Hi, i have PMDX125 break out board and cant get the Z-probe to work, well it works but not the way i understand it needs to work. By this i mean the probe comes down and touches the metal plate which is 6mm thick. Backs off a number, lets say 12.34mm and starts to come down again, toches and retracts to a number, say 8.56mm again. After this the z-axis DRO is at a value which deosn't mean much. As I understood the process is z-axis comes down and touches the plate (6mm) and stops, backs off 0.25mm and sets the Z-Axis 6.25. Hope somebody can help. Thank you and regards. John
