<p>I don't remember making a change to marlin but today when I tried to probe my bed my Z probe homed and slowly went downwards until the probe detected the first point. then without lifting it it just kept moving over the other points without lifting or even moving the z.</p>

<p>I canceled that and ran an <code>M48</code>, here's the output:</p>

<pre><code>Recv: 1 of 5: z: -0.497

<p>Any ideas on what's going on?</p>

In my Pins.h folder turns out I needed to put a x-max pin. I hadn't defined that so it was randomly reading it as high. my printer thinking it can't go higher was freaking out basically :) this explains the other strange behavior i was experiencing!
