Setting up Mesa 7i76e - issues

Hi all.
Eventually, it seems I got my new setup working.
Or at least, the homing procedure does well.
Now I' going on with other issues.
The next big issue is my Z-touch probe.
I wired the probe to +24V and to input07; same as for the limit/home switch, the only difference I set up the probe in config.hal
The Z-touch procedure run a gcode file (100.ngc)

Basically, it seems to work, but I have some issues I can't fix (my ignorance):
- I adapted (or better, i tried to) the old hal settings based on my old board (china parport) to the new 7i76e; I mean, for sure I messed something (or all....)
- anyway, by running the code, the axis run slow to touch the plate, but the plate need to be touched for 1 full second, before the system detects the touch, the motor stops and backs and the new 0 is set. But in that second the axis keep going down; and this isn't good.

I'm pretty sure it depends on the debounce setting (and I'm sure I did it in the wrong/worst way), but honestly I don't know how to fix it.

Any help?

Thankyou

Andrea

in custom.hal:

setp debounce.0.delay 300

Sets the debounce delay to 300 servo periods = 0.3 seconds

I would expect that this should be 5 or less

I tried with both settings (100 & 300),but i didn't see differences.
Btw,i made some test by marking an old broken bit and marking the different height between start and stop probing
Both settings,the bit travels about 0.3 mm before the detecting of the touch.
This could be unhealty for some kind of tiny bits (such v-bit 0.1 or similar)....

Umm 100ms is still _WAY_ too long

I think PCW thought you should try with smaller values. That's why he suggested 5.

The issue might be that the debounce has moved from a fast thread (where 300 cycles is maybe 6mS or less) to a slow (1mS) thread where 300 cycles is 300mS.

All of you are right, my fault.
I was thinking I put 100 in my custom.hal, but 300.
I'll reduce the value to lower ones and see if it goes better (it will, I know.....)

I made some test,up to 10ms, and it works really fine now.
Now the z-touch and x-y-touch plates work both great.
Thanks all for theyr support.
