Does Mach4 work without writing a script?

You can write a button script, a module with lua to work with.

If you use the built in module for probe moves no need to change anything, you only put the settings for your machine.

Resistors and ceramic capacitors prevent chattering.
Even excluding resistors and ceramic capacitors, it still says "GROUND PROBE".

Yes, i understand why are there but i don't see where the + at the capacitor to work for that. I am not an electronic so don't listen to me .
I hope some one else know more about that and help you.

I am almost sure that MACH4 is not your problem here.

I think MB3 is normal, but is my circuit wrong?

Where you found that circuit?
I can't say if is wrong or right but first time i see two GND to a sensor and a electrolytic capacitor not connected to +V.

It is displayed as GROUND PRO BE.
Please tell me the meaning.

This usually means that the probe is triggered. Your probe input send to Mach3/4 that probe hit the material when it shouldn't and that why you get the alarm.

I am sorry, i can't help you with that. You should ask someone/somewhere who knows about that board (MB3).

I'm using MB3.
Please tell me the solution in this case.

MB3 is the controller? I am not familiar with this one..

Is it okay to change the red frame in the photo?
I set the inside of the red frame to 0.5, but the problem is not solved.

That's the distance when probe hit material will lift away. Means that will retract 0.5mm, i would had this more like 5mm if is for simple height measure or z offset.

If you can, try with simple cables in probe input of your controller and simulate the probe movement, if it work means that is probe problem and not software (Mach4).

Something like this https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ee/57/eb/ee57eb9b0ee5061d2a870ae8fbcc683d.jpg

I'm currently using Nach4 DEMO.
Is this the cause?

No, demo shouldn't affect the use.

Change the settings/options at TouchOff UI to metric units like Retract Distance if is 0.1 do it 5 and Prep. Distance 0.5 to 15

Are you sure your probe work ok?
Is homemade/DIY?

Hi, you work with inches?
If you touch with hand the probe tip the probe led work as it suppose?
With G31 the probe led must turned on, not probe1 or probe2. Make sure at configure/control/inputs/probe is set the input of your controller.

The alert "ESS: Homing of axis completed successfully" pop out when probe hit work piece?
