    So finally got my new 1515 up and moving and spindle turning... YAY

    Tried to get the XYZ probe working (openbuilds brand)

    I center the bit over the hole click confirm then probe... it gets within 5-10mm of the plate but never touches it so my zero point ends up being of the board somewhere...

    What am I doing wrong here... Magnet seems to be making good contact... light goes brighter when i touch the plate to the bit manually.

    Help please!

    Incorrect wiring somewhere


    Light should be OFF until it makes contact.
