Bad character '0' used - Setting up touch plate was created by ReduX_Hz
Hey everyone, new to the forums here.
I am trying to set up a touch plate and am using HAL for the first time (learning a lot). I followed this video on how to add it, and when I click the Z Touch Plate button I get "Bad character '0' used" error in the lower right.
I was wondering if someone could take a look at my config to see if I have something spelled wrong, or a 0 for a O somewhere.
I appreciate anyone taking the time to look!

I can't look at this on my phone currently as the file type is unsupported.
But I get this error when I have a bad line of g code entered. Something like G1 F35 Z0. instead of G1 F35 Z0
Linuxcnc doesn't accept a decimal without numbers behind it. .450 or 0.450 are fine but when you enter a 0. something it wants more numbers or no decimal of it's just zero. Being a touch off I am guessing you have this typo in there somewhere.

You have "zero" <z_touch> in two places, it should be "O <z_touch>"

0 <z_touch> sub
G10 L20 P0 Z0 (set current Z = 0)
G91 (switch to relative coordinates)
G38.2 Z-10 F25 (probe down using a fast feedrate)
G92 Z5.0 (set Z = plate thickness)
G0 Z.1 F10 (move up by 0.1mm)
G38.2 Z-1 F1 (2nd pass: probe down using a slow feedrate to get better accuracy)
G92 Z5.0 (set Z = plate thickness)
G90 (switch to absolute coordinates)
G0 Z10 F25 (move to 10mm above work piece)
0 <z_touch> endsubYou have "zero" <z_touch> in two places, it should be "O <z_touch>"

Sorry for the delayed reply, I just became a Dad a couple of day ago and am now catching up on computer stuff.
I will go back and check both of those things. Thank you guys!
