    Hi, I am trying to probe with my OB xyz probe plus.

    I homed my machine before and they are all moving in the right direction.
    But for probing, instead of moving to the spot where the endmill touches(it should move x positive and y minus), the y and x axis moves in the positive direction. so it ends up not touching.
    Any one had any similar issue? Cheers

    Is machine correctly set up? (if not fix directions in Grbl Settings)

    Does the Hello World run correctly? (or is it reversed)

    Are you probing correctly (probe on front left corner)

    Could it be due to setting up my Ratrig Stronghold one 1250x1250 with the setting of OB Lead1515? I've modified to the dimensional setting for my machine.
    But if I watch videos of OB Lead1515, it seems like the home for this machine is front left corner, where as for mine it is back left corner.

    jog/cut directions must match the cartesian coordinate system of tool movement, this must be correct before you can home correctly.
    X+ is tool to the right
    Y+ is tool away from operator
    Z+ is tool up

    After that is correct, you can set the homing directions so it moves towards your switches , wherever they are (X and Y you can choose, Z MUST be UP)
