Bltouch Probing Question
-
So I setup my BLtouch per these instructions at this link. And it works fine for the most part. But I noticed everytime it probes when it lifts up it deploys and retracts an extra time as its lifting. So its moving the probe double for every time it probes. Why is it doing that.? Does it have anything to do with my deploy and retract macros I created?

M98 Pdeployprobe.g ; deploy mechanical Z probe
Remove that from bed.g. The firmware will handle the deployment as needed.
M558 P9 H7 F200 T4000 X0 Y0 Z1 ; Set Z probe type/mode 9. H=Dive Height. F=Speed the bed moves
Remove the X0 Y0 Z1 part. It's not used anymore. The M574 Z1 S2 command already sets the Z stop as the probe.
The rest of your config looks ok for BLTouch settings.
You haven't posted your deploy and retract macros, but if it's working to home the printer that would indicate that it is working.
Does the double probing you describe also apply to homing?
What firmware version are you using?
What version of BLTouch is it?
-
Im using version 2.0(RTOS) (2018-06-05b3) for my firmware.
It does it anytime the probe is used whether im just homing Z or doing a bed mesh or whatever it doesnt matter. Like when I run an auto bed mesh you will hear it click 4 times for every probe. It will deploy, move down until it detects the bed and retract then quickly deploy and retract again as its lifting to move the next probe point.
I was at first using a 3dtouch clone then I swapped it out for a genuine V2.1 BLtouch and it acts exactly the same way.
I just started a 30 hour print, when that finishes I'll go and delete those lines you mentioned and see if it has any affect, thanks
-
The M98 command in your bed.g file may be causing this.
-
I just edited both those files and rebooted but it is the same. Removed the M98 command in bed.g and removed the X0 Y0 Z1 from the M558 command
-

Any other ideas? Im using a genuine bltouch now and I've deleted the M98 command as well as the X0 Y0 Z1 from the M558 command but it still does the same thing

What is in your deploy and retract files?
-
deployprobe.g is just one line M280 P7 S10 I1
retractprobe.g is M280 P3 S90 I1 -

Im using version 2.0
That firmware version is fairly out of date at this point. There have been some BLTouch changes since then.
Try updating to version 2.03 by going to the settings tab and uploading this zip file: https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/2.03/Duet2Firmware-2.03.zip

Awesome! I just updated and everything seems to be working properly, thanks. One question I dont see on the pages anywere that specify what is the latest version of wifi server and web interface etc. Are these all the latest versions?
Firmware Version: 2.03 (2019-06-13b2)
WiFi Server Version: 1.23
Web Interface Version: 1.22.6 -
Yes those are latest stable versions. There is also a beta of DWC 2.0 for those who want to try it.
-
@57buick By uploading that single combined zip file all the relevant firmwares, etc get updated.
-
Awesome thank you guys! I am ordering two more Duet boards for my Folgertech FT5 printers so I will make sure and install that file to those too
-
Note that that single file upload process only works with boards that are already running firmware 2.0 to begin with. If it's an older firmware you'd need to update the individual files first to at least 2.0
