I am brand new to CNC and have just assembled my 30x30 longmill MK2. I am also using gsender. I am unable to get the probe to pass the connectivity test.

This way I can find my centre zero back no matter what exploded as long as the pr…

@Spamming_Eddie That’s a good process. I have a cross hair laser on my LM so I can get back to damn near perfect, too. I simply wanted to acquaint the new user to what can go wrong. We can agree to disagree on whether our methods are faster than using the touchplate. :grinning: Since I’m a lowly…
