G32 Error: Auto calibration failed

Dugee

G32 Error: Auto calibration failed because probe point P0 was unreachable using the current delta parameters. Try a smaller probing radius.

I'm running a small delta, 130mm height, 55mm bed radius.

printed some early stage calibration prints last night. Had some decent results other than having to use about 0.6-7mm baby stepping to the my 1st layer down.
decided to go back to the "calibrating a delta printer" guide to do it properly. got my Z height set and did a probe of the 16 points to identify any variance from X0Y0, entered these into my bed.g, ran auto calibration and get the message above.

I can probe P0 manually using G1 X0 Y48 Z10 followed by G30 S-1 and on current config get the following:

10:46:14 PMG30 S-1
Stopped at height -1.331 mm
10:46:04 PMG1 X0 Y48 Z10
10:45:43 PMG28

I have no idea what I have done to cause this and cannot revert to any autocalibration

Really confused as everything I did tonight should only have improved my calibration, instead of maing things worse. I got a 20mm cube to print at +/-0.5mm so was hopeful of getting good dimensional accuracy with improved calibration and set up.

When I run calibration it fails, giving the message, and when I home after it, DWC gives me an error that home cannot be reached but the X, Y, Z co-ordinates ahowing are:

Any help would be appreciated as I am totally confused. I m hoping that I have put a character in the wrong place or something stupid, but I am now lost.

@Dugee not sure quite why it was working and then stopped when you added the H offsets. Try:

Try moving down before trying to probe. might be that its trying to go to Y48 with the axis at the top, hard up against the endstops..
So in bed.g, after the G28 try adding:

G1 X0 Y0 Z50 F9000 ; move down before probing

It should not be that because from the documentation:
With a Z parameter of -9999 or less, the head moves to the specified XY coordinates and the dive height (set using the H parameter in the M558 command), and probes the bed.

It might be the order of the commands (although i doubt it). you have the H value after the Z value in your first line or probing, change to:

G30 P0 X0 Y48 H0.13 Z-99999

also should not be this as the command order should be interchangeable, but try it.

Try sending the exact command that is failing from the console and see if it works.

Upgrade to firmware 2.04 RC1 as there is a bug in 2.03 for delta auto calibration.

@T3P3Tony

prior to running the 1st autocalibration last night I manually probed all the bed points and returned the following figure:

X	Y	1	2	3	4	5	AVERAGE	variance from x0y0

and I was also able to manually probe using a G1 X0 Y48 Z20 followed by G30 S-1.

When I get home later I will retry the autocalibration, but change from S-6 to S-1 initially just to check that there are values being returned for all the probe point before doing anything else, if autocalibration fails after returned data I will remove all the H parameters and try again.

@jay_s_uk I am running 2.04 RC1 firmware, so hopefully that isn't the issue.

Dougal1957

the G30 P8 line in your Bed.g is missing a decimal point on the H parameter causing it to think the offset at that point is huge (192mm)also I notice in your M563 line you have the dive hight set to 1mm maybe increase this as well.

Maybe that is what is causing it too fail?

Doug

Dugee

@Dougal1957 I think that missing decimal point may be it! that would throw everything way out. I looked at those files about 40 times and never spotted this.

You may be my new hero. I'll report back as soon as I can.
