i have a stepmores 10*5 cnc running mach3,,,,,i have tried screenset 2010,,,,bigtex probing screenset,,,,i am having issues with both,,,,,,,sometimes it works ,,,other times it drives the cutter into the bed,,,,,not consistent,,,alot of the times it retracts the z axis triggering e stop...the machine is running a xhc motion card. has anyone had any success on a chinese machine with double probing macros?

There are alternative macros on my website for use with the 2010 screenset and Chinese controllers. Have you tried those?

ill download and try those ,,ill let you know how i get on,,,,,,,,thanks

i have tried the chinese macros,,,still the issue remains,,,,,i will remove the fixed tool probe completely,,and try the toolchange using the moveable probe which came on the machine just to rule out interferance..

Interference won't cause it to drive into the bed.

i have installed the chinese macros,,,,seems to be running better although there was  a few glitches,,,,a few times after the fixed plate touch off ,the spindle did not retract ,just stayed in the fixed plate location....i will load some gcode tomorrow and try a test cut and see how it goes.

I suspect that it's your XHC card. I know that some people could not get that card to work correctly.

I have been planning on upgrading  to uccnc ...so i will probably go down that road,,,,,thanks again ger21.....

From XHC plugin change log

V2.38.4 2015.7.8
1. add probe variable 2000-2003,but it maybe still could not compatible with mach3 screen 2010.
if you want to probe with screen 2010, please replace the GetVar(2002) with getoemdro(802),
GetVar(2001) with getoemdro(801),GetVar(2000) with getoemdro(800).

thanks reuelt for your reply,,,i have downloaded the latest update for my card and will transfer it to the plugins folder of mach3,,,,regarding the replacement of "GetVar(2002) with getoemdro(802),
GetVar(2001) with getoemdro(801),GetVar(2000) with getoemdro(800)" .,,,,,,do i need to do this in certain macro files or all of them ??
