Probe not retracting
« on: January 09, 2022, 01:29:26 PM »
Using Mach4 and CNC4PC Smoothstepper with Touch Sensor. I'm completely new to CNC so struggling to figure this out. Using G31.0 to probe and the plasma tip as the conductive touch sensor. I have been using the TouchOff UI and it does the touch off as set in the parameters but it will not retract. The log shows the probe touches but then errors that the probe touch is lost and doesn't retract. The touch sensor trips off once it detects touch and that seems to cause an error for Mach4. How do I get Mach4 to understand that it just need to go up the retract distance after the Plasma Touch Sensor triggers and not continue to look for a signal? The history log is below.

ESS starting Probe 0

ESS: Successful Probe0 Strike. Probing finished.
