I have the latest ESS plugin and Mach4 version and I'm trying to calibrate a probe.
I've filled out the probe settings page and have moved onto calibration.

When trying to calibrate x and y with a gauge ring the result is the machine moving into x and y zero, Z to probing height (-3), but then gives me a "Probing Error" followed by disabling Mach4

My history says,
ESS starting Probe 0
ESS: Failure! Probe0 never hit or the allowed distance was traveled. Switching from PROBING to NORMAL state.
ERROR: No contact with probe

This is as far as I've got. Has anyone struck this before, I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

G31 x10 f25 in the MDI works as I assume it should. (Same for Y and Z).
Is it necessary to calibrate the probe? Can I just fill in the touch off parameters (under the touch button) and go?

Been playing around in the "Touch off UI" and it works like it should when using the single side touch functions but when I try to use the corner functions it will touch Z, move up Z, then out in Y to where it should drop down in Z but stops instead. A few seconds go by and the same error pops up again.

ESS: Failure! Probe0 never hit or the allowed distance was traveled. Switching from PROBING to NORMAL state.
ERROR: No contact with probe.

It's almost like there's to much data for it to process so it faults?

No one has come across this huh? Must be something in the computer.

Hi,
Did you ever sort this out. I am having the same issue.
Thanks

I'm trying to calibrate my probe and I'm getting the same problem for xy calibration or radius calibration. I can run a normal bore probe cycle just fine. Same problems and history as the original poster

No resolve on this yet. I don't know if it's software related or hardware that's causing the issue. Haven't had much time to work on it ether. I've been working around the issue by manually probing.

Hello.
Please look at the photo. I got a similar error.
And I've already been featured in this forum.
It will be Reply # 12.

In my case, probe was an experiment with a manual switch.
Therefore, I thought that I could only experiment with a real milling machine. Also, I thought that the script was not made like a manual switch.

If you touch the probe before Z reaches the inspection point, it behaves like a video.

Mr.gyrojeremy.
Hello.
After all, it was causing the same phenomenon as I was.
I am also a DIY probe.
When touched, the current flows to GND.
Wouldn't these things get angry with a real Probe?
When I watch the video, I wonder why it's different from me.

Does anyone know of a way to manually enter the radius calibration number?
