What to Expect When Zeroing your CNC with the AutoZero Touchplate and gSender software.

- In this tutorial video, we’ll show you what to expect when using the AutoZero Touchplate as well as the common alarms you may come across during the probing process.
We’ll be using gSender as our sending software.
As of this video’s release, the AutoZero Touchplate only works with gSender software but we’re currently developing macros for other popular G-Code sending software.
You can find more information about errors and alarms on our resources pages resources.sienci.com/view/gs-...

These newer short videos are a great addition. Keep up the good work!
It has been one week. I love it. Using it on my 3018, soon on a longmill mk2 30x48. Can't wait.
That's awesome! I might have to update the store page to say "tested to work on other CNCs like a 3018" :)

This is great info!
Mine when using a vbit, the probe goes through its process, then goes straight down and nails the vbit directly into the probe. Called for help, waiting for the callback.
Interested in using soft limits on my 3018 pro. How do you set that up with gsender?
You can visit the 'Firmware' tool and scroll down the list to find the setting for soft limit. It'll be part of the 'homing' category
That plate seems to float around a lot during probing. I have the old the plate however 99% of my work I now run from the centre of the stock. So its great for doing the Z zero.
Yes, though we made the new plate heavier and gave it a larger surface area it can still sometimes slip around depending on the material - that's why we suggest holding onto it during probing
Just received my longmill 48X30.
Setup and running.
Why wasn't it explained to me in the instruction manual that the head of a PEZ dispenser fits perfectly as a ACME nut cover?
Didn't see that one coming 😆 you should definitely send us along a picture!
is it supposed to dent/bite into the plate? i've noticed some dent in your video when it tried to figure out the z offset
Most times no, but if the bit is very sharp it can sometimes leave a mark - this is just because many touch plates have a matt finish but the AutoZero is quite polished
Whenever I do a z only probe and resume the bit wonders away like it has no clue where to go
I have a MillRight CNC Carve King 2 using G-gode Sender and everything works great except for this. I have tried every setting there is. The normal Zero Plate works correctly. When I switch the probe from standard to AutoZero and try this all it does in XYZ is touch the plate and go to Alarm 4 In XY it goes to Z the across to X and goes to alarm 4. No matter what I try it either when it hits the plate it goes to alarm 4. Any help or suggestions on this would be appreciated. I would love to use this. All firmware and softwares are current and up to date.
I could be when the bit is pulling off to make the second touch it's still somehow in contact with the plate causing the Alarm 4. Does your Carve King have any play in its movements? I'm also curious, if you've tried doing a Z-only touch and if that's still causing an Alarm 4
@@SienciLabs no play and yes have
Tried the z only and it goes to Alarm 4 thank you
Using the Standard Mode with a simple alum block works fine only have this issue with the auto touch settings
Seems like there might be a problem with the wiring or that somehow your Carve King isn't able to handle the plate? You could try using the wiring from your Standard touch plate and plug it into the AutoZero. If you're still having problems you can reach out to us with pictures or videos and we'd be happy to help you out
@@SienciLabs How do I go about "trying the writing" from my standard touch plate and plugging it into the AutoZero?
Why are there two jacks and which one is used?
The 2 jacks are simply for convenience! Choose whichever one makes your life easier and zero away!
