Hello,
I have some troubles with Probe Screen. I thought I will be able to solve this on my own :/
I followed the instructions from downloaded probe_screen_v2-master.
I am using the normally closed touch plate - the touch plate is on the desk, pressing sensor
When I run the Z- code ( which is for down.ngc code ) I get and error - Probe tripped during non-probe move.
And I dont know if this error is because of - bad Gcode (I modified that according to the one video on YT, where its working)
bad settings in python code (probe_screen.py)
bad settings in HAL/INI file
IMHO the error is in g-code.
thank you

Or if there is -not there, delete it.

Usually it means the sensor input is inverted, so adding -not to the input pin in the hal should fix it.When I run the Z- code ( which is for down.ngc code ) I get and error - Probe tripped during non-probe move.

I find that its maybe working - problem was in my bad manipulating with connecting the wires ( Iam not testing this on the machine but just on stepper motors and other electronics (with 7i92) on my desk).
But there is still a lot of thing that are not clear for me.
1. I found that when I sucessfully finish the Z- procedure (down.ngc) then I am not able to do G0 Z0 command into MDI command ( it just doesnt do anything).
2. what if I wanted not only use touch plate but also touch probe. How should this be wired? when the hal pin motion.probe-input is used for the touch plate, then I think it cannot be also used for the touch probe.

Yes it can be done with some hal, and there are one or more topics discusing the subject of plate/probe, but i am on phone so can not search for it.

I have one of these poorly designed "plunger" type height setters.[1] I have taken it apart multiple times alternately to add "dielectric grease" to improve the electrical connectivity between the plunger and the spring and the walls and to remove excess grease slowing the return of the button to the rest position.
Others who have purchased this have reported modifying it to drill and tap holes to secure a copper wire between the bottom of the brass plunger and the aluminum base.
After cleaning, mine will function for a time, but I have found it to be erratic: sometimes it won't trigger on contact, and other times it triggers (from vibration I think) when jogging or running G-code. I've taken the electrical connector apart and re-wet the solder joints, and to avoid having to unscrew the connector between uses, I went ahead and installed a rocker switch in one of the conductor lines to ensure it cannot false-trigger. It can however still fail to trigger when in-use, thanks to the poor design.
I am in the market for a good MECHANICAL height setter--with a dial, not digital display.
[1] In fact, the Chinese appear to have stopped making this format because it took an extensive search to find it even on a Chinese site. None found on ebay or amazon where they used to be rife.

Dont you know, from where it comes, that when I run the down.ngc code for Z-, and it finish successfully, then I am not able to write G0 Y0 or G0 X0, G0 Z0 and so on into MDI command line?

the commands have no effect. Simly Iam able to type that there ( I tested only these commands G0 Y0 etc. with G0 ) but nothing happens. It doesnt write any error. I just type that click enter and thats all. It is showed in the command list history and thats all.

I assume that you are not already at 0,0,0 ?
(In the currently active coordinate system)
Have you found a way to fix this? It sounds very strange.
What happens if you switch away from the MDI tab and back?
Does anything else work at this point, like running G-code?
