BLtouch v 3.1 running on RR 3.1.1 Duet 2 Eth
-
Good day,
Wanted to apologize in advance if you have seen my kind of request many times. I did search the forum and still have issues with my BL touch running on Duet 2 1.4 ethernet @ 3.1.1
Issue:
BLT version 3.1
BLtouch does not deploy or retract.
@ boot time I see BLT flashing red but after running the macro “deploy” it turns blue and just sits there
Same is with retract, nothing works.
I did follow the direction for “Software setup (RepRapFirmware 3)”
I even went back to reprap 2.05 and followed oftware setup (Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet running RepRapFirmware 2) without any success.
I took another bltouch from my other printer which I know works and same signature with the 2nd bltouch.
https://betrue3d.dk/bltouch-on-duet-wifi-duetreprapfirmware/ was also looked at and same signature.;config.go

@Vasir swap your m950 and m558 lines round so it is...

@Vasir please set the offset values for X and Y in the G31 also, see https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Test_and_calibrate_the_Z_probe#Section_Measuring_Probe_X_Y_Offset
If the swap does not work, please show complete config, displayprobe, retractprobe, homeall.

@PaulHew
Hello,Same result, I do hear maybe a 5 hz banging on the probe itself now but it does not deploy. When I execute the retract, the banging stops. Same with the S120 selftest.
I am starting to think that somehow I fried the heater pin (3) because it looks like it wants to deploy and cant. BUT the same is on pin heater 7.deploy macro: M280 P0 S10
retract macro: M280 P0 S90 -
@JoergS5
I am using the link:
https://github.com/SecKit/SK-Go_SK-Mini/blob/master/firmware/RepRap/Ravindra Karonde's config
and made modifications to add the bltouch.So I only changed this part.
; Endstops
M574 X1 Y1 S3 ; set X endstops to use motor stall
M574 Z1 S2 ; set z-Probe; Z-Probe

@Vasir first step would be all your config files, but I see only part of it, homeall is missing and config also. You have no R value to change, the one line with an R is commented out. homeall is important to see whether z probe is placed and used as z endstop correctly.
But the problem could be mechanical also, the Z distance from Bltouch to bed is important (those 8+-0.5 mm). You can check wiring also.
And G31 X and Y are 0, which is wrong, but of course not the problem now, But please don't forget to set later, otherwise you get wrong mesh compensation.The homeall of Ravindra seems to be not fully correct, e.g. G1 H1 S1 X-325 F4000 has an S1 which is wrong. S is used for laser mode now.

Thanks @JoergS5 for responding,
Lets forget about the homing, I am not even close
To double check I put the DUT (device under test (bltouch)) to a known working setup (X1) 3d printer and it works as expected so the device mechanical part is not an issue.
I wanted to just check the deploy and retract aspect of the probe and then move to more interesting things. You think that by just setting up the probe and issuing deploy/retract command would at least test the mechanical part of the test?
How would I test the heater 3 pin? -
First lets verify what version of firmware you're running. Send M115 to verify.
Then send M98 P"Config.g" in the gcode console and report any errors that come up.
It sounds like your BLTouch is working in another machine. And your config looks ok, but to be sure, please upload your actual config.g, homeall, and deploy retract files.

M558 P9 F100 H5 R0.1 T6000 A5 B1It was correct to exchange the order of M558 and M950, M558 first. But the second M558 should be removed, the R A B parameters can be added to the first M558.
The low Z value in M566 is strange, but I am no jerk specialist to know whether it's too low.
-
Yes the second one was a typo.
Looks like it is getting the command but the servo does not respond.
Just for fun I did a rewire with new wire set, still same. -

I use the positions of the cables at the 5-pin connector of the bltouch to know which cable is which connection, because the colors are sometimes wrong.
If you cannot deploy/retract, it can be a wrong position of bltouch core. Turning carefully half turn the allen key on top of the BLTouch.

It does work on my second X1 printer. But let me try and I will report back.

Thank you all for helping me trying to resolve my issue. I believe I know what the issue is.
Trying to get things setup faster I used extra wires I had in my garage. Long story short, the long wires used to be part of an old scope I had many cycles ago. These wires have 50 ohm resistors at the end (line impedance) and that is why the probe did not work. I used normal wires and all is good.
You guys know about these types of wires …..
