if you own one.

If you’re in program mode, you can modify the settings in the “tool-change” field in the General Configuration Tab, → as described here ←. Often people have a default g-code in this field which may not be usable.

@Aiph5u

you may adust the settings e.g. for the height of your touch probe and also the value with which Z is raised at tool-change position in order to fit your bit lengths. You may also alter the position where the tool change has to be done (if you don’t like it to be done at the home position). Hope this helps, the g-code commands are all explained if you follow the link above. You could also first test them one by one in the MDI field (maybe without a bit first) in order to learn to know them and what they are doing.
