Work with probe

hmm... i didn't notice the mix_limit = 5. I'll change that. That being said, that is for the joint 3, where the Z axis has a max limit of 0.001. i'm a little confused what the difference between these two values are, but it seems like it soft limits it at the 0.001 value, as far as i can tell my manually jogging and the machine stopping at a height of 0.001.

as for the the G53Z4.9 move, that would try to hit the limit switch. Are you getting that from line 31 in thepsng_manual_change.ngc file? like this line?

G53 G0 Z[#<_ini[AXIS_Z]MAX_LIMIT>+#<_ini[PROBE_SCREEN]Z_SAFE_TRAVEL_OFFSET>]

I thought this would evaluate to G53 Z-0.099, since my Axis Z max limit is .001

all that being said, i'm still very new to all of this so I probably don't understand things correctly all the time (well, no probably about it, i don't understand things correctly all the time

Uh, yes you're right. Well I'm new the "new" Joints/Axis setups, and didn't notice both have their own soft limits. Not sure which take precedence when, but for a trivial kinematics machine, I'd set them equal to each other. If changing the soft limits for Joint3 doesn't fix the problem, I'm not sure. Is that line the one that Linuxcnc is considering "line 33"?
G53 G0 Z[#<_ini[AXIS_Z]MAX_LIMIT>+#<_ini[PROBE_SCREEN]Z_SAFE_TRAVEL_OFFSET>]

Ah, I think I see it. It's this move.

G53 G0 Z[#<_ini[CHANGE_POSITION]Z>]

And in your ini you have that = 60

Should probably be 0 or how ever far down from the home position you'd like it to be when you change a tool. (again a negative number)

And again the TOOLSENSOR position you have set to 60, and it is also going to try to move you 60mm up from home. Set this to the absolute value of the Z where you want to start your Z tool probe move. (Probably 0 again for your short travel machine.)

i think the Axis takes precedent... but i'm only saying that because it stops at the axis limit, and it linuxCNC throws an error if the axis max is < the joint max (not sure if they can be equal, but that's an easy change to make anyways.

Oooooh, i think that's it. I was thinking it was line 33 of the gcode that was giving me an error, but now i think it's line 33 of the m6 remapper thing. that line is :

G53 G0 Z[#<_ini[CHANGE_POSITION]Z>]

which under the change_position group in the ini file it is set to Z=60. I should change that to Z=0 i think and maybe that'll fix it. I'll see if i can try this out in the next couple hours over lunch and report back. thanks for your help!

haha, didn't see your reply until now, you're too fast!

Don't forget the TOOLSENSOR z value. It needs changed to.
