Terry, just tried it with a few delays and thus far no luck - I'll try some more experimenting tomorrow. BUT - how's this for wierd?
I just noticed that it fails to work in a pattern. I went back to Art's wizard and set it to probe 100mm in the X and 50mm in the Y with a stepover of 5mm. It turns out that whenever X is 0 or 5 or between 95 and 175 it works fine, any other value of X i.e. between 10-90 and 180-200 and it doesn't. i.e. it fails in "stripes" in the Y direction. Regular as clockwork
Tomorrow I'm going to probe my whole table and I'm betting it spells something out - like playing a sabbath album backwards
