New to Repetier need help with Z probe height

I am new to Repetier been using MarlinKimbra.

Have a Prusa i3 with openbuilds extrusions. Trying v.92 and can't get the z probe height offset to work. I have an inductive probe, Ramps 1.4 I can get Z to home and it moves down some after homing but gap between the bed and extruder is .60mm.

I don't have a z min endstop, tried disabling that but then it doesn't probe, just moves down until the probe triggers and stops.

I can't do a G32 S2 thru Pronterface, comes back with unknown command G32 S2.



Just trying to find a firmware that autolevels properly

Comments

  • Also WHY does this firmware keep echoing a OK 0 to the Pronterface console?

  • Figured out the G32 being an invalid command... I had FEATURE_AUTOLEVEL set to 0 !

    working on z height now
  • Z_PROBE_HEIGHT still not making a difference
  • here is the configuration.h probe section:

  • Did you get your Z Probe working?
  • Yes and no. I used Repetier host to edit the firmware offset for the extruder and got it to print. But I switched back to MarlinKimbra then to Marlin RC3 and had issues. MIght reload Repetier after doing a M502 and M500 to wipe the firmware
