Oddity during delta bed calibration
-
Just something odd I've noticed - when I hit auto cal for my delta, one of the points is almost always probed much slower than the others - it looks like it's about half the speed. It's random, too. Not always the same point. The piezo is sensitive enough it's not an issue, it still triggers fine. Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this? It was doing it on 1.18.1 firmware. I just upgraded to 1.20-beta6, and it did it again.
Here's my bed.g file (I could clean it up some, it has some leftover stuff from experimenting with various z-probes and settings):

You have selected analog mode (P1) in your M558 command. In this mode, when the Z probe reading reaches 90% of the value specified in the P parameter, it will slow down probing to 1/3 speed. Looks like you are sometimes getting a reading of 360-399 at the start of probing. So either switch to digital mode (P5), or increase the P parameter, or adjust the sensitivity of the probe.

Awesome, thanks David! Glad there's an explanation for how random it seemed.

Makes sense of this thanks, I've noticed this too. But since it didn't seem to cause any trouble just ignored it.
