gSender 1.2.2 Triggers Soft Limits During Fixed Tool Sensor Change

gSender 🐛 Bug
1

I have a Shapeoko Pro XXL with a Bitsetter. I am running gSender 1.2.2 on a Raspberry Pi 5.

I can jog the machine to the “Fixed Tool Sensor” position without triggering soft limits (I had to in order to set the position in the settings page, but I can still do it without issue).

When loading a .nc file from Fusion 360 that uses separate tools, it appears that gSender is inserting movement commands that are way outside the machine area. You can see this in the console in the attached screenshot.

It appears to my novice eyes that gSender is trying to move a false probe location that does not match the settings I have input.

Any ideas?

I think this thread related to an Edge release may be describing the same behavior: Fixed location tool change issue

Just replying because this is still an issue that prevents me from using my bit setter and I don’t want the thread to lock.

@SuperDodge It will not lock. :grinning:

@SuperDodge we’ve made several fixes and updates to tool change since then, are you still experiencing this issue in the latest version of gSender, v1.4.7?
