General Mach Discussion / Mach3 probe problem

« on: February 23, 2011, 12:14:17 AM »

I am using mach3 with machblue.set.
I set up my probe and grounded the mill head so that the tool tip could activate on my probe plate.  When I activated the probe ... it went down to touch and when it made contact ... it tried to go down instead of retract the standard distance?  I had set the thickness of my probe plate as a positive number. 

What is going on here?  Why did it go down, touch off, then go down more instead of retracting.  Sometimes it works correctly.... sometimes not.  I don't think I have any noise on the lines and even if I did ... would this happen?

Could relative vs absolute gcode setting have anything to do with it?

Any feedback/advice appreciated.
