Title: Probe not responding
Post by: Ben on April 27, 2012, 05:51:38 PM

I'm trying to get my probe to work again. In port and pins I have Index disabled and Probe enabled, assigned to port 1 pin 15 and active low. 
When I touch it to the touch plate the led on the BOB flashes each time and on the settings page the "Port 1 Pins current
State" changes also, but the program won't respond.  At one time this all worked (last year) so I'm checking the Gcode last.
Have I missed a setting somewhere?  Should the Index or Digitize LED on the settings page light up? What's your thoughts?
Thanks, Ben

The digitize LED on the settings page should light up.

The pin LED says that Mach knows that pin 15 has a signal but doesn't realize that it's a probe, so it's not lighting the digitizing LED.  So I think there is something
I've missed in the setup.
