I am an idiot...3D Probe with Probe Basic

changes are up on git, you can copy over the files with today's date in the subroutine folder and they should fix the popups!

So let me try to get this across in simple terms. IF, big if here, if the routine was to know the Z maximum travel based upon the starting point of the probing function. Then once it actually probes the part, then it was to reference the current position of Z, then it would clearly be able to do the math and determine the 0.25" it is away from the top of the part would not be too far to travel. The issue to me is that it looks like Z can still go down almost 10 inches.Instead of the new position being -9.75". Hope this makes sense.

If this does NOT make sense, then I don't see how to write it any different. IN THIS INSTANCE ... I have the same amount of Z travel this way for the probing operation, I can start from 1/4" away from the top part to any measurement UP TO the Max Z height.Looks to me like Z minimum should be a thing instead of Max, but please fill me in if I am missing something. If I am concerned my probe is going to crash against the part because I have a measurement wrong, this kind of TO ME makes the concept harder to grasp. Since its job is to "find" the surface.

Please don't assume I know what you are referring to. Do I replace the probing routines from the SUBROUTINES folder, this should be all I need?

Thank You!

Copy over the Individual files with today's date from the probe_basic subroutine folder and replace only those files, they have the edits needed.

Done, worked, Thank YOU!

Great! As to the max z travel, it's meant to be a set per probe Incident. If you don't want to probe using it, then set it up as I stated to skip it in the routine if set to zero. Then just adjust as needed when you want to use it.
