z calibration fog

ziggymanpopo · 18 May 2020, 05:23

looking at "all" the information about calibrating my z probe confused me more than helped
i am assuming im missing a G30 command in my homex.g file ????
is this the command that uses the offset and what would be the proper way to fix my permanent z =0?? with the z offset recorded in the right location
if i right click on the z prob entry on the dwc and it pops up a window and asks for a new offset to be entered,,what is this function exactly for ??? and does it save what i put in after reboot or a restart of the dwc

currently after homing all axeses the probe returns a setting of 6.35 mm in the +
i can bring the extruder to the glass

i believe the G92 Z0 command i used some time ago i did after mechanical leveling the build platform and brining it to the paper then entered a G92 Z0 entry to lock in the 6.35mm
i get now

i allways home to the same 6,35mm

so here is my question:
am i using the right sequence to Configure the z prob file for Duet WiFi and where am i wrong ??
second do i adjust my z home G30 entry to install the z offset (which i dont have in my home .gZ) ??
or is this G30 command only suppose to be in my configG
my intent is to calibrate the z probe and start a new thread about how activate bed mesh leveling if i cant figure it out ...here are the files i have for config and home all home z

FYI . capasitive sensor

@ziggymanpopo said in z calibration fog:

G31 P500 X-42 Y-5 Z1.35 ; Set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height - is Nozzle hoger

This is where the trigger height is set. This determines what height the nozzle is at when the probe triggers. Where are you getting 6mm?

Please post your homeall and homez.

remove that from config.g it should not be loaded at startup. Move it to your slicer start gcode instead to load it before the print starts.

Will it prevent changes in g 31

Phaedrux · 18 May 2020, 20:11

I don't understand what you mean.

ziggymanpopo · 18 May 2020, 21:48

Having the bes mesh levaling in my config g

Phaedrux · 18 May 2020, 21:59

Loading the mesh before the Z0 point has been found with the probe can lead to stacking z offset errors.

That might be part of my problem my problem i cant seem to home in my z probe thru G 31. i make an ajustment in the z there and it seems to have no efect.
I accidentally entered a wrong command last night and had to reload www file... my mistake, so they helped me get it up last night by re-entering the www file.. i noticed that afrer the reload now baby stepping wont work on the fly.. this is not related to my z probe issues i thought i would mention it.. i think maybe because i have the new duet interface (www. File is all that i loaded still running same ver. files as before ) i was up with it till 6:30 this morn 🤪 learned a whole bunch thou. So gotta get some sleep and ill hit it again later. here are a few thing for you to think on till i get back...... again thanks much

Here's an example of what can happen when loading the heightmap in config.g

Verry intrresting !! More clarity awesome !! so I probably dont see the baby sepping nor am i able to adjust the offset due to being off by two offsets instead of just the one incorect entry??
Would that be a fair assumption?? So my plan could be ... for now, is to comment out bed leveling ?? At least untill i teach my self how to put those command in a slicer start code, then see what efect it has when i remove them??
Where can i learn about how to instal the bed mesh and where.. is there enough info in the duet docs ??
As far as where i got the 6mm from it would be the trigger heights that the duet flashes plus the estimated amount i needed to corect the z setting
I will post what i have im my files later. All new stuff thanks
