CNC Duet 3 XYZ probe G10 Error: G10: Bad or missing parameter
-
Greetings one and all. I have searched, and still searching, for a solution to the G10 "bad or missing parameter" error and have decided to open this topic for a possible solution. And, also so I can post my probe macros for others, as well as invite those that have solved the XYZ probe enigma to post theirs.
Home all and I receive X=0 Y=0 Z=60 on the DWC. I jog bit to the center of the hole on the Openbuilds XYZ Probe Plus. Magnet attached to the spindle and I start the "Z-Probe" macro and the probe moves to the middle of the probe plate and then moves along Z to touch the plate and the plate indicates contact and illuminates green LEDs on the plate. Z moves up 5mm and then the G!0 error is displayed on the DWC.
Most of my work is a hack in progress. The macro was taken from an archive off the Openbuilds site. Still trying to develop an understanding of Gcode regarding CNCs. I want to use the probe on X and Y also ...

@Max3D said in CNC Duet 3 XYZ probe G10 Error: G10: Bad or missing parameter:
G10 L20 P0 Z9
I have not used this command myself but I wonder if you need X and Y parameters as well as Z?

Thanks for the reply.
No it does not matter. Some time yesterday I tried "G10 L20 P0 X0 Y0 Z9" (9=probe plate thickness) as well as changing L20 to L2 and L1 with the same resulting error. There aren't that many parameters that I can change. P references the tool number L references the modes of the tool offset in the workplace coordinate system and XYZ.So just for fun (just now), I edited the probe macro and added X340 Y43 as the current coordinates from the DWC after jogging to the probe position. The code in the macro = "G10 L20 P0 X340 Y43 Z9". I ran the macro and the same error occurred:
M98 P"0:/macros/Z-Probe.g
Error: G10: Bad or missing parameters -
Hi,
For L=2 or L=20 the P parameter (the coordinate system number) ranges from P1 to P9
Did you try that?

BINGO! YES! YES! YES!
Houston we have Lift-Off... "fcwilt", thanks for the fix-up ma-man (or ma-mam)....
Thank you too "T3P3Tony".I edited config.g to change the tool number from 0 to 1, and edited the Z-Probe.g macro to "G10 L20 P1 Z9". I commented out the M501 in the custom settings in the config.g because I no longer need it. I jogged the bit to the probe and ran the macro successfully.
Z-Probe.g macro for the Openbuilds XYZ Probe Plus that will probe and reposition for another axis. I'll post the X and Y macros here when I finish them, as well as the XYZ combo macro, for 1/8 and 1/4 bits.

I'm back to post the probe macros as stated above. I kind of got lost trying to do all axes in one macro and ran into trouble with the the offset, end-mill radius, saving and restoring a tool position with the G60 command, DWC workstation coords were not making sense, and I couldn't figure out why the G38.2 only ran in a negative direction on some macros, etc... Then applied the tried and true K.I.S.S. technique and then the DWC showed me zeros on all axes at the workpiece origin. Yeah baby!
The macros below are a jog to an axis position before you start the probe macro. This should be a easy start for all of us CNC noobs out there trying to get started cutting some material and making stuff.
The macros are simple straight forward easy to edit starting point. When your are ready to make a "do-all axes at once" macro, I found that calling each separate axis macro within a single macro with the M98 command the best way to prevent an error message from the DWC stating that the probe was already triggered after probing the first axis in the code.
I hope this helps to get you started.
Jog-Q-X-Probe.g The Q stands for a 1/4 (quarter) inch end-mill. The macro needs to be edited for 1/8 or any other size.

The touch plate has a 14mm hole at the X0, Y0, Z0 coords of the touch plate that can be used as a start and end point for each individual axis macro so you can call them all in a single macro. When I tried to run a macro that triggered the probe more than once I received an error from the DWC. I am not sure if the error was significant enough to cause the a problem with the coordinate system since I abandoned the hack for the M98.
