Mach4 General Discussion / Re: complex probe moves not working
« on: December 23, 2020, 03:22:40 AM »
When I ran into this problem I started with the UC400 module. At a certain point I realized that the the UC400 driver is my problem in so many issues that I had to say the UC400 is not usable with Mach4 at all. So this as a warning to all.
I swapped the Ethernet board to the ESS and almost all problems disappear beside your problem mentioned above. From what I've learned so far Mach4 is making the preparation moves as probing moves in case it hits something. But in default configuration the ESS driver expects to hit something before the move is over. This does not happen with the preparation moves.
This behavior can be set up in the ESS config at the probing page. Here set the option not to generate an error if probing fails. Then it works.
