    I got my OX setup and it does homing perfect. But when I setup for my XYZ probe plus I follow the directions confirm probe position and click on probe it moves 22.50mm it the +X,Y position. What setting am I missing?

    The probe routine moves to the middle, and probes Z since it cant probe the empty circle. Then it will move over to X, probe, then moves to Y and probes.

    It moves before it probes after I click probe. Once it stops it starts to probe for the touch plate and I get a error saying it cannot find touch plate. I took a video of the steps I done and the error that pops up when it not probing right.

    Start with the bit closer to the touch plate. It will only move an inch or so to find the plate. If it doesnt find it within that distance, it will error out.

    If you're well within that distance, then make sure you machine is calibrated. You can do that in the Wizards and Tools menu.
