Difficulties in probing

 

Here is a picture of the floating head.

 

Yes, the indicator on the screen does change to yellow any time the switch is made. No flickering or bouncing.

I have a home switch up at the top and the float switch on the free linear guide rail holding the torch head.

It homes using the home switch, and the float switch triggers the indicator on screen and the correct input led on the 7i96 card, as does the home switch.

I meant to mention the rail too, clever use!

Trusting what you're saying about the GUI LEDs, I'm not sure I can think of an obvious reason it shouldnt work.  
 

Both the LED on screen and the input LED on the 7i96 light when and only when the floating switch is tripped.  Yes I need to mount the limits differently, but I may move to proximity switches once the functions work.

Yes, the cables will be routed in cable track.

Yes, I had the rail left over from some other project and the ring on it fit the torch head, plans include this mount being break-away.

By the way, there is no way, i'm triggering this plasma cutter until everything is functioning.  The probing is being a bugger at the moment.

I tried a fresh pncconf configuration leaving out the z-max and only entering it in the plasmac configurator, but I get real similar results.

Not sure what to attempt next.
