Strange issues with CORExy, sensorless homing, BLtouch.

Your files did not upload correctly, please upload them again.
Where are you located (if you want somone to sit down and help you with it)? -
I/m in houston. do they work now?
-
No ... are you using the 'upload' button on the far right above the text composition window ?
-
I think you got it now, the bed.g file has just shown up.
.... and here are the rest ..... -
@1SLOWc6 said in Strange issues with CORExy, sensorless homing, BLtouch.:
when I turn the machine on the hotend says active and setpoint/standby is set to -2xx degrees for some reason.
This happens because you have a T0 in your config.g which enables the first tool. Which is fine, but you don't have a G10 command to set the temps. -273 just means that the tool is selected, but the heater is off.
You might wanna add something like this to your tool definition.
M563 P0 S"Titan Aero" D0 H1 ; Define tool 0 (Titan Aero extruder) G10 P0 X0 Y0 Z0 ; Set tool 0 axis offsets G10 P0 R0 S0 ; Set initial tool 0 active and standby temperatures to 0C T0 ; Select first tool
Did you create your own config from scratch, or did you use the online configurator tool? Starting with the online tool is a good idea, because it should give you a working base (provided you fill out the details accurately).
; Microstepping M350 X128 Y128 Z16 E16 I1 ; configure micro-stepping with interpolation M92 X640.00 Y640.00 Z720.00 E415 ; set steps per mm (813/814 worked pretty good)
I would suggest sticking to x16 microstepping with interpolation to x256 enabled. You'll get the smooth quiet operation without risking overloading the CPU during fast movement.
M558 P9 F1500 H5 T6000 ; Set Z probe type to bltouch and the dive height + speeds
Your BLTouch dive rate is ridiculously high.
Try this instead
M558 P9 H5 F60 T6000 A10 R0.75 S0.003 B1
What exactly is the problem? Is sensorless homing working for X and Y? The BlTouch dive speed would explain the inability to get a good first layer. You're probing way too fast. But does it otherwise work? Does it deploy and retract the pin and stop movement when triggered?
G1 S1 Y-345 F2600 ; move 345mm, stopping at the endstop G4 P125 ; wait 130msec G1 Y10 F1000 ; move away from home 10mm G4 P125 ; wait 130msec G1 S1 Y-345 F2600 ; move towards axis minimum again stopping at the endstop G4 P125 ; wait 130msec ; X AXIS G1 S1 X-690 F2600 ; move 690mm, stopping at the endstop G4 P125 ; wait 130msec G1 X10 F1000 ; move away from home 10mm G4 P125 ; wait 130msec G1 S1 X-690 F2600 ; move towards axis minimum again stopping at the endstop G4 P125 ; wait 130msec
I see you have a much of G4 wait commands in your homing files. Totally unnecessary.

I will give those a try. Sensorless homing is working but for some reason the probe randomly doesn't deploy and the bed drives through the hotend. Something is causing it to randomly do this. It will work a couple times then surprise you out of nowhere the probe doesn't deploy and it will keep driving up.
On the micro stepping I was told to do that for the sensoreless homing needing more accuracy. Is that not the case?

No. It's going to stop at full steps, not microsteps. And even then it's full steps within a margin.
For the BLTouch, have you tested it like this?

And have you seen these?

If you send M401 and M402 does the pin deploy and retract?
Your deploy and retract macros look correct. -
Sorry I edited my last post. I typed that while having a conversation with someone here at work. Just to be clear the probe works and is calibrated but randomly malfunctions and the bed never stops driving up until you shut the printer off.

Is it a clone?
Is the wiring flexing at all causing an intermittent break?You can decrease the Z axis motor current during probing to limit any damage if the head should crash.
-
Not a clone and i have rewired several times. I am very ocd when it comes to wiring. i have also change it out with another brand new sensor with same intermittent results.

The other thing I noticed is the trigger height
G31 X15 Y0 Z4.2 P25
4mm is a bit high. When mounted in spec, it should be close to 2mm. I wonder if the nozzle is hitting the bed before the probe can trigger.
