RRF3 -> Z-Probe was not triggered during probing move

Karma

@CR3D Ahh, that makes perfect sense now. Thank you for that answer.

I would live to get my hands on a Duet 3, but my wife would kick my rear end if I spent anymore money on my printer right now. The Duet 3 board has so many more options then any board I have every seen. It's truly a work of art.

@dc42

I even tested it now to always place at least one motor on the respective axis (i.e. a motor with the 3 z-axes on the mainboard and one of the two Y-axes on the expansion board) and map it correctly in the config. But this didn't work at all, not all axles drive clean here!

Why doesn't the Z-Probe work on the expansion board? That would be the easiest way ...?

@CR3D said in RRF3 -> Z-Probe was not triggered during probing move:

As soon as I plug in the z-probe here and adjust the config, the Z-probe disappears from the dashboard and with a probe command the error message appears that the Z-probe could not be found.

One of the listed limitations is that a Z probe connected to an expansion board must be type 8 or type 9. So change the P parameter in your M558 command from P5 to P8.

@dc42

Thank you... also my mistake... sorry

But now to my test result:

As usual, I connected all Z-motors to the expansion board and also the Z-probe to the expansion board.

now i have carried out another test.

First home home all axes and then G29.

And here unfortunately the same result again! The first probe point at the corner was fine... the second one causes following error
As already described above, this can only happen after several probe points!

please note as always the probe is triggered even though it causes the error!

So that was not the solution to the problem ... are there any other solutions?

@CR3D I’m a bit late to the game but I’m your very first post you showed two codes, one for RRF3 and the other for RR2. The probe heigh value in RRF 3 is 20mm and in RRF 2 it was only 7mm. That would explain why it is moving a greater distance. No?

CR3D

@baird1fa

no this was just for testing.

Now I am at 5mm Dive Height...

CR3D

@dc42 how can we go on?????

dc42

I'm trying to replicate this now.

dc42

I can see the problem. After a successful probing move, the Z motors are moving too far to get back up to the dive height, as if they had made the full Z movement and the move had not been stopped by the probe triggering. I think I know why this is happening, and unfortunately it's not an easy fix in firmware because in order to get accurate probing, additional CAN messages will have to be sent from the expansion board.

So in order to get you a solution quickly, I would like to revisit the problem you had originally when the Y and U axes were driven from the expansion board, as you described at https://forum.duet3d.com/post/162067, and solve that one. Please can you reconfigure your system with the Z motors and Z probe connected to the main board, and Y and U motors connected to the expansion board. Also connect the Y and U endstop switches to the expansion board. Then please test homing the U axis and post what happens. I suggest you start another thread do describe the results - I will be watching for it. When we have U axis homing working, then we'll work on Y axis homing.

CR3D

@dc42 Thank you!

Here is another picture of the second probe point after which the error message comes.

Here the dash shows that we are already at Z-3.6mm.

The nozzle is still in the air.

@Skimmy -> you saw it too ...

And here is a video:

https://youtu.be/DpLH1hMVg28

Please note in the video ... after homing (G28) the nozzle is at 6.4mm (5mm Dive Height + 1.4mm Z-Offset). thats alright. When I drive to Z0, the nozzle is exactly over the bed. It all fits!

With the G29 command, it moves to the first measuring point, everything works perfectly here (the dive height is 5mm). If he then goes to the second measuring point, the dive height is 10mm! Therefore, it then displays a negative Z-value (-3.6mm) in the error message (Z-Probe not triggered during probing move)

Note that the nozzle is still in the air and the sensor could not even trigger (since it is too far from the print bed)

CR3D

@dc42

Ok .. good that we finally found the bug!

Too bad it is not so easy to solve now ... Ok I will try to put everything back to the old SETUP and hope we can find a quick solution here ... thank you in advance
