    Is it possible to know the actual offsets of the official OB XYZ probe?

    Thanks

    Perfect response. Didn't think of looking at Control's source code. Thanks!

    A caliper across the actual probe would be even better - manufacturing and plating tolerances etc

    Well then set Probe Type to Custom and add your dimensions (calipers) :)

    On the Interface. Not CONTROL. The I needed to know the offset because the variable for x and y jn the macro has half the bit size + offset.
