Are you using a centered home position with + and - in each axis?

Read the probe help yeah to understand all of they parameters.

Hello all. I have been trying to get this setup running forever. I'm embarrassed so say how many hours I've spent googling, typing in terminal commands, letting Chatgpt hallucinate answers, and reading 'official' web pages. The official page for PnCConf shows me completely different screens than the ones I see, with the latest version installed. 

Is ANYONE using this configuration? If not, what would you recommend that actually works? I went from Mach3 on an ancient XP machine with a DB25 serial port. I was told this would be the upgrade solution that just works. It's done anything but. 

I have the proper firmware flashed to the 7i92TF for the G540. The computer is able to ping the Mesa card. 

I cannot figure out how to configure PnCConf for this setup. I cannot find any directions that show me the screens I actually see. 

Any help would be immensely appreciated. I am ready to give up and walk away from 2 years worth of design work done during the pandemic, because I cannot get some seemingly simple hardware to talk to each other.

Solved: MAX X/Y value of 110 was too high for my small machine.

I was able to do probe calibration by significantly increasing my axis min/max values for X and Y

However, this doesn't solve the issue as I cannot do any regular probing of parts anywhere on my travels without these artificially increased values. Does anyone have any ideas on what offsets might be causing this? My probing was working previously.

I am reclaibrating my probe due to issues I was having in a separate thread, this time using a gauge block. Previously I calibrated it using a 5mm gauge ring and the calibration cycle worked fine. However, every time I try to calibrate on this gauge block I get an error saying I am exceeding either X or Y's negative limit and I can't seem to figure out why this is happening. I am not anywhere close to my axis travel limits. I am attaching pictures of my tool and probe settings. They seem fine to me? I have tried varying the stepoff and nothing changes it. It seems like there is an offset / ini issue that is colliding with the way the probe cal works but I can't figure it out. I currently have my X min limit set to -8 but I tried adjusting it to -16 and I am still getting the same error.  


The picture shows a step off of 20 but I tried reducing it all the way down to 6 incase my min axis values of 16 were somehow messing with it and it did not fix the issue

EDIT I just realized..even if I go back to my old probe_cal value and try to probe a boss, I am getting the axis limit issues as well so it seems like something strange has happened
