nozzle_xy_position: safe_z_home - safe_z_home is not used with Klicky probe. Can it take values from Klicky probe variables??

[PhilBaz]

nozzle_xy_position:

When using Klicky probe 'safe_z_home' is commented out. Klicky probe has its own z_homing override routine and x,y variables, 'variable_z_endstop_x: '& 'variable_z_endstop_y: '

It would be great if the values for nozzle_xy_position: could be inferred from the Klicky variables. I imagine a large number of users are using the klicky probe with z_calibration.

As it is currently the same values must be input to both the klicky variables as well as nozzle_xy_position: . This would be a nice little qol addition.

ps...thanks for your work! My Voron wouldn't be nearly as good without it :)

That's the problem with configurations and macro variables.

The only way I can think of is to provide a command parameter like CALIBRATE_Z SWITCH_XY_POSiTION=x,y. Then, you can use your macro variables while calling the calibration in your PRINT_START. Or even overwrite the CALIBRATE_Z command with a macro to set this parameter. Then you are able to call CALIBRATE_Z manually without the position :thinking:

Hi, thanks for the reply. If there is some technical reason the implementation is not simple then I get it. I cant code, but think I get what you are saying. Because of the way the variables are established its not easy to just reference them.

That's a shame as both klicky and z_calibration are referring to the the exact same coordinates and if you forget to update one or the other there could be problems.

Maybe I should raise this issue with the person who maintains klicky's code?

[TitusLabs]

This is not related to the calibraton. It's a common "problem". But, I don't think that you will be successful. The configuration is fixed - if not, there must be a command to change it.

I will add more parameters to the CALIBRATE_Z command :+1:

Awesome.... thanks again for such a useful tool. :)

After connecting with the guy who made/maintains Klicky on discord there was a solution that worked for me.

Klicky has its own homing override macro. But if you are not using Klicky as a virtual_Z_endstop there does not appear to be any need to use it. So I just deleted it, restored safe_Z homing and then let Z_calibration take the default coordinates for x,y. Done!
