BL touch trig height in “web UI console” vs “web UI top left”
-
I'm wondering why my trigger height reading from the web UI console window is sometimes different from the Z height at the web UI head position reading (top left in DW screen)
Any explanation?
What reading is now correct?
I've repeated the shown example twice - both time the same readings.
See below: -
@johncoffee I don't use a BLT touch but my best guess would be that the difference is the Z offset.
-
The "stopped" height is the machine Z coordinate. The displayed height is the user Z coordinate. The following all cause the two to be different:
- A G10 Z offset for the current tool
- Baby stepping (send M290 to see if any is in effect)
- Bed compensation (send G29 S2 to cancel it)
- Workplace coordinate offsets

This answers my question. Thanks a lot for your detailed explanations!
