3.1.1 - BLtouch doesn't function after cancelling a job.
-
The BLTouch works as expected up until cancelling an active job. I'm able to run delta calibration, mesh bed probing, z=0 datum probing, manually send all the supported servo commands.

Do you have a cancel.g file in /sys?

M558 P9 C"zprobe.in+zprobe.mod" H5 F120 T12000 A10 S0.018
Not sure if this will help, but modify this command to be:

I will try it when I get some free time anyhow.If it helps, here are oscope traces from before and after cancelling a print, and sending the "pin down" command.
First trace results in pin down, second does not.
Looks like possible noise being introduced after a cancelled job? really unsure.
I should note that I don't remember this behavior occurring before updating to RRF 3.
-
The main thing was removing the probe mod pin and adding the pullup resistor enable, but recovery/settle time is a good idea for the bltouch anyway.
Do you have a cancel.g in /sys?
Are the motors being disabled or going idle?
-
@Phaedrux Oh sorry, I thought I had said. No I don't have a cancel.g
The bltouch doesn't work with motors idle or active when in this state - I discovered this after starting a new print and having my hotend crash into my build plate.
Will check the mod pin thing when I have a chance. Though I should note that's what the config tool spat out to me when I selected a bltouch.
-
Yes the config tool has the mod pin selected by default. It's on the list to change. Only analogue probes that require modulation use it.
Can you try creating a cancel.g file? Either blank or with some sort of commands on what to do after cancelling.
Here's mine as example
; cancel.g ; ; Run when the print is paused, and then canceled. ; G10 P0 R0 S0 ; Set hotend temp to 0 M140 S0 ; Set bed temp to 0 M106 S255 ; Fan at 100 to cool nozzle and bed M220 S100 ; Set speed factor back to 100% in case it was changed M221 S100 ; Set extrusion factor back to 100% in case it was changed M290 R0 S0 ; clear babystepping M204 P1000 T4000 ; Set printing and travel accelerations M566 X900 Y900 Z30 ; Set maximum instantaneous speed changes (mm/min) (Jerk) G28 XY ; home XY M98 P"0:/sys/CurrentsNormal.g" ; return motor currents to normal M98 P"0:/sys/ZSpeedsNormal.g" ; return Z axis speeds to normal M84 ; turn off steppers G4 S60 ; wait 1 minute for nozzle to cool M107 ; turn off the fan M98 P"0:/macros/Musical Tunes/TwoBits.g" ; play a tune -
A blank cancel.g and the M558 adjustments result in no change.
-
What version of BLtouch is it by the way?
-
@Phaedrux A 3.1, genuine.
-
Looks like you have a lot of stepper motor noise in your system. How have you connected the BLTouch to the Duet WiFi, in particular the two ground wires?
-
Both ground wires are connected as described by the z-probe setup guide
But your comment on stepper noise had me thinking:
"If it's stepper noise, why does it only occur after cancelling a print, and not when I'm swinging the effector around beforehand"Which led me to the root cause of my issue, my extruder stepper. Specifically (I guess), the hold current.
I tested this with manual control. BlTouch pin down, up. Works great.
Extrude 1mm, command BLTouch, no result.
Issue a
M18 E0, bltouch immediately follows the last command sent.So looks like my extruder stepper is the noisy one. This makes sense, following wire routing.
For now I guess I'll just issue a M18 within my cancel.g.
Unsure what would have caused this to only act up starting with RRF 3.1.1 - perhaps the configurator has a higher default extruder current than it did the last time I ran it?

@icecube45 Wow, i recently had this problem after switching from duet 2 to duet 3 mini 5+ and M18 E0 before homing worked like a charm, i think this problem might come from different TMC drivers and their switching frequency.
Thank you for sharing this solution.
