Creality CR-10 upgrade

So i am back at mesh mapping and my inconsistent first layer accross the bedoinI might be doig it wrong.
My induction probe is offset on x axis by -24.5mm only and inline with the nozzle on y.

Do i need to position the nozzle where i want to probe or do i need to position the probe where i want to probe?
I am homing with probe and at the moment i do that at x10 y10.
Would probing at the bed center improve accuracy?

In general, when probing you tell the firmware where you want to probe, then it uses the declared XY probe offsets to put the probe where you specified, not the nozzle. The exception is a plain G30 or G30 S-1 move, which probes wherever the head currently is.

When using a Z probe to home Z, it is best to probe at the centre of the bed, because any print do is likely to use that area of the bed.

@dc42, swapping wifi for eth module, would i need to put eth firmware first or after swap?

Assuming you are using a recent firmware release, both run the same firmware file (Duet2CombinedFirmware.bin).

@phaedrux, can you post your HomeZMax.g script? I got Z max installed on Z endstop input and after power loss it slams into my bed. I have something incorrect.
Thanks

@agniusm Here you go

; HomeZMax.g
; Called to home Z to max endstop
;

M291 R"Are you sure?" P"Press OK to Home to ZMax. Or Cancel to abort." S3
M574 Z2 S1			; Set active-high switch (Opto) at the high end for Z Max.
M98 P"0:/sys/ZSpeedsZMaxHome.g"		; Load slower Z Speeds profile
G91				; Relative positioning
G1 S1 Z330 F300			; Move bed down until endstop triggers
G1 Z-5 F100			; back off 5mm
G1 S1 Z10 F100			; go back to trigger endstop more slowly
M98 P"0:/sys/ZSpeedsNormal.g"		; Load normal Z Speeds profile

@phaedrux Thank you.
I think i am missing something. I have not specified exact Z max distance. would that be the case?
How would you calculate exact one? I have induction probe for z min and a micro switch for z max
My induction is connected to E0 endstop and Z max to Z endstop

Phaedrux

I have another macro that lets me adjust the trigger height of my optical endstop. It could also be used to measure the exact distance and set the axis limit. I'll post that later today.

@dc42
I have replaced my duet wifi with eth. What procedure i should follow to get firmware working?
I had latest duet firmware, updated prob 3 weeks ago.
Thanks

What firmware is the new board currently running? If it's at least 2.0 or newer you can upload the single combined zip file as is and the duet will extract the firmware files and update everything as needed.

Otherwise, the usual procedure here should work: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Installing_and_Updating_Firmware

Agniusm

Thanks. Yes, most recent, 2.2something.
I cant upload as i cannot connect yet

Phaedrux

In that case you can either edit the config file manually to grab a DHCP IP address from the router or set one manually and connect.

Or you could place the firmware file on the SD card and send the command to update it but then you're still in the same situation if needing to connect to the network, so might as well just start with that.

Agniusm

Gotcha. Will edit.

All sorted now. Works great
