      @H2B said in BlTouch 3.1 Flashing and Troubleshooting:

      No steppers are on the board so the likelihood of any large transient current is almost zero.

      can you disconnect the duex then and see if works on the duet normally.
      just to confirm that the problem is not with the duex or its wiring

        Same issue again. Touched it with the multimeter leads, it works. Remove them, it stops. And every time I touch it with the leads to measure voltages, the LEDs on the Duet get brighter (so more current draw). Never seen anything loaded by a voltmeter before..

          Same thing is still happening with nothing connected to the Duet2 except the BLTouch and Vin. All jumpers are in the right place, no steppers or anything really is connected. I am stupified...

              Factory wires:
              Default wire
              Default probe

              Extensions (top red on control is probe signal)
              custom control
              custom probe

                on the default wire

                the red wire is the voltage you seem to have swapped voltage and signal.

                  @Veti excuse me while I drive to Ben Nevis and take a leap off the top.

                  Fml, serious case of Dad brain this weekend. Sorry to waste everyone's time for something so damn trivial. I have never been more embarrassed.

                    that is what this forum is for.
                    sometimes you just need a second pair of eyes to look at a problem.

                        Hello all, I seem to be having some similar issues that I cannot figure out. I have tried two BLTouch 3.1 probes on my duet 2 wifi and they both end up getting stuck in alarm mode, flashing red. I have tried three sets of wires and two probes. I have had both of the probes successfully probe my bed, but they all end up in alarm mode. This happened within hours of installing each probe.

                        Thoughts?

                        Cheers everyone
