Duet3 wifi bltouch wiring

bjbeare

Using the wiki page https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_a_Z_probe, I have connected my bltouch on IO_7 connector: io7.in, io7.out, gnd (black and brown), 5v. For software, I used the configuration tool and set: Input Pin io7.in, Modulation Pin io7.out, PWM Control Channel (OUT7). I also set endstop to z-probe, bltouch.

I suspect that the PWM control channel OUT7 is incorrect. It seems that the schematic isn't released yet... but my guess is that one of the PWM pins has an optional output on io7.out. Is that right? Which one?

Love to get the schematic so that I can figure these things out for myself :).
Could you update the wiki page to provide this info?

Thank you,
Bruce

@bjbeare To be clear... I am using Duet3 6HC.

did you invert the pwm signal?

Just tried that. Thank you. It didn't seem to make a difference. Here is the current config.g bits.

; Endstops
M574 X1 S0 P"!^io0.in" ; configure active-low endstop for low end on X via pin !^io0.in
M574 Y1 S0 P"!^io1.in" ; configure active-low endstop for low end on Y via pin !^io1.in
M574 Z1 S2 ; configure Z-probe endstop for low end on Z

; Z-Probe
M950 S0 C"!out7" ; create servo pin 0 for BLTouch
M558 P9 C"io7.in+io7.out" H5 F120 T6000 ; set Z probe type to bltouch and the dive height + speeds
G31 P500 X0 Y0 Z2.5 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height

can you try

I have a functional BLtouch on io7 with these commands.

The bltouch flashes and probe does not deploy.

if it fails the self test on powerup, something else is wrong.

did you try the inversion?

These suggestions have been good. I'm able to send commands now and get the probe to deploy/test/retract. I'm still getting a flashing indication during homing and homing is failing. Working the issue.

Thanks for reporting back!

Sounds like a wiring issue or something with the ferrous core positioning -

Is it mounted straight in reference to gravity? Sometimes they bind funny
