Here is a complete snippet for an example

The ohmic probe tripped while moving is the most common cause I have for stoppage. It is always caused by either water or slag (dross) shorting the nozzle to the shield.


With my old CandCNC feather touch ohmic probe I did not have these problems given the exact same running conditions,

I am not that great with electronics but I have read something in the past that said the big manufactures have a way to set the sensitivity of the Ohmic probe circuit, How would something like that work for our setup?

The first command would read/set the feed rate and the second would change it to 60%. My question is, what will that third command do? Will it reset back to the original feed rate or will it be essentially ignored? When I read the documentation, I'm led to believe that you have to do an M67 E3 Q100 to get back to the original feed rate.

Yes, you need an M67 E3 Q100 (or Q0) to get back to the full feed rate.
The M67 E3 Qn code acts as a feed override to the current F word, so whatever feed is specified by the F word will be multiplied by the percentage of Qn.

Is the feather touch a separate piece of hardware?

Yeah its a small box that houses the ohmic sensing electronics, It is usually mounted on the Z axis.

Does it have a "sensitivity" adjustment?
Would it be possible to wire it into your current config?
