G30 S-1 Single Probe Command Not Responding to FSR Limit
-
Having problems with auto calibration. When I enter the single probe cmd G30 S-1 (at X0 Y0 Z5) the hot end moves down but doesn't stop after the FSR triggers, it continues down until I cut power to the machine. E0 end stop LED (red goes off) and JohnSL LED (green goes off & triggered FSR red goes on) get triggered but nozzle keeps moving down. FSRs seem to trigger easily when the bed is pushed with LEDs on JohnSL and Duet Wifi blinking accordingly. I have reviewed my setup files numerous times and can't find my error. I've readjusted bed/FSR mounts to make sure they are not binding and checked my cabling even tho' the LED lights trigger correctly when the bed is manually pushed.
Machine is a Mini Kossel (with a shortened overall height, build height is approx 160mm). I've manually calibrated the bed using the 4 point paper test at the center and three tower locations. The nozzle tracks well over the bed when I manually move the effector and the the height measurements are repeatable from day to day. All elements of the machine seem to be operating correctly and move appropriately when commanded.
One additional note: When I home the towers from a tower base position (i.e. X0 Y56 for the Z-Twr) only one tower is homed, the other two stop short and a second home-all needs to be issued to complete the homing of all three towers. I'm running a reduced build radius of R=56 mm until fully commisioned. My homedelta.g file is copied right from the wiki.
Any help will be greatly appreciated as I can't find my error after several days of internet searching and physical review of build.
Thanks, Ed

Usually when an axis doesn't move far enough to hit the endstop, the line that tells that axis to move doesn't have a large enough move specified. For example, the X axis is 400mm long, and the home file only tells it to move X300 and the endstop is actually at X400. If it starts its move at a distance more than 300, then it'll never reach it.
For the probe, make sure it's triggering as expected, use M119 or check the Settings->Machine Properties tab.

One problem down, FSRs still issue.
1. Homing issue solved. I changed the axis values as suggested and homing issue is solved.
2. FSR tripping. I went to the Machine Properties tab and the FSRs are triggering, however they do not remain in a triggered state for long. They trigger from an intermittent flash (from green to red back to green on the JohnSL board) to a longer but still short period of being red for approx. 0.5 seconds before returning to a non triggered state. I don't know if this is the proper behavior from the FSR/JohnSL or not. But if the triggered condition is of too short a duration it may not be registering with the duet (altho' the duet LED does flash from red to off in conjunction with the triggering on the JohnSL).
I played with the P variable in G31 X0 Y0 Z0 P500 but that didn't seem to have an impact. My understanding of P is that it is a trigger sensitivity level and has nothing to do with time delay anyway.
So, thanks, one issue solved but one still remaining.
Thanks,
Ed

I executed the G30 S-1 cmd and watched closely as the command was executed. The print head moved slowly to the bed, the triggers (LEDs) indicated on both the JohnSL and Duet that a trigger had occurred the LEDs remained red/JohnSL and out/Duet, but the head continued down into bed until I killed power so I don't believe this is an intermittent triggering of the FSRs being reported to the Duet.
At a loss for what is causing this.

If you think that the Duet may not be recognising the short trigger pulse, try reducing the P parameter in the G31 command to 50 or even 20. That will speed up recognition of the signal. But I've never heard of people having problems using the JohnSL board with the Duet before. Check that you still have Z probe type 4 selected by running M558 with no parameters.
-
PS - if the Duet endstop LED goes from red to off when the board triggers, that implies that it has an active high output. But the I1 parameter in the M558 command in the config.g file you posted earlier is for an active low output.

Ok, I'm still processing all this but it seems to be working. As usual operator error. Thanks to dc42 for providing me with enough information to figure out my mistake on the FSR and StephenRC for the homing issue.
1. Had endstop plugged into E1 not E0 my stupidity and maybe a bit of dyslexia as I get tired.
….....as viewed on board
E1-Therm E0-Therm E1-Stop [E0-Stop] X-Stop Y-Stop Z-Stop2. But I had to change I1 (low) to I0 (high) to get it to work but I thought this had to be inverted (low) to work. Not going to question it at the moment will dig into it later to understand my error in thinking.
The following is the current LED action and seems correct:
Now it's green light JohnSL….red light duet when not triggered
red light JohnSL....off at duet when triggeredand the G30 and G32 cmds appear to be working.
Hopefully, I've now got this animal working correctly and I can revert back to reading posts and not making them.
Thanks to All, its been a big help and learning process.
Thanks,
Ed
