Hi Admins,
Question about the forum itself:
I have started a thread sometimes ago here :
https://en.cs-lab.eu/forum/topic/simcnc-v3-6-beta2-trying-the-auto-leveling-feature/
And I have received a couple of answers through my mail subscription, how is it that these reply posts do not show up in the original thread in the forum ?

For instance, I have received this answer in my mailbox:

Visit the reply:
https://en.cs-lab.eu/forum/topic/simcnc-v3-6-beta2-trying-the-auto-leveling-feature/#postid-2548

but the link leads to nowhere when clicking it.
(OK, I can see the answer in the mail, but it's not shared with the community)

Thanks,

C.M.

This could be spam, which is routinely removed.

Did the email notification include a preview of the forum post?

We will also check your initial thread if you did not get any answers.

Hi, thanks for answering, yes these seemed to be legit answers, let me dig into my mailbox :

I received two answers not showing up :

There is a new reply in a forum topic you are subscribed to on CS-Lab.

Forum and Topic: CSMIO/IP with simCNC software, SimCNC V3.6 beta2 : trying the auto-leveling feature.

What does this exception mean ?
Should I understand we cannot use executeProbing from within a running gcode ?
Should I perform the full grid scanning in a python script without using gcode ?

Thanks in advance, tell me if you need more details.

The error “Action is not in idle state” means SimCNC is busy running G-code and cannot execute additional probing commands simultaneously. Therefore, you cannot use executeProbing() inside the running G-code program.

The correct solution is to move the entire mesh scanning process to a Python script (controlling each point and calling probing directly). This ensures the system is always in an idle state before each probing operation and avoids the error.

...

That error usually means SimCNC is still busy executing motion when executeProbing gets called. I suspect probing can’t safely run inside active gcode execution loops.

Yes, this was spam. They use AI to answer, look reliable, and place links. In your post above, you've also included their link, and we will have to remove it ("basketball stars").

I don't understand at what level these spamy links get injected, but the answers look technically OK :

Are these two author bots ?
The second answer looks good, doesn't it ?
