      I can't get the IR Sensor to Z0.

      Sensor is physically adjusted to be 1.5mm above nozzle. Offset -2/26.5 (x/y).
      Adjusting it to 1.5mm above nozzle gives me a trigger hight of 3.14mm but shall aim for 0.5 to 2.5mm according to DC42's page. Also, the vallue shown at 3.14mm trigger is 1000.
      I suspect, the probe is broken.
      Any help highly appreciated.

      PS: Duet3 RRF3.1.1 CoreX/Y

        How do you have it setup in config.g?
        What is your bed surface?

          Bed surface is a Geckotech.

            @observatoer said in IR Sensor and trigger hight:

            M558 P8

            You should be using M558 P1 for analogue probe mode.

              @Phaedrux Tried P1 w same result. Saw a comment from DC42 to use Mode 8 for the probe on RRF3.

                Does performance change with a piece of paper on the bed surface?

                  @Phaedrux No, I already tried different surfaces and they where detected equally.

                    so you've gone through this procedure?

                      @Phaedrux Yes, several times to confirm doing it right.

                        So what exactly is happening incorrectly? I'm not sure I understand from your first post.

                        When you use G30 s-1 to measure the trigger height, what value do you get?
                        When you use that value in G31 Z, are you able to move the nozzle to touch the bed at z0?

                          Doing G30 S-1 gives me 3.14. Adding this to the config.g and home Z gives me Z=0, but the nozzle is esteem. 3.14mm above the bed.
                          If I reajust the probe hight, the same thing happens, just with different values. Higher probe, lower Z and visa versa.

                            Considering that you have the z-probe fine Tuned and configured. You commented that you have the problem when you do the homing. Is it possible that you do not use the z-probe to set z=0 and that there is this difference of one millimeter between the z-axis sensor and the z-probe?

                            In my printer, with dual z axis, after home with micros witches every motor, I run a G30 command to set Z=0 with de Z-probe then I run a G32 command.

                            It works well for me in reprap 3.1 on a duetWifi+Duex

                                  Your homing files are using end stops to home Z and not the probe.

                                  G1 H1 Z-305 F360 ; move Z down stopping at the endstop
                                  G90 ; absolute positioning
                                  G92 Z1.60 ; Remark: Adjuted from Z0 to Z1.60 // set Z position to axis minimum (you may want to adjust this)
                                  

                                  These sections should be replaced with

                                  G1 X100 Y100 F6000 ; move probe to center of the bed. Adjust as needed.
                                  G30 ; probe the bed to establish z0
