Hi:

  One other thing, use desktop properties/settings/advanced/troubleshooting and turn down the hard acceleration by 3 ticks.. It may help..

Mike:


    , I didnt suggest straightening as a long term option. Probeing is something that will have to have a few "strategies". At the moment, we have only the Grid stategy. This will work for many things, but we'll need more to deal with other things. Your acute edge is a perfect example. A spiral strategy I think will fix that one, The point of the test so far is to find the weaknesses in it, and its doing pretty well, but I dont think there is any "one fits all" type of probing that will work. IT will take a few output types in terms of movements. The grid is fine, but I think Ill revise it to make it more easily rectangualr, then Ill add a spiral. In order to maintain safety, rather than try to override the pullup and pullout behaviours which seem to have proved themseves, I think simply different shape strategies will be the final solution. I shoudl have another one soon.

Thanks

Hi:

 Those are pretty horrible circles. Sorta chewy parabolas glued together..

 First, you need to back up and run some tests.

Zero your machine.

Command G0X10 and measure it. Did it move exactly 10?
Do same for the Y.
Repeat 10 times , is it the same each time.

Now, mark a spot, zero on that spot. Command a file with

G0X10
G0X0
(repeat 10 times)

 Did it come back to zero..exactly...
If not, rezero, repeat 10 more times. Is it off the same distance, or different?

We'll go from there..

Regards,

Mike:

  You need to straighten out that edge. Your accel is probably a bit low, so by the time the probe makes on that edge, 5 backups wont get off. Striaghten the edge so it doesnt hit so accutely.. IT will likely work then..
