z probe stopped working after update
-
After board change and firmware update, the Z probe stopped working, using inductive sensor
1.Sensor's LED comes up once expose to metal
2. changed the probe, even then no luckwhat could be the issue, sharing the config.g and file below

Some things wrong with your config.g:
Remove or comment out M587 commands (in 'Network') from your config.g. These are already stored in the WiFi module's flash memory. Note from gcode dictionary:
Important! Do not use M587 within config.g. As well as being a security hazard, writing the access point parameters to WiFi chip every time you start the Duet may eventually wear out the flash memory.
Two M584 commands (you don't define stepper driver 11 anywhere, so I guess the first can be deleted):
M584 X5 Y6 Z7 U11 E3:4 ; create the U axis and assign stepper driver 11 to it
; Drives
...
M584 X5 Y6 Z7 U10 E3:4 ; Apply custom drive mappingYou seem to be using external stepper drivers (not Duex) on drives 5, 6, 7, and 10, mapped to X, Y Z and U. The firmware can't set the microstepping M350 or motor currents M906 for these motors, it's done by the external stepper driver.
For you Z probe, it's currently defined as:
M307 H7 A-1 C-1 D-1 ; disable heater on PWM channel for BLTouch
M558 P5 H5 F130 T6000 I1 ; set Z probe type to bltouch and the dive height + speeds
G31 P500 X0 Y0 Z1.55 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger heightZ Probe type is set to P5 with M558 (which I think is correct). Why do you disable the heater on H7 (M307)? How is the probe connected?
Check connections, see here for details, assuming sensor is NPN normally open inductive sensor: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_a_Z_probe#Section_NPN_output_normally_open_inductive_or_capacitive_sensor
I think the output of the sensor should be connected directly to the Z-probe IN. Possibly it is not connected correctly, or polarity of power wires to probe is incorrect.Ian

Thanks droftarts,
I'll correct as suggested,
Heater pin, I was using Bltouch earlier, it was connected to the heater Pin,later changed to proximity sensor (P5)
It was working fine till the time the board change took place, once updated to the latest firmware, had lot disconnection issue then switch over to the previous version, then the z Probe stopped working
Z probe reading on DWC o constant, the sensor led comes up once expose to metal which means the sensor working fine but duet not reading the signal (Signal wire connected to Duet probe IN)
Is there any glare of error in config.g
I've changed the probe twice thought that the sensor could be the issue, but that might not be the problem -
Is there any alternative, if the z probe (Proximity sensor) not working then I can use microswitch as Endstop and run the printer now and later I can change to Bltouch
what need to be changed in the config and wiring for microswitch -
@Milan said in z probe stopped working after update:
Z probe reading on DWC o constant, the sensor led comes up once expose to metal which means the sensor working fine but duet not reading the signal (Signal wire connected to Duet probe IN)
M558 P5 defines a switch, with G31 P500 defining the trigger value. Could be the trigger value is too high; try changing it to a lower value (try 10, 100, 250) and see if the endstop triggers. Have you changed from 24V to 12V, or wired the sensor differently? A picture might help.
Yes, you can change it for a microswitch. Or you can manually jog the Z until the nozzle touches the bed, and send G92 Z0 to set the position.

Just to reiterate what @Veti doesn’t get tired of to propagate: you could also have a look at this here - IMHO, that is less troublesome than a BLtouch.

What type of Z probe do you have, and how have you connected it to the Duet?
