I have a gen 1 xcarve that I got a while back. Decided to ditch the stock controller and add an Openbuilds X32 black box. spent the day rewiring the supply, all the stepper and limit switches. Got everything up and moving. Control Software was updated. Firmware was updated. All the X/Y/Z movements are correct. All limit switches work and verified in Control. Homing works with all axis moving directionally to the limit switches. Had to increase the pull up setting to avoid alarms. Got out the new Openbuilds XYZ probe and set that up. Verified that the probe can be seen in control when the magnet makes contact and get the green light. I go into the Probe option and align the bit over the probe plate. Attach the magnet and hit confirm and then Probe, the X & Y axis move slightly to the right and back, then the Z axis begins to lower. So I hit abort. Tried this multiple times. any ideas as to what else might need to be changed?
If you're on the XYZ probe tab (look at the tabs up top), then that's how it works. It move from the hole to the middle of the plate. Then moves down to probe Z. Then over to X. Then over to Y.
Sorry I wasn’t clear. The movement is much beyond the area of the probe surface. I’d say it’s at least 6-8 inches away from the probe
