I've been looking at your Probing Utility and using it with the SmoothStepper. It appears to work very very well. Thank you for your efforts with this.
Just wanted to say thanks, and if I don't manage to crunch my probe first, I'll post some results. :-) I am using the TP-100.
Once you get the hang of it, this method of probing "within the lines" makes much more sense than the traditional square probing. I've been desperately seeking a faster method of probing and this may just do the trick.
You are correct how important the Accel settings are, they cannot be underestimated (in the context of Decel anyway).
Would you consider posting it on www.cnc4free.org? I have no affiliation with the site, but it may get more "air time" there.... just a thought.
Rich.
