just one quick question,, is it possible to use different plate thicknesses for the fixed and movable plate... other wise ill just buy some machined stock

hi, most of my stuff is chinese, a PERK or DRAWBACK for living there, but from what i believe my usb controler is maybe russian, at leats thats what the website looks like haha, this is my board


https://www.nvcnc.net/zkmotion.html

thaks i will try them now, should i just copy them to the macro folder and over write the original ones included with the installer (im sorry im not really sure how macros work and im glad there is people like you there to write them)

its a ZKmotion controller.. im very surprised at how well it works, and how simple it is to set up, all tho every now and then it seams to have a problem where in the middle of a job  mach 3 says my axis are still running but theirs no movement from the steppers, but matbe one day i will figure that bug out

i bought the 2010 screen set yesterday...  i have it all installed and im still getting used to where everything is located..  im loving the look and feel, but first thing i need help with is, after touching off the touch plate, instead of rising 1mm and retouching the plate, the  z axis rises almost to the top of my z, and then slowly descends about 50mm, (doesnt touch the plate again) then moves to the fixed plate position and starts the fixed plate probing... i spent a few hours trying to figure out the problem, but i must be missing something, im pretty new to cnc, mach.. but i am competent enough have built the cnc and wiring.. so i must have a setting wrong somewheer

my units are in mm
z axis has about 100mm travel
Z- is toward table Z+ is up to homing switch
touch off block is 20mm (on top of table top, just untill i have it working)
probe works and signal shows active when the plate is touched

ive watched the set up videos at least 10 times
and read the instruction pdf cover to cove 3 times
any help would be amazing, thanks in advance
