First I want to say I love gSender. I’ve been using all sorts of gcode senders with my Workbee 1510 with the Openbuilds Blackbox and I feel the gSender finally ticks all the boxes.
Now the problem, I understand it’s beta and I am experiencing a few bugs but the one I’m having the most trouble with is probing. I have homing switches for reference. When I run probe it sees my probe and the sequence works until it touches. It lifts back up and throws a “soft limit exceeded” error. It freezes the software and I have to disconnect and reconnect to control the machine again.
I have checked the default Openbuild 1510 profile and all the dimensions match my firmware defaults so I am at a loss.
Thanks in advance to all!!

Interesting. I’m wondering if you probe a taller piece of material will you still reach the soft limit when probing? It could be possible that the machine is barely hitting it’s limits just as it’s contacting the top of the probe block
Well, now I’m really confused. I took your advice and wanted to test at a higher point, but first I thought to test XY probe. This worked fine with no issues. Then I tested the z probe at a higher point and that worked fine. So then I proceeded to test, like I was originally, while getting the error. Well no error any longer, at all. No matter who many times I test it is all working now. I don’t know if testing XY knocks the bug out or what but we will see.
Thanks.

Wow that’s so odd 
I’ll leave this topic open for a couple weeks and just let me know if you get this issue happening to you again
