Bltouch setup need help

Elvis0z

Hey guys need help to set this up its a v1.0 bltouch. It does deploy and retract when I power on the printer which is a Tevo Black Widow. I have x and y homing just need help to set up the bltouch. Here is my config.g. This was partially set up by some one else with a black widow. They have an ir sensor for bed leveling. I'm on firmware v3.11

@Elvis0z you need to set M558 to P9 and add a M950 after it. Please see https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_a_Z_probe#Section_Software_setup_RepRapFirmware_Num_3 as first info. The bltouch is the first version, you may need to change voltage level from 5 to 3.3 volt. There is information on antclabs and this forum about how to adapt.

Elvis0z

Thanks JoergS5
I get this error when I try to home all x and y home z does not

Please send M115 and verify that you have 3.1.1 installed.

Post your homeall as well.

What pins are you connecting the BLtouch to? The servo pin must be defined in M950.

The deploy and retract probe macros will need to be created as well.

If this is a recent Duet wifi you shouldn't have to do anything special for 5v versus 3.3v

@Elvis0z said in Bltouch setup need help:

; Z-Probe
M558 P5 H5 F500 T4000 X0 Y0 Z1 ; Set Z probe type/mode 5. H=Dive Height. F=Speed the bed moves
G31 P9 X+41 Y+10 Z0.0 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
M557 X25:360 Y15:220 S20 ; define mesh bed level

Should be:

; Z-Probe
M950 S0 C"exp.heater3"
M558 P9 C"^zprobe.in" H5 F60 T6000 A10 R0.5
G31 P25 X+41 Y+10 Z0.0 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
M557 X25:360 Y15:220 S20 ; define mesh bed level

Then in your deploy and retract macros you need

; retractprobe.g
;
; Probe retraction routine for BLTouch-Smart on DBot
;
M280 P0 S90

; deployprobe.g
; 
; Probe deployment routine for BLTouch-Smart on DBot
;
M280 P0 S10		; Set servo position to deploy

And for your homeall you should place the probe in the center of the bed with something like this. You'll have to measure,

G1 X150 Y150 F6000 ; go to first bed probe point and home Z
G30 ; home Z by probing the bed

And take a look at this if you haven't.

G28
Error: G0/G1: insufficient axes homed

Got this error when trying to home z

Hotend moved a bit then bltouch pin deployed and it stopped. Red light went off and some noise maybe motor, not sure

JoergS5

@Elvis0z when you try to homez, the homez.g is called and executed, please publish it for check. For homing all axes, run homeall.g

@Elvis0z this is ok. And sorry, I misread, G28 calls homeall.g, my mistake, does not call homez

I'll recheck your config, whether I see something. You could try exchanging M558 and M950, M558 first for the zprobe definition.

You should check
G31 P25 X+41 Y+10 Z0.0
whether the Z is correct. Please check https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Test_and_calibrate_the_Z_probe#Section_Calibrate_the_Z_probe_trigger_height

Elvis0z

Swapped
M558 and M950
hotend goes to middle of the bed and deploys probe then probe swiches off I think

cheers for the help guys

JoergS5

@Elvis0z you should check G31 Z value also, please see my last post above.

In homeall I would move the hotend to the middle of the bed before probing Z, instead G1 X15 Y15 F6000 I would call
G1 X100 Y100 F6000
to be sure you don't probe outside of the bed one day and not triggering (when bed or endstop moved a bit eg).

Elvis0z

This was the last error

G28
Error: Z probe was not triggered during probing move
Error: Homing failed

JoergS5

@Elvis0z was your bltouch over the bed and was it deployed?

Elvis0z

@JoergS5 Yes

Elvis0z

M401
M402
Both these commands work

JoergS5

@Elvis0z did it have a bit of distance to the bed? There are some documentation to the installation. The Z height in reference to the nozzle is important.
The image right lower on page 1 in the https://locxess.de/3d/BLTouch_Anleitung_englisch.pdf
document, the 8mm.

Elvis0z

Yep it probes way above the bed.

JoergS5

@Elvis0z can you please republish config and homeall like it is now, so I can recheck?
