      I have 2 z motors and I'm strying to auto level my gantry but am having some issues. I have my bed.g as

      while true
          G30 P0 X20 Y100 Z-99999 ; probe near a leadscrew, half way along Y axis
          G30 P1 X180 Y100 Z-99999 S2 ; probe near a leadscrew and calibrate 2 motors
          if abs(move.calibration.initial.deviation) < 0.01 || iterations > 3
              break
      

      when I first tried this the other day it worked perfectly but now when I run G32 my machine crashes into the bed of my cnc without even moving to the x,y corrdinates.

      I can't figure out why it woked Saturday but not today. There were not any other changes made to my config.g or anywhere else.

      I am using a 3 way touchplate and the bit to probe. Everything works as expected when I run my probe z macro to find the surface of the work peice.
      please let me know if you have any insights.

        Are you starting from a homed state?

            @Alijambo73 it seems it had something to do with the z offset getting saved in config-override.g. this seems to be working well```
