Crash with Z probe X/Y offset
-
So I'm setting up my DC42 IR probe and I set an X/Y offset in the firmware for the probe. I run into an issue though when I am trying to probe the bed. It seems like the G32 command is taking into account the X/Y offset and disregarding endstop limits. When I run G32 it home normally, but it crashes on the first probe point (I stop it there.) The first probe point is at 6,0. The probe is offset about 31mm in the +Y direction, so it is trying to move to -31Y to probe, which obviously won't work. Any way I can fix this, or should I just leave the probe offset at 0,0?

You can ajust your probe points so probe can actually reach those points. Say, if your Y0 is physically your Y limit and probe offset is Y31, then you should probe at X6 Y35 (for example) instead of X6 Y0.

@aidar Is there a way for it to automatically adjust that so it will go as far as it can? I kind of figured the software would do that, but I guess not.
-
Not for G32 since you are providing the coordinates. G29 will follow the grid provided by m557 and will skip unreachable areas, but even there it's best to adjust the grid size to maximize your probable area.

@phaedrux I'm using 4 independent lead screws. The documentation said it was best to use G32. Should I just use G29 instead?
-
For independent lead screw leveling you should still use G32 to run bed.g. you could use G29 afterwards for mesh grip mapping of the surface and active compensation.

Okay cool. I'll just adjust accordingly. Any idea how accurate the lead screw positions need to be? Is there any way I can have it auto map the leadscrew positions?
-
@surgikill I don't think you can automate it but I think the easiest way to find the coordinates would be to manually position the print head to place the probe at the closest location to the lead screw that you can and record the X Y.
You can run the leveling multiple times if need be to get the leveling closer. 2 or 3 times should be enough. If it doesn't even out at that point there may be other issues.
