Solved Motor phase A and B may be disconnected reported from driver 2

Are there any markings on the Z motor to indicate its type?
Have you set up the deployprobe.g and retractprobe.g files for the BLTouch?

Hello,
Thanks a lot for giving me a hand.
On the motors it is written :
Anet Step motor
42SHDC3025-24BMy deployprobe.g reads as such :
; deployprobe.g
; called to deploy a physical Z probe

M280 P3 S10 I1 ; deploy BLTouchand my retractprobe.g :
; retractprobe.g
; called to retract a physical Z probe

M280 P3 S90 I1 ; retract BLTouchThanks once again for the help, I really appreciate it

Okay what I did is wire both of my motors to the same connector (ZA) and instead of 500mA I put 1000mA.
Now my Z axis is moving. The only thing left is the BLtouch.
Now that I can home Z, I realise that it doesn't use my BLtouch for the homing, I pull and push the pin manually and it doesn't stop.
Thanks in advance for all the help

Note that I have a genuine BLtouch classic if it might help you troubleshoot my problem

Funny thing, I was having these exact same issues the other day, but assumed I had 7 faulty motors as we were robbed the week before and they threw everything on the floor that they didn't want to steal.
Was also on the Z motors and my BL deploys, and then just stays there.
At least my motors have a bit of hope then. Been meaning to finish off the project. But need to redesign the X to move the hotend 20mm down so it can reach the bed.
Out of interest, did you perhaps try allocate E1 as a second Z motor driver aswell?
-
No I didn't try to reallocate anything. And honestly since now my Z axis is working I'm scared to touch anything, I'm just super glad I got this part working. I really hope I can get my bltouch working now so I can finally enjoy my shiny new board
-
I measured the voltage going into the bltouch and it's 4.95v which I'm sure is okay. I'm really clueless now

Last post !
Found out my issue was completely stupid. I had a bad multimeter that showed continuity in my servo wire when there was none, it was broken
Now it works !
Thanks a lot for everything

Glad you got it sorted out! BLTouch wiring has given many people a headache.

Yeah but it is so easy with the tutorial. I can't believe my multimeter was the main culprit ahahah
