Update: I am getting a similar error every direction I try to do this from.  The error is similar to 'Could not get lock on /var/lib.dpkg/lock-frontend. It is help by process 1736 (synaptic)'

Does anyone have any idea what is goin on with this? lol

It would help to know what GUI you're using. You can reload with the hal interface.

Hi all,

I changed a bit my workflow due to the usage of a new GUI (Basic Probe), my new workflow require my machine to have a precise and consistent Z axis zero point.

ATM, I only have a small Omron tactile switch has it was just used as approx. boundaries.

What could I use to achieve a better axis homing ? IR Sensor ? Special tactile switch ? 

Any recommandation that doesn't cost an arm and is easy to setup is welcome

Thank you.

Is there a pin to link an external button to reload the gcode that is already loaded? I did a probe but whenever I do the probe I have to reload the gcode for the viewer to go to the right coordinate, I looked for a pin to link an external button but I couldn't find it, does anyone know if it exists?

I should have specified that I am using Basic Probe UI, look like the link you provided me only support Axis ?

EDIT I just tried and it seem to work fine with Basic Probe UI, look like it's working fine. Any warning ? I should be concerned by something ?

Thank you.
