I'm so glad you have had some success!

1) tool probing from the offset page is a completely different probing routine.
IIRC qtdragon didn't originally have a dedicated probe tab. We added it and never removed the original.

2) oh yes weird I'll see if it's something simple...

Is there anything you think we could add to the docs to help the next person to get up to speed quicker?

The docs are good, its just so much information.. and it seems like alot of it can conflict with each other and can be easily setup wrong. I would suggest a better LinuxCNC setup wizard.

Consider this, the pncconfig and the stepper config could be updated. Yes it would be massive amount of work. Basic setup is a breeze currently but if it was updated to have more options like probe, tool sensor, camera, ATC ect. Each new section can have additional details or options with images or explanations. Based on the setup the wizard would automatically change the .ini file, hal file, postgui, add folders, add routines, ect, set paths, ect. This way human error is taken out leading to a faster setup or update
