    Hi there,
    I'm using a generic sort of xyz probe and everything works fine. There's a sort of corner mark, where I position the probe, but when I then start the probing process, the bit moves what I assume to be an inch in X and Y direction, putting it nearly exactly above the LED in my probe... Sooner or later this is going to cause a problem. I could of course position the probe a bit farther away to start with, but my fence zero is quite close to the limit switches so then when the probing process goes to finding the corner, it triggers the switches.
    Hence my question: where can I find and change the routine, so I can have the bit move a bit less before the actual probing.

    Thanks

    CONTROL or Interface?

    On the control software mainly. It never occurred to me the interface would have it's own built in system. would that also be editable?

    You can only edit the probe plate size in Control. Not how far it moves. You can add your own probing macros in the Macros tab.

    Interface is using the probing macros located on the usb drive so its easy to edit those. Once you edit those, you can copy that code into a macro in Control.

    Here's the probing routines that get saved to the usb for Interface: OpenBuilds-CONTROL/app/wizards/interface/PROBE at master · OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CONTROL
