Can I re-use an end-stop pin during probing?

[mmorlan62]

Hi there,

I have a handy z-axis end-stop button right there, above the spindle. Can I assign that pin to the probe as well and use it during probe cycles? Or, will the z-stop trigger during a probe cycle?

Thanks!

If it's set to Z limit input then it will stop, of course. Limit is always limit, except for when it is the same input as the home and you are homing. If you use that input only to home the Z and not as a limit then technically you can use it for probing too.

Ah, I understand. Thanks!
