Odd homing behaviour
-
Evening all I recently swapped out the bltouch sensor for an aus3d ir sensor I'm getting some random homing heights.
I have it wired into the z probe connector on the duet wifi 2 board with the connector viewed at the bottom from left to right yellow black green and finally red.
Is there likely to be anything residual in the settings ?
I'm using a cctree (textured blue surface) wondered if this could be causing an issue!
Just wondered if i had covered all my bases before suspecting the sensor at fault have attached my config is there anything I should enter g code wise prior to executing the G28 command within simplify to home all .
It looks as if its doubling my z height as it looks to start printing where it should be starting from lol; Configuration file for Duet WiFi (firmware version 2.03)

Thank you for the info what will this do for me in regards to the random z height ?

it will tell you how consistent your probe is over an average of 10 reads

Hi finally got around to trying this and although it repeats itself consistently I still don't have the correct offset when I home the printer.
I have tried placing different surfaces underneath the sensor thinking it can't see the printed clearly but when it homes it literally doubles the gap it should be once homed. -
I have changed P1 to P2 for modulated and removed the H3 which is a heater setting remaining from previous BLTouch does it need to stay for the ir sensor?

if it consistent on the macro but the offset is wrong then you need to adjust the offset.
