Hello,
Is there a way to use this plugin on an Artillery Sidewinder X1 without flashing the firmware ?
I tried it and it does not seem to work (echo:Unknown command: "G38.2 Z-2.5").
It would be great because I have a concave bed.
Thanks for your work anyway !
Regards,
Jean-Luc

I looked into it, and it sounds like the stock Sidewinder X1 doesn't have a probe that works with the glass bed/doesn't have one at all. In order to use the plugin you would need to manually measure the heights, so not using the G38.2 command and autoprobing, but instead doing something like G1 Z-0.1 F100 and checking with a piece of paper then entering the points in manually. If the machine won't let you go to negative Z heights then it sounds like you need to adjust the z-endstop switch and the bed so all points are at or above 0. this thread may help with the bed adjustments
