Z end stop matters for probing… if max travel is inputted, and if soft limits are enabled.
I think I had to read it more times than that, and still needed it explained again! LOL
Ain’t that the truth.
Ok, that was the actual fix. This is my first time trying to do a probe by Gcode and reading the generated code I was under the impression that the z10 move was in relation to the probed position and should give a clearance of 10mm above the touch plate and not a 5mm downwards move. I also assumed that since the fluidnc probe setting was already for a 15mm plate, which then does a 1mm move upwards for clearance that everything would/should come together, but setting the Z in Gcode and setting it in the interface are not related.
So changing that Z10 move to Z16 allowed the probe to set the Z0 and then moved it to 16mm, giving the 1mm clearance above the touchplate and it seems I’m back in business. I made the adjustment to the Ecam tool change code and everything seems to be working correctly.
Thanks for the assist.

Yep. And if you had placed a G91 in front of the move command, as it was previously, it would have switched from absolute to relative (aka incremental) and it would have worked, but you’d have wanted to put another G90 afterward to get back into absolute mode.
