So, I scanned about a dozen objects all this week, and everything went without a hitch. Then today I performed a carving. Came out nice.
So, now I've got another object to scan. I inserted the probe, and it homed just fine. Then it asked for it's starting position. I jogged to the proper X-Y start, and then pressed enter...at which time the probe usually lowers to establish it's first X-Y coordinate. I wouldn't lower. No error on the LCD, just wouldn't lower. The LCD did advance, and ask me to press Enter again, to confirm.
I tried this several times, turning the machine off in between each try. I also tried to pick all different spots on the sled to establish a starting point, in case there was something blocking the probe from lowering....all to no avail.
Any ideas gang?
