Tlui sorry to hear of you wifes illness. Welcome back.

I have installed 2019-01-22-106 on V2.1

I have a test program as follows

%
G0 X0 Y0 Z10
M101
G91 G01 Z-50.0 F500.0

M102
G04P0

G90 G92 Z0.0
%

I have a wire connected to the Probe terminal, I have a wire connected to the GND-I terminal
I manually move to X-20 Y40 Z-30

I run test.nc
Beneath the Coordinate display the controller shows
2: G0 X0 Y0 Z10 Whilst the system is making that move and the cordinates are changing
When the coordinate display shows X 0.00 Y 0.00 Z 10.00 the line below the coordinate display shows
3: G91 G0 Z-50.0 F500.0
The controller shows X0.00 Y0.00 Z10.00 busy and the Z axis does not nothing move

I the past I have tried with different installs and the Z axis has moved down but with no action when the wires are touched.

How do I get "Probe" to work?

The Motion.out file size is correct.

Can you upload your configuration file (setting, uservar) to the forum?

I have just checked "probe.nc" this runs and Z moves down but does not respond to touching the wires. The line under the coordinate display shows - synatax check 28...

Is your controller version 1.1 or 2.1? If it is version 1.1, you need to connect PROBE to +12V-l.

As I said in my post it is V2.1 so NPN input.

If you are using version 2.1, we need to do some checks. You can measure the voltage across R10. If PROBE is disconnected from GND, the voltage should be 0V; otherwise the voltage should be around 3V. If the result of your measurement is not the case, the U8 optocoupler is damaged and needs to be replaced.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
That was my first thought and I checked a while ago. Checked again today. With power on and probe not connected to ground the voltage across R6 is 0v with probe terminal taken to ground it is 3.1v. This matches all of the other opto-isolators on the limit inputs. As a comment the only visible mod to the board is a 3.6k resistor between R85 and pin 16 of U22.

Attachment installer, I use the A HOME signal as the PROBE signal, you can try it.

I installed the files and controller now shows as 2019-03-01 106NOR
I did not clear my original settings.
Wires now connected to GND-I and A-Home terminals. Ran the same Test.nc file and it does not recognise the touching of the wires during the move from Z10 to Z-50, it just continues to the end of the Z move where it resets Z to Zero.
Now deleted Uservar and rebooted. Set parameters in Uservar to defaults. Ran Test.nc, does not recognise A-Home terminal taken to ground and released. Motion.out size shows as 1683819 just to show I have loaded the correct install.
Sorry to give you grief, what do you suggest?
I see that others have downloaded the install file. Can someone confirm that Probing using A-Home works for them.

Sorry I cannot see how to add an attachment to a reply. However remember I deleted my uservar and rebooted to cretae a new one which I just added drive parameters to so that I could run. Still had the same problem.
I have attached the uservar and test.nc files to a mail to support, I hope you can get it.
