Thank you so much I am still having problems setting up the limit and home switches in the main hal , I used mesa CT here are my files, I noticed you used the code down below but i cant seem to replicat it without error

You are correct I have a paid license. I used to use the free version some time ago and I don't remember it having that limitation but I know they have made multiple license changes over time for the free version which is unfortunate. Glad to see you have made a solution to work around it.

I don't use axis but this post may be similar to what you are looking for:

Hi,
I'm trying to run a little test program, and it aborts with the fault message: 'Motor 0 Positionssfehler (sic!) Position: relativ erwartet' ('motor 0 positioning error position: relative expected').
The program is this:

%
(G90: Set to Absolute Positioning)
G90
(G94: Feed Rate Mode Units per Minute)
G94
(G17: Select XY plane for arc moves for G2 G3)
G17
(G21: Set Units to Millimeters)
G21
(G54: Select coordinate system 1)
G54

G1 X0 Y0 F1000
G1 X10 Y0
G1 X10 Y10
G1 X0 Y10
G1 X0 Y0

M30
%

I'm a bit surprised since I'm setting G90. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

P.S. little typo: 'Positionssfehler' should be 'Positionsfehler'

I have a working configuration with LinuxCNC using AXIS and would like to try switching to Probe Basic.  I've gone thru the Pncconf trying to create a Probe Basic configuration and it seems to require configuration of Mesa cards which I don't have.  I'm using direct GPIO into a Rpi hat, which isn't directly supported from the standard stepconf tool either, but I was hoping to do what I did with stepconf -- make a config that assumes normal Linux parallel port configuration, and then modify that to use the Rpi GPIO HAL.

I saw a reference to a Probe Basic sim configuration in another thread with the suggestion that someone with a working normal stepconf config could look at the Probe Basic sim config and see what modifications need to be made.  But I can't find that sim config.

Could someone point me in the right direction?
