Auto Bed levelling Errors - printer continues print

WillGIam

Hey everyone!

I have now 4 printers running with duet, sensorless homing and auto bed compensation.

But everytime he gets an error while probing (Z probe not triggered, Z probe already triggered, measurements not consistent, ...) he continues printing instead of stopping. Is there any way to configure this? So that he lifts Z and stops for example?

Thats my config.g:

M203 Z500
G91 ; relative positioning
G1 Z5 F1000 S2 ; lift Z relative to current position
G90 ; absolute positioning
G1 X30 Y30 F12000 ; go to first probe point
G30 ; home Z by probing the bed
M203 Z1800

The homing script is a little workaround, because sometimes he recognizes the "endstop" while homing too early. Playing around with sensitivity and speed did not ended up in good results.

Have a nice week.

Yes, use RepRapFirmware 3.01 and use conditional GCode to terminate the print if there was a probing error.

If you're using a BLTouch you can clean up this command a bit for potentially better results.

Thanks for your answer. I´m not using a BLTouch.

I´ll try a newer firmware.

Thanks!

conditional GCode

Hey DC42!

Thanks for your answer. So if I see this right, I have to add an if loop after G29 where I have to ask for error messages? Is there a boolean or something like this? I cannot find the right page in the documentation I think...

Best regards

WillGIam

@dc42

I can´t find a list with the "native" variables of the firmware. I could use the abort function after my G29 in an if loop for checking for error messages, but I don´t know how they named. I found some scripts online, but I don´t know where they got the information about the other variables....
