    Using the following macro to probe for Z using a momentary switch, The macro performs normally until the switch is tripped. When tripped the macro is suppose to set Z0 then retract the desired distance. What actually happens when tripped, probing movement stops, Z is not reset to current zero nor is the off-set recognized, and Z does not retract

    G21 g38.2 z-25.4 f50; G92 z3.8; G91 G0 Z12.2

    Did you perhaps skip over Step 7.1 of the BlackBox Documentation during initial setup?

    OK, well, that is a weird Macro, just wanted to be sure its not our standard stuff (PS CONTROL really is meant for our stuff)

    G92 is not what you want for a Grbl based probe anyway? Should've been G10, etc

    Use CONTROL > Probe > Probe Type > Custom > Gear icon > Enter your probes dimensions and use the Built in probing
    Or even better, get an https://docs.openbuilds.com/xyzprobe to activate all the probe wizards (Custom misses a couple)

    As suggested I used the probe wizard. Once again, AWESOME! After going thru the custom setup settings it worked perfectly.
