Today I tried PCB probing and thought it will go smooth. But I was wrong. Homing and limit switches work perfectly every time. Touch plate zero’ing and test probing goes well, too. But when I start the probing process after few correct probes tool goes down to Z=0.5 (probe start height) and then it is immediately saving probed location with Z=0.5 and move to another probe location. This happens repeatedly until again it starts normal probing (for some time) and then again Z=0.5 -> see pictures.

@Alden_Hart @Riley_Porter_ril3y Might you have an idea what else to check?

Yeah, something’s not right there.

How is this possible that we have consecutive correct probing and then consecutive bad probing cycles (irregularly) if the trigger is the signal transition and not the signal state? Is it possible to have period of noise (results in all bad probes at Z=0.5) interchangeably with period of no-noise (clear) when results are correct?

@Alden_Hart ​ Could you explain how the probing is supposed to work in the software?
