Shared configuration parameters between Z-Probe types
-
Hi, I have recently switched from a pure probe setup to a combination of
- a z-switch used to establish Z0
- an inductive NPN NO zprobe to perform the bed mapping
I am using switch types P4 for the inductive Probe and P7 for the switch. My understanding was that by using
G31 T7 and
G31 T4I could set offsets for each probe individually and then would merely have to switch between the two probing systems at appropriate times using M558,
however it seems that I need to pass the appropriate G31 calls everytime as well. The Z Probe article on the wiki does not include the latest
probe types and the doc for G31 mentions that "Separate G31 parameters may be defined for different probe types (i.e. 0+4 for switches, 1+2 for IR probes and 3 for alternative sensors)"Does this mean when I call
G31 T4 ….
and then
G31 T7 ....
i am essentially overwriting the parameters even though the T parameter is different? -
Just as a tangeant to this, why not have two macros, each one has the complete M558, G31 commands, then just run whichever macro for whichever setup you want?

Z probe types 1,2,5,8 and 9 share a set of parameters. Types 4,6,7 share another set, and type 3 has a set all to itself. So you could connect one of your Z probes to the Z probe connector and use type 5 for that one.
