Hello all,

The Contact Probing Nozzle wiki page suggests converting the ReferenceNozzle to a ContactProbeNozzle. I have already removed the ReferenceNozzle from a machine whose config is working very well. How to add a ContactProbeNozzle now?

- Tried adding manually - this opens some curious Issues & Solutions questions. The wiki recommends against doing this, but worth a try.

- Considered pasting the ReferenceNozzle from a fresh config.xml.

- Something else that I'm not thinking of?

If the deletion happened recently, consider going back to one of the backup machine.xml. You will of course lose other changes since then too.

https://github.com/openpnp/openpnp/wiki/FAQ#how-can-i-go-back-to-an-oldworking-configuration

If that is not an option:

Go to Issues & Solutions and enable the Include Solved? checkbox.

Then go to the "Create nozzles for this head" solution. 

Reopen and select/modify the Nozzle configuration. 

It should create and wire up the nozzle where missing. This also assigns all the actuators and axes correctly etc., i.e. much harder to do right by hand.

Note this function was carefully crafted to not change anything except what is really necessary to create/restore a good nozzle config. It is (re)using the already present elements such as Axes, Actuators etc. with quite some sophisticated semantic logic.
