Title: DRO on probe setting page (industrial)
Post by: Stuart on October 11, 2022, 07:15:53 AM

I have a 3d probe ( shop made and yes it triggers the led )

problem is I cannot input any data into the DRO to set any setting they will not update ?

I have checked and they are set to "enable in place "

the probe will work to do the z cal but only if the tip is almost (.2mm) off the vice not ideal

any ideas

don't bother guys/gals even with the correct values inserted into the ini file manually it don't work . sometimes it nearly works next probe nothing . next probe it ignores the feed rate and goes at at full rapid Z- lucky I was probing the calibration xy and the ring gauge has a hole below

I notice that this tab has been removed from the hobby version I wonder why?

What build number are you running?  (The build number is REALLY useful info when trying to find a solution.)  Have you tried a newer build?  Some of the screens had an error in the DRO update/modify scripts at one time. 

Also, Hobby probing is handled completely different than Industrial.  Industrial has full Macro B and thus you really can't compare Hobby and Industrial.  You can get Hobby style probing by running the hobby screen sets though.

I have tried a number of the builds inc the latest all exhibit the same faults unable to update the DRO and as above very random results.

you say the hobby screen set would give the hobby style probing but the probing tab is not present in the hobby screens that I have looked at only the new probe set ,

the last build. of industrial still has the probe tab with the calibration / settings as well as the new probe set

thanks for the reply I can't give you the build no. at this time as I am not in the workshop but lounging on the settee.

as I have a few jobs to do I think I will hold fire until you release a new public build

Perhaps you can give me some more information about the issue.  Like a screen shot showing the DRO?  Have you made a ticket with the support guys?  If not, I would do so.  They will get all of the pertinent info and they may already know of a solution. 

We are trying to get a new release out and if there is a screen issue, I would like it fixed before the release.

Stuart,

We have updated all the probing Dro's so they all should be updating with user input.  we are slated to put a new build up on the FTP server shortly.

Thank you for reporting this!
