setup and calibration. having serious issues
-
I think you'll need to be a bit more specific.
What board are you using, what printer do you have, which version of the bltouch probe and so on.
What does your configuration look like and what is going wrong?
This has a few tips on how to help us help you .. https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/5909/guide-for-posting-requests-for-help/1

You need to change the M307 line under Z-Probe and make sure the H value lines up with the heater number you have connected to the bltouch.
For example, if you have the bltouch plugged into heater 7, change the line to the following
; Heaters M307 H7 A-1 C-1 D-1 ; disable heaterThen you will want to check the following files to make sure they have a consistent heater number in the M280 command as well.
/sys/deployprobe.g /sys/retractprobe.g -

M558 P7
This should be M558 P9 for the BLTouch.
I suggest you do some reading:

@Phaedrux i was wondering if the deploy,and retract files look right.

M280 P5 S90 :retract bltouch -
Do they work? Are you using heater pin 5? You may need to invert the command with
I1 -
@Phaedrux i believe it is pin 7 or 8. heater 3 i hooked it up according to pic on website. but cant find wiring diagram.
-
@tdybare69 i get a m280 error no matter if i set it to 5,7, or 9 like everybody is recommending. really need help.
-
Did you read any of the links I posted?
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Duet_Wiring_Diagrams
You'll need to know what pin you're connecting to. You'll need to follow the directions to unbind that heater pin to make it available as a servo pin. And you'll need to format your deploy and retract commands to use the right pin you've chosen.
-
@Phaedrux thanks for that i have it on pin 8 like in the pic, wich is heater3.
-
@tdybare69 i really do appreciate you taking the time to help me

Well if you are using heater three then you need a command M307 H3 A-1 C-1 D-1 to enable use of PWM on pin 8 of the expansion connector - assuming you are correct that pin 8 is heater 3.
And in your M280 commands you also specify heater 3 use M288 P3 ### where ### is the servo position value needed by the BLTouch.
For example M280 P3 160 will clear a BLTouch alarm condition.
I put all the needed commands for configuring a Z-probe using a BLTouch in a file named configprobe.g. Then I call this file where needed.
This is what is in that file - I am using heater 7:
M307 H7 A-1 C-1 D-1 ; disable heater 7 to enable PWM5 - PWM signal still appears on E6 connector on Duex5
M558 P9 H5 F300 T6000 A5 S0.01 R0.2 ; set probe configuration - step 1
G31 X-44 Y0 Z1.350 P25 ; set probe configuration - step 2
M280 P7 S160 ; clear BLTouch alarm (if any)Frederick

@tdybare69 I reloaded dc42 frmware version DuetFirmware 2.03, then went into reprap configtool. while in there when i got to the endstop section before i clicked bltouch. i checked the box for deploy/retract option. then finished config. uploaded it here is my config
