Uccnc plasma, Sheetcam, floating head. Trouble with height

Hi, I have converted my Esab Cnc plasma with UCCNC Axbb-e and I use Sheetcam. I will add a scriber later so I use the UCCNC Plasma with scriber PP. I have a Proma THC150 and a Hypertherm powermax 105 using the CPC dividided voltage for the THC. I'm all new to Cnc systems but made the conversation myself.

I did the first live test yesterday, but after the M31 command the plasma height is higher than the settings. Like 5mm higher than the pierce height. So I think I need to change some offset of the floating head switch. Checked the settings in the Plasma scriber PP but it doesn't have any switch offset settings.

I would appreciate all the help I could get. Anyone else here that use a similar setup with this sheetcam PP and UCCNC?

I'd the problem in the PP, job settings in Sheetcam or in the UCCNC software?

I answer the question myself if somebody have the same issue. I changed the M203 Macro name to M31. Changed the offset in the old M203 macro and now it works well.

I'm looking for a better THC then Proma THC 150 but that seems easier than it is...

can you by chance show me were and what you changed i have the same hardware you do and i am having major probing issues. i have no problem cutting as long as i use the sheetcam pp for uccnc with no z and manually set the z. if u use the pp with z it goes down touches go up then instead of probing to the right height it goes all the way up and hits the limit switch.
