Check if clicky probe is attached on startup

JADoglio

Original Post:
I would like to include a check at the beginning of some routines to see if the klicky probe is attached to the hot end and if it is ignore any commands to execute a deploy probe that follows. I believe that "if sensors.probes[0].value[0] == 0" is the right command for the test. I am not very knowledgeable on Python so I don't know what commands to add in the lines after that to tell the system not to deploy the probe again and just proceed as it already attached. This is not a situation that would occur very often.

Here are my failed attempts to make this work!

homez.g.txt
homeall.g.txt
deployprobe.g.txt

I would still appreciate some input on this post if anyone has any? Thanks

@JADoglio i have a similar probe to the clickeee

echo "Pick up Probe"
M564 S0                            ; let travel outside print zone
if sensors.probes[0].value[0]==0   ; if sensor is value other than 1000 do this, 0 = probe attached
	echo "Probe already picked up"
else	
	G1 X31.25 F12000                  ; X position of flint zone
	G1 Y-34 F12000                    ; Y position of flint zone
	M400                              ; wait for moves to finish
	G1 Y0 F6000                       ; slide probe out of dock - slowly
	M400                              ; wait for moves to finish
if sensors.probes[0].value[0]=1000 ;throughs a stop because coulnd get hold of sensor
	G1 X100 Y60 F10000  

	abort "Probe not picked up!"
M564 S1
echo "Pick up Probe fin"

Moth, thank you this is exactly what I needed. Here is the final version I wound up using, deployprobe.g.txt . Much appreciated.
