    Hi guys,

    My interface is on 1.57 firmware and connected to wifi. When it boots the firmware check is on red and says "unable to check firmware" and When I try to update, it also says "unable to update" and reboots. Any Idea of how to solve this?

    An other problem. When à use a Standard Z probe via the interface I have this message when it touchs it:
    "
    GRBL ERROR
    Error no: 2
    Numeric value not valid
    "
    When I use xyz probe it seems to work like it should.

    Thanks for your help.

    Catch up by flashing via CONTROL:

    Follow sections 3.1 and 3.2 of the Interface Documentation docs:interface:firmware-update [OpenBuilds Documentation] (3.2 is important as firmware 1.58 relies on the wifi config part of the tool)

    Do you have a custom macros on the flash drive? Our own macros are for our XYZ probe

    Thank you Peter.
    I have succeed in upgrading to 1.58 flawlessly and I don't have anymore problem on firmware check.
    But... I can not select the probe file anymore on the usb via the interface. I reinstalled all the files on it but that did not helped. I don't have any macro I just use PROBEZ.PRB
    When using control all is allright.

    My bad... Everything is working well :thumbsup:
    Where could I setup the probe height? Sorry, it is probably another dumb/newbie question.
    Thank you very much for your help Peter.

    That'll be the custom macros referenced above. Everything else relies on our probe... So maybe just get ours?

    XYZ Touch Probe Plus

    I have the openbuilds xyz probe
    I have the openbuilds xyz probe but sometimes I just want to 0 my z and and it's easyer with a basic probe.
    Anyways, since I have updated the interface (I don't know if it's the cause), the xyz probe does not work anymore... No green light anymore and it smashes on the probe. :banghead: :cry:

    Sounds more like a wiring issue than a firmware relations :)

    Use the Troubleshooting tab in CONTROL to test your probe (touch magnet to plate)


    Then why would you want to edit the offsets? (I would only expect someone with a 3rd party probe with different dimensions to want to do that?)

    I use a 3rd party probe because sometimes I don't have a corner on the jog area to place the probe on. If I flip the probe to grab contact from the bottom, the probe is not flat because of the connector which slightly overflows. (that being said I could trim it a little)
    Now the xyz probe is working fine since I have been on the troubleshooting tab... This is getting me mad o_O:)

    Thank you once again for your help Peter, you are great. :thumbsup:

    OK that clarifies :) hard to figure out the exact issue at hand sometimes from shorter descriptions

    So keep PROBEZ.PRB (and Probe Menu) for our XYZ probe

    add your own little file somewhere on the USB call it whatever you like MYZPRB.GCO or anything like that. In there add your own little gcode

    Code:
    G21 ; mm mode
    G10 P0 L20 Z0 ; zero out current location
    ; Probe Z
    G38.2 Z-25 F100 ; Probe Z
    G4 P0.4
    G10 P0 L20 Z20 ; Change the Z20 to the thickness of your plate
    $J=G91G21Z5F1000 ; retract
    
    And run it like a job
