Probe Basic tool touch off gives "Probe tripped during non-probe move"

Hi,

I'm trying to get my toolsetter to work, but i'm running into "Probe tripped during non-probe move" just as the probe is tripped. I've been though a lot of the usual stuff i found on the forum, like electrical noise, debouncing and so on....I'm fairly new to gcode, macros and stuff, so bear with me on this...

I'm using all the standard stuff that comes with Probe Basic, but looking at the "default" tool-touch-off macro here: 
github.com/kcjengr/probe_basic/blob/0490...ol_touch_off.ngc#L59
(And again later in line 69 with the slow probe retract)

I think that this G1-move might be the one causing my issue? I'm trying to understand why this isn't a G38.5 move instead? Then it would be a probe-movement which allows the probe to be triggered while moving...at least as far as i've understod...or maybe a combination of a G38.5 first and then a G1 move, since G38.5 stops after untripping the probe per the documentation...am i completely off here?

I've been really hesitant to post this, because a lot of people use this macro(i guess?) and i assume it work for all of these people, so chances are very high that I'm mistaken and something else is going on...

Any input will be highly appreciated! Thanks!

Try removing slow probe by setting to zero and set fast probe to around 8ipm. You're likely going to slow causing the trigger to bounce physically rather than make a clean break. The work fine as written and are used by thousands of users so I would find the right balance of speed and accuracy.
