smoothieboard z probe Info needed.

I search but couldnt find the info im looking for.

So i ordered a smoothie board since its a 32 bit and alot of people say it works better then the ramps board.

I read that the smoothieboards work with z probes, but what i couldnt find out was setting up deployment and retraction loctaction for the allen type probes.

Is this possible with smoothie?

I would think, id just have to add the moves for the probe into the gcode
before and after the g29.

Any thoughts on this

Try asking at [groups.google.com] if you don't get any answers here.

Thanx.
I posted there.

I saw their answer there. Looks like you will have to manually deploy do your G32 and then manually retract.

I switched to RepRap firmware, but when I was a Smoothie user I didn't see any way to do what you want other than adding to your start g-code in the slicer.

His probe is manual, you have to install it manually, and remove it manually, so there is no Gcode there.

If somebody has an automated probe that is deployed via a servo or a selonoid, Smoothie supports that too. It will *indeed* require you to add a gcode to the slicer's start gcode sequence.

Yea the probe now is deployed via firmware where. same thing as the sintron kits

It hits the Z belt to deploy it, probes the bed for levelness. Then once finish it moves tot he right and pushes the allen down on a block to retract it.
I was using a inductive probe but the offset from the hot end is more then i like.

Oh right, see I did not understand that was what you need from your messages.

If you need to do a custom movement sequence to deploy the probe, you can do this either by setting the sequence in your slicer's settings, or by setting up a switch module ( smoothieware.org/switch ) to map a gcode to that specific gcode sequence.

Cheers.

Thanx for the link. It looks like i can add alot of stuff.

Ill probably end up setuping the switch.
From what i read i can turn "G1 X20 Y85 Z30" into G99
Then my retraction to G100

And simply input that into my gcode.
So
G28
G99
G29
G100

Then normal codes
