well, I think I finally found what was causing it. This line needs to be enabled:

#define Z_MIN_PROBE_USES_Z_MIN_ENDSTOP_PIN

Now it's finally time to see how nicely mesh leveling plays..

I've been playing around with the latest version of Marlin, and while on the whole it seems to be working ok, during the travel movements of a print it seems to jerk a couple of times along the movement. I don't know how best to describe it, but it almost seems like it moves as expected, power is removed for a split second, then the cycle continues.

I was thinking acceleration might be a bit too high and have tried reducing those to around 1500, but it doesn't seem to have an effect. Has anyone else encountered something similar? When I go back to an See $ Do Paso robles release the problem disappears, so i'm quite sure its not hardware related.
