I sympathize with you being frustrated with this, but the reason for a probe RISING edge during a machine rapid causing the machine to stop is very clear - if you don't mean to be probing, and you're rapiding, and something hits the probe, the next half-second or so may cause the shedding of many tears and dollars if the machine doesn't stop. Those things are shockingly expensive. Problems with bounce are a pain though, and not just for linuxcnc users I bet, because my Renishaw has a debounce time constant, in the hardware, of several ms.

Ok you're saying probe BREAK error again here, and I wonder if that's really the error you're getting. Can you say what the exact error message is please? I think it must be one of these? reportError(_("Probe tripped during non-probe MDI command.")); reportError(_("Probe tripped during homing motion.")); reportError(_("Probe tripped during a jog.")); There are also reportError(_("G38.4 move finished without breaking contact.")); reportError(_("G38.2 move finished without making contact.")); which is the only place I can find "break" in an error message, but if you're not in a probing move when it happens, it won't be these. Also are you running in auto mode, or are you using MDI to do this? I think it's more forgiving in auto mode but I'd have to study/remember harder to be sure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
