@ludisnet Yes. You could confirm by using the jog buttons the move the nozzle in the -x and +y directions

zprobe.in+zprobe.mod works fine. I must have missed that in the docu. I usually use the effector with the sensitivity 8:247 and double tip each point. I get the best consistency with this setting. Down site is that the fans must be off during calibration. In the new firmware a lot of stuff changed. Took me a while to move settings. Good thing is that you have to do it just once.

The 6 pin is just power => connect to any fan connectors and the heater The 8 pin are the sensors => z-probe and thermristor

Thanks for sharing that design. It's on my list to print.

@bartolomeus Glad you got it sorted it's not something I have tried so not looked to deeply into the M669 (I thought it was only for Cartesian Corey polar scare and any other custom Kinematic other than Delta)

@Danal I am well aware of the workings of the strain sensor in the Smart Effector. I have followed the docs in regards to plastic washers etc. As i have already written, i conced that it is probably what caused the malfunction, but curious as to "how/why"

@fragle said in Z-probe Smart effector is not working competely: M558 P5 H3 F120 T6000 ; Set Z probe type to switch and the dive height + speeds The probing speed you have set (120) is too slow for the Smart Effector, and you have left out the recovery time parameter as has already been pointed out. Please read the setup instructions.

They can't be disabled in firmware because they are connected in parallel with the heatsink fan. You could run separate wires to the heatsink fan instead of using the 2 pins in the 6-pin connector. Or you could cut one of the traces that connects the LEDs, but of course that will void the warranty.

@kolja Yes passed finger test just fine. Can't feel any heat on sink w Noctua 40x10 from 12v on Duex 5. Some time ago I was experimenting with fans and forgot to pin 12v on Duex, so powered 12v Noctua from 24v, it worked just fine for about minute or 2 till I realized why it spins much faster. Not sure how long it has to work on 24v till damage occurs, but I think that 15-16v on Noctua will increase air flow without making in louder.

@oryhara In case anyone else encounters this issue in the future, I thought I'd add a recent finding: I've been having this issue frequently near a BMG extruder outlet. I'd cut the tube a couple of times to give it fresh material to clamp onto, which did help a bit, but the issue was slowly getting worse. I had a couple of the E3D Bowden fittings spares laying around and thought I'd try replacing the inner fitting. I cut 1/4 of it off to get it out, but was actually fairly surprised when I got it out. The original tube (also from Anycubic) had left some residue on the Bowden clip - you can see it in white. This was essentially coating the clip in PTFE as well, which substantially reduces the friction holding the tube in place (PTFE on PTFE has the nearly the lowest friction coefficient possible). I switched the tube to some leftover Capricorn tubing and changed out the fitting - I've noticed the difference immediately despite the smaller outer diameter of the Capricorn. TLDR? Public Service Announcement: Throw away your Anycubic PTFE tubing and replace the Bowden insert if you're having this problem.

@curieos said in Programming a smart effector: To continue this, several months later. I finally got around to building a second one. Unfortunately neither of them seem to work. I am able to program them, avrdude recognizes them as attiny44s, but the status light never comes on, and the probe seems to trigger somewhat randomly. Any ideas on troubleshooting? Everything else works fine, all the other lights light up, the only issue is probing. Both boards seem to have this issue. If the green trigger LED never comes on, I suggest you sort that out first. Check that it is fitted the right way round and the value of the series resistor is correct. Also, make sure you are using the correct firmware version - there are different firmwares for the version 1 and version 2 effectors.

thanks, That´s what I will do, duet fan section Vin pin to input of buck(24V) and Vfan to output of the buck (12v) so they are fuse protectect. just as stated at the wiki.

@dc42 This is my aproach. I am close to receive my second smart effecto and plan to have also a vocano setup and a v6 setup. But I was planning on using sets of filament named PLA-v6 PLA-volcano and set everything on the config file of each filament with a proper G30 setting. So when I change the tool, then I must change the filament to the proper one, and I hope the config file runs the height change and the bed calibration (not sure yet to use S4 or S6) My concern is, if I leave the filament set on tool, turn off the printer and turn it on, it should run the config.g of that filament when I start the print?
