I've looked and can't find a working method. I have had some success getting a new zero location but not by using the information provided.
For one thing Repetier configuration.h 0.91 has it on pin 63. My RAMBo uses pin 10 for the z_min. It ain't never gonna work that way unless there is something I am missing.



Does anyone have the proper code to read and store the zprobe values?

BTW: I cannot search the forums for "z-probe" so I am using the spelling "zprobe."

PS had to edit configure.h #define MIN_HARDWARE_ENDSTOP_Z true

I had not seen that. It looks like the pin 10 which I have been working with is for the z tower not the z position. Thanks.

Back from taking a look-see. There was some information I can use.
What I learned:
It looks like they also use the Z-min input (I think it is a RAMP board). This is how I had approached the problem.
They do distinguish better the XYZ towers and XYZ spatial.
One diagram shows the x-min, y-min and z-min all being wired.
The configuration.h file was not the repetier version but it was a close cousin.

.
Back again. Success I have it sensing the zprobe. I am using pin 10 on the RAMBO. I put my x and y values for my probing points at zero to test without crashing. I am using repetier zprobe url for my reference.

Thanks for that John, I also am building a mini kossel that info is invaluable.
