Where is the code for a Z probe?

jdefant

I have a BLTouch on my FT-5. Not sure if this is an issue with my BLTouch or something in the firmware/Config. Whenever I home Z, the probe is done at the center of the bed. So far so good. Then as soon as the probe detects the bed the bed drops down 5 or 10mm as you would expect. Here is the problem...the bed drops so hard and fast it sounds like the belt is going to snap!
Does anyone know where the code is that tells the bed to drop after a probe is detected? I often get a G28 error after this happens!

The M558 can G1 commands contain the configuration settings.

I have a coreXY with a heavy bed as well and had a similar problem with the short rapid moves during probing so I modify the Z axis movement speeds in the homing files temporarily.
