Baby stepping steps back.

@johnmaundrell, just a quick thought on this - what is your minimum Z limit? Are you trying to go below that limit? This is what I have in my config.g (note the Z -0.5 part)
; Axis Limits
M208 X8 Y5 Z-0.5 S1 -
@johnmaundrell I reported this year's ago and even provided a video. Deny deny deny...

@jens55 I dont really understand how the minimum Z value is noted in the code or the relationship between trigger height and minimum Z height. If you could explain this it would help many thanks.
-
@jens55 My M208 X0 Y0 Z0 S1

@johnmaundrell RRF doesn't let you go outside the machine limits. So when you babystep lower than Z0, because your lower Z limit is 0, it won't go any further. Setting it to Z-1 allows you to go below 0
-
@jay_s_uk Ok thanks understand that. Can you tell me which command sets the actual trigger height please.
-
@johnmaundrell G31 in your config.
There is a process for calibrating the trigger height

@jay_s_uk I have tried this set up but it appears that after I set it all up it fails to save the data and then reverts back to the original setting. I can also only set it up in the homed position not in the centre of the bed.
-
@johnmaundrell M564 S0 dosent disable the axis position
-
@johnmaundrell you need to save the probe offset yourself. config.g is never changed unless you're the one doing the change.
-
@johnmaundrell I have to go out now but I will try again this evening thanks everyone so far for your help. I will gradually get a better understanding with your help. G31 is a good start.
-
@johnmaundrell Ahh I was thinking probe offset was only XY not Z as well!!!
