proper process of bed leveling
according to the documentation on the repetier website the procedure to do bed leveling is to first test the probe using g30 and then give a g29 to test 3 points .
I attached my inductive probe, then changed my z endstop to zmax, then tested the probe using m119, then with g31,
After seeing all is working i gave it a g30 at a random point.. it worked wonderfully , after that i gave it a g28 xyz 0 and then a g29,, the head slamed into the x end stop then into the y end stop and then did a 3 point check as it should do.. I thought something was wrong with the 3 points in the config file so, it changed them, reloaded the firmware , cleared the epprom and tried again, Again i got the same behaviour, now it is even stranger, the head first homes to z min using the probe then slams to x and y end stops, then goes to first test point lowers the the z by 3 mm and checks again, then lowers 3 mm goes to the next point checks again and finally it goes to the 3rd point and slams the bed agaist the probe and tries going higher than the z min although the probe is triggered, I tried reloaded the firmware 3-4 times, erased the epprom using m502 and m500, but this strange behaviour continues. I am not confident of using a g32 after this strange behaviour. I am using 0.92.9 version downloaded yesterday.
is this version bug free or should i try some other version
thanks

Next i will try g33. i think that is what it is for.
also i have a strange error after g32 s2 .. with z offset 0 it works fine but when i put z probe offset as 0.1-0.3 the probe does its job and then the printer gives a error and halts . ( it is the same error that occurs if a probe doesn't complete measurements within a certain range )
I even disable z leveling and z distortion in the firmware and reloaded . this time the z height is stuck at some initial value.. the only way i could set the zmax was in the lcd menu by homing the zmax and then moving toward the nozzle and finding z min and saving that value.
does repetier handle the eeprom values differently... i cant find any documentation for this. also how do you set the z probe offst in the eeprom? what is the g code for it? also what gcode sets z max ? is there some place all this is documented?
thanks again for you patience
