Be honest with yourself. UK people are at least second best no matter where they go. Not just on here!

There are a lot of UK and European users on here and they get help just as fast as USA users. Maybe you are not taking into account the time difference. Often I get help even on Sundays from staff at Centroid. For sure with Suntravel any time of the day or night. He is in Germany as am I.

jee whiz... fixing now.. yes Parameter 3 is the one we want to use. you can read more about parameter 3 and how bit wise parameters work in the operator manuals as well.

Parameter 3 is also set by the Wizard in the tool touch off menu.

ok i fixed the typos and added a page about the Wizard TT menu where you can select which method you want to use as well.

Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks for the video Uwe - excellent

I can't seem to finish the Tool Height Setter sequence. I have attached a link with the videos showing what keeps happening. Does anyone have any experience with this happening? https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... 7nQH_lSHFF

I noticed you're running an AvidCNC machine. Avid has their own methods of homing and setting their tool height.
Here's a video that goes over that:

since have a custom avidcnc machine, you are welcome to install Centroid CNC12 if you'd like to deviate from Avid's method's
