Probe Basic Stable error was created by ncf250sd
I just updated to the stable version of probe basic, installed using the APT stable install and running Linuxcnc 2.9.8.  During testing I have most functions working; however, I get the following error when I click on the "go to home" and the "go to zero" buttons. "Named parameter #<geomery> not defined" The error message is the same for both buttons.  Any suggestions on this error?

It's telling you that you have not defined everything required for that function in the initial file.

Yep, that was it, thank you. Somehow I missed the AXES=3. Another question, my E stop button stays bright red the entire time, it still works. It just never changes from red to shaded.

a quick follow-up on the E stop. I checked everything on my side that I could think of and the light stays on. I just upgraded from the original PB where the E stop button worked as it should. Maybe I was not clear with my issue. When I activate my e stop on my pendant the screen E stop light goes off. However if i push the screen E stop button the machine stops but the button stays on. You think its still on my side?

the on screen button and physical button cannot remain synchronized as the screen cannot physically change the mushroom buttons state. so you will need to add in some hal NOT allowing the UI estop button in probe basic to be in a state different from the physical mushroom button.

Thank you I got it working. Today I attempted to probe a top left outside corner and noticed that when the routine went to probe the "Y" side the probe does not move over enough to the positive X to probe the material.  It does like it should when it probes the X.  It does the same on all outside corners.  It probes the center position just fine.  I attached a pic of the probe start position and where it fails to move over enough. Any ides on what to look for?

Step off width.

Read the probe help on the probing page for explanations on how probing settings works.

pretty sure i have all the setting correct as that was my first suspicion. I have already calibrated the probe and used it to find the center and z height of the stock.. I don't think that would have been possible with bad values? Or am i wrong? I will check again tomorrow. I used the original PB for several years so I am pretty familiar.  Also, the pictures are confusing; the second pic the probe had already completed the x measurement and moved into position for the Y.  the probe did step off the correct .3" in the x direction.

.3 pretty small unless you have it real close to the corner when you start. Do you have the probe tip diameter set in the tool table?

Do the other corners behave the same?
