Smoothie board z probe question

Hi
I have a Reprap Rostock 3d printer with a Smoothie board. I have designed a z probe with an endstop switch and I was wondering what pin do I plug it in to?
The code says that the pin is 1.28!^ but what pin is this on the board?
Thanks
Tanner

Could someone say what the "^" means in "1.28!^"? It doesn't appear to be documented anywhere.

Pin 1.28 is Z min. Scroll down in this link, [smoothieware.org], to the Smoothieboard pinout.

p.s. You can use any unused endstop pins if you set it in the config file.

^ set pin to pull up
v set pin to pull down
- to set no pullup
@ to set repeater mode

Ok I have the probe plugged in and it is working.
I now have a problem that when the probe goes down it misses the glass in the aft and right point.
Is there a way to reduce the radius of the probe's circle. I tried lowering #leveling-strategy.delta-calibration.radius to 75 but this had no effect.
Thanks
Tanner

Tanner,

leveling-strategy.delta-calibration.enable true # basic delta calibration
leveling-strategy.delta-calibration.radius 75 # the probe radius

this is correct, but remove the # from the beginning so it is not a comment.

Remove the # from the start of that line, otherwise it will be ignored.
