Attached is Tool Probe VB code I use (but I use with Parallel Port).
You need to change 2 Z values to suit your plate thickness and retracting height (commented in RED)
Or get the idea and edit the code you already have.

General Mach Discussion / New guy frustration LOL

I am new to the forum new to CNC and new to mach3 so here I am.
I bought a machine and I am now trying to configure mach3 and I am moving along slowly and having troubles with my probe/ touch plate.
Right now I am looking for a new script that will enable me to use the touch plate. The one that I got from YouTube seemed to work but it would send my spindle 6in off the material surface and when I tried to run code it ran the code 6 in off the work surface. So I want to find a new script and see if that was the issue.
any and all help is appreciated and I will do my best to learn to navigate the forums as soon as possible thanks for your patience and help.
I am in the United States. Mid Michigan to be exact
