Probing distance and softlimits #402

Open GameOEver opened 3 months ago

GameOEver commented 3 months ago

Hello,

I run regularly into the issue that for example the tip of my 3d probe is 5mm above the workpiece and I want to measure z height / set g54.

My probing distance was set to something like 25mm but in 20mm distance, the softlimit would trigger.

I get an Alarm 2, need to reset, re-do the tool length reference, just to do the same mistake again and waste another 5min of my lifetime.

Would it be possible to add a checkbox for example that lets the probing run until it really hits the softlimit and then throw an alarm instead of throwing an alarm if it would hit the softlimit?

I don't know if that is an IOSender "issue" or if it is just how grblhal works.. but it would make my life a lot simpler, if I wouldn't need to always check from where I start to probe
