Z-probe command (G30) causes runaway in X and Y
-
I've just set up my coreXY and can home both X and Y axis but cannot for the life of me work out how to probe the Z.
The homing endstops are at the positive end of travel for both the X and Y and they home no problem but when I hit home Z the printer runs very slowly diagonally back to X/Y zero then probes the bed, the probe triggers and causes the bed to drop to its maximum and then for no apparent reason the head takes off in an X negative and Y positive diagonal until the carriage crashes.
I initially se it up with reprap configurator and have had this problem from the start.
Thankyou

can you post your config.g and homeall.g files?

I have posted up the entire contents of both,
Thankyou

This says that your z probe is 125mm away from your nozzle in both x and y. Is that correct?

You can also speed up your homing of x and y a bit for corexy.

I changed the offset when I was mucking about trying to find out what was going on.
I've changed it back to what it should be.The problem is when I issue a G30 command my understanding was the bed would come up and trigger the probe at the current X and Y position. Is this not the case?
-
If you home x and then y and then move the head to the center of the bed and issue a g30 from the console does it still do that weird behavior described in the first post? Or does that only when you do g28?

@nichkos said in Z-probe command (G30) causes runaway in X and Y:
The problem is when I issue a G30 command my understanding was the bed would come up and trigger the probe at the current X and Y position. Is this not the case?
G30 without any additional parameters will run deployprobe.g unless the firmware thinks the Z probe is already deployed, move the head down or bed up until the probe triggers, then if it ran deployprobe.g it will run retractprobe.g to retract the probe. So if it is doing something strange, delete any deployprobe.g and retractprobe.g files in /sys on the SD card that you didn't intend to have.
G30 with XY parameters and Z-(a lot) will move the head so that the probe is at the specified XY coordinates, taking account of the XY nozzle offset that you specified in your G31 command. It's up to you to make sure that you have specified sensible XY coordinates in G30 and sensible XY offsets in G31, because the usual limit checking is not done for G30 moves.

That's all it was. I deleted both deploy and retract probe files from the SD and problem solved.
Thanks so much for that dc42. Because I was using the IR probe I never even looked at the deploy or retract so couldn't work out where the command to move outside of the soft limits was coming from and I never read anywhere in the G30 or G28 codes about deploying or retracting.
Thanks mate
