    I go through all of the procedures and the gap between the head and the bed is a little off. I have tried everything I can think of to change the head to bed space. I have tried prob offset and home offset and neither seem to have any effect. Has anyone got this working?

    I had found the Robo R2/C2 manual a couple of years ago and It say use the home offset. Here is the manual:
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qnV6C_lc7KV86p0g5qLAKNnt72os-b5r/view?usp=sharing

    I have verified that going to the LCD and changing the "home offset" works.

    I also found that it is east to modify the number of points. I have a Robo R2 clone with a 12x12 bed that is randomly warped by up to 0.06mm. It also changes by 0.1mm from cold to 70C. I changed the number of points to 5x5 in the Marlin code to compensate..We should set up a Marlin topic, I have made many changes to the Marlin code.

    This is my initial Gcode:
    ;heatup of bed
    M190 S65
    ; set to millimeters
    G21
    ; home
    G28

    Probe offset is the spacing for the sensor (UV sensor on the R2/C2) to the nozzle and is moot for the R1 series (the nozzle is the sensor). Home offset (for the Z axis) should be the one to change on the C2/R2 (v1.0.x had a specific GCode for it that was later deprecated: M565).

    I have not changed anything on the C2 firmware (other than adding the second extruder) and that is a slightly never flavor of Marlin (1.1.x) than the R1 series (1.0.x).
