Z not homing properly/ Beacon issue
Some starting data,
VCore 4 500 Idex
RatOS 2.1 RC3
Beacon probe on Tool0
I have followed the Commissioning Guide without issue until the "Home Sequence" Section https://docs.ratrig.com/v-core-4-0/commissioning-guide
When I run the BEACON_INITIAL_CALIBRATION X and Y would home but then it would say " no Beacon model loaded" G28 same issue. pretty much ANY Z home command would send that message OR Just drive Z to the top and not stop requiring an emergency stop when it maxed out. ( thankfully it would never move tool0 to the bed so it was not impacting the tool)
I fought with this for a day reading all of the help I could find on the guides and here. Finally after playing around and following https://docs.beacon3d.com/quickstart/ I was able to get it to trigger and now I have the "default" model loaded in my printer.cfg and no longer get the error>> BUT
#### Issue Starts here####
now when i try and run BEACON_INITIAL_CALIBRATION I no longer get the "No Beacon Model Loaded" error but after X and Y home tool 0 is not moving out to the bed STILL so Z just drives to the top and maxes out requiring a emergency stop.
The only changes I have made are the ones expressly directed in the commissioning guide + doing the BEACON_CALIBRATE > SAVE_CONFIG to create the Default Beacon model. I have gone back through the guide several time and doublechecked all the code it instructed me to enter. Help ><
