Its a CNC router table, looks pretty decent from the pictures.

2kw water-cooled spindle, electronics look ok too from what info there. It was possibly a kit as i recognise some of the parts.

As to value, sorry but i couldn't say really, check eBay etc for "CNC router table" maybe and see if anything pops up that is a similar size??

Sounds like the outputs for step and direction have been swapped.

It is reversing on each step and only moving when told to change direction, one step.

Great, thanks.

There was only one that was below 50, all the rest were ok but good to know.

Just a correction, i gave some misinformation earlier.

Do NOT use G28.1 - it will NOT work in your case, G28.1 is a homing/ref move and uses a normal input NOT the probe input.

Stick with G31 as that is the proper one and uses the probe/digitise input.

If you are metric then -4 might not even be enough to make it work?

try -100

but use the actual touch-plate not a key or mouse :)

Ah, i only guessed you were inches by the small numbers Z-2 etc, you will need those made up to something like Z-100 or so.

Anyway, if the motion does NOT stop regardless of probe then there is a configuration issue somewhere.

I have had NO luck in reproducing a probe input using the keyboard etc, never could get that to work.

I would NOT bother with the CS_LABS M31 code yet - its more complex and harder to debug, it will NOT work unless you can get the motion to stop when the plate is grounded - that is rule No1 to fix. The code DOES work though as i use it all the time.
