    // Manually set the home position. Leave these undefined for automatic settings.
    // For DELTA this is the top-center of the Cartesian print volume.

    //#define MANUAL_Y_HOME_POS 100
    //#define MANUAL_Z_HOME_POS 20
    
    
    // Use "Z Safe Homing" to avoid homing with a Z probe outside the bed area.
    //
    // With this feature enabled:
    //
    // - Allow Z homing only after X and Y homing AND stepper drivers still enabled.
    // - If stepper drivers time out, it will need X and Y homing again before Z homing.
    // - Move the Z probe (or nozzle) to a defined XY point before Z Homing when homing all axes (G28).
    // - Prevent Z homing when the Z probe is outside bed area.
    #define Z_SAFE_HOMING
    
    
    #if ENABLED(Z_SAFE_HOMING)
      #define Z_SAFE_HOMING_X_POINT ((X_MIN_POS + X_MAX_POS) / 2)    // X point for Z homing when homing all axis (G28).
      #define Z_SAFE_HOMING_Y_POINT ((Y_MIN_POS + Y_MAX_POS) / 2)    // Y point for Z homing when homing all axis (G28).
    #endif
    Mine looks similar. I found a work around from the G92 command.

    I changed the following while trying to find my Z-Offset:

    #define Z_MIN_POS -10
    #define MANUAL_Z_HOME_POS 0

    This allows me to home using G28 and lower the Z axis by up to 10mm. After I found my offset, I changed these back to defaults. Now I am trying to figure out what the Bl Touch is doing as it is behaving erratically.

    Where did you get your BL-Touch? How much did you pay? There are a lot of counterfeit BL-Touches starting to show up and they don't behave like a BL-Touch. Some of them even need an inverted setting on the Z_MIN_ENDSTOP option. Search at GitHub.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin for threads about BL-Touch and counterfeits. There is a huge amount of work that has been done to identify which 'clone' you have and how it should be set up.

    But we do have the real BL-Touch probes working perfect!!!! It is the 'clones' that are having problems.

    I bought my BL Touch from Colin at Makerfarm.

    I got it working, and was having issues with the probe speed.
