Error: G30: Z probe point index out of range

devleon

Hey everyone!

I'm trying to test the accuracy between two of my z-probes for choosing the better one, and I'm trying the script from here: https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/1291/testing-resolution-accuracy-your-results-wanted-z-probe-results

Since the thread is locked and I don't want to dig up that thread, I'm making a new one for an issue I'm having.

When running the 36 probes 1 point script, in which I have just modified the X and Y position (see at the end), I get the following output when the script is finished:

11/29/2019, 1:36:15 PM	M98 P"0:/macros/Testing/Z-Probe Accuracy"
Error: G30: Z probe point index out of range
Error: G30: Z probe point index out of range
Error: G30: Z probe point index out of range
Error: G30: Z probe point index out of range

Any idea what's going on? I searched for the error message here and via google, but I found nothing. Is there another way to test z-probe accuracy?

Info: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet version 2.03 running on Duet WiFi 1.02 or later

Thanks!

Code for the script:

It could be that a single coordinate can only be probed 32 times. So Remove runs 32 to 35 and try again (you will then get 0 to 31 which probably is more than enough. I tried with 3, 7, 15 points and didn't get a different result between the latter).

The maximum number of G30 numbered probe points supported is 32 (P values 0 to 31).

BTW it's useful to run tests separately with the probe points approached from the +X, -X, +Y and -Y directions, to check for certain types of backlash in the positioning system.

Thanks very much for the feedback!

I found another script on the linked github repo: https://github.com/T3P3/GcodeMacros/blob/master/Calibration and Tuning/Diagnostics/Probe_Repeatability_test

Works fine now, got a mean deviation of around 0.00759 mm, seems good to me!
