    I just build the LEad 1515 and have the XYZ probe plus. When it lowers to set the Z, the green led turns on when it touches but it will not retract and I have to hit abort. I've checked my wiring at the plugs, updated firmware with no luck. A

    Anyone have a suggestion? thank you.

    check that the probe is plugged into the probe port and not one of the limit ports
    check the 'log/serial console' tab for error messages, they tell us what is going on, copy and paste the text here rather than a screen shot

    I didn't have that tab. I figured it out that it is disabled by default
