XYZ Probe no longer working after update

Obvious question, since Z is probed first, did you verify that you have continuity between the bit and the probe plate?

 

There were no probe related changes in these updates. See https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CONTROL/master/CHANGELOG.txt

 

You mention:

Are you are aware there are two applications: OpenBuilds CAM and OpenBuilds CONTROL?

As you mention CAM above I assume you only did one, so did you do: (from CONTROL, not from CAM)

Next, regarding

you use the tools provided to check and calibrate it:

So to reiterate:
Open OpenBuildsCONTROL (don’t forget to connect)
Go to Grbl Settings tab
Load the profile for the machine you have, don’t forget to hit Save and Reset
Then fine tune and test calibration from Wizards and Tools > Calibration (do all axes)

 

Click where i advised above. The software is very simple step by step driven

 

Is this the same question asked on Facebook? If so, I believe it was because the tool paths generated with OpenBuilds CAM were generated for an engraving of words that were way "above" the XY zero point in the CAM workspace. So after setting the XYZ zero on the work piece, the tool path sent the router way past the work piece and air cut the carving. By "above" I believe he means past the work piece in the +Y direction. These are photos from the same (or similar) query in Facebook to help explain in case anyone else is having a similar question. The photos help explain the issue better. Someone smarter than me please check my advice at the end of this to be sure I did not steer him wrong.

Here is where it is trying to cut "above" (Y+ direction):


Here is where the design was laid out in CAM (way up in the Y+ direction):



Here is a shot of his OpenBuilds control showing he successfully set XYZ zero with the probe. Note the long green line where it moves quite a ways in the Y + direction before it tries to engrave:



I suggested -- by making a quick drawing in CAM-- the following:

"What you could try is make a box in CAM that starts at the XY 0 point the size you want the finished product to be and center the writing in it and regenerate your gcode. Or just move the letters down to the XY 0 point in the CAM software. If done like this, You know where the letters will be cut on your work stock and you will no longer be cutting air. I just threw arbitrary numbers up for illustrative purposes. I used a 100 by 500 mm "board" (the rectangle) and roughly centered the letters."
