Bl touch issues not homing z with bl touch .
-
good day i am using a duet 2 wifi with a bl touch , trying to get the bl touch to work correctly . wired as in the picture , new v 3 bl touch jsut bought it a few months ago . i was reading the 3.3v cut was not needed . when i try to home it homes all but doesn't use the touch . i pushed my z home down a little to see if it would use the bl touch . but it doesn't use it . when powers on the bl touch extracts then retracts . solid red light after . here is config and pic of how wired . what am i doing wrong ? i tried to use the configurator for all the settings and

How are you homing , homing_z and homing_all ?
You have to use G30 and not G1 H1 Z and have you set up retractprobe.g and deployprobe.g .. ALSO I could not get heater3 to work so I moved to heater 7 and it worked first time.

@morf33 said in Bl touch issues not homing z with bl touch .:
M574 Z1 S0 P"zstop" ; configure active-low endstop for low end on Z via pin zstop
Your Z homing is configured to use an endstop, not the probe, and more than likely your homing files will be looking for an endstop too. Also, for all endstops, 'S0' (which usually inverts a microswitch) is not supported in RRF3. If you are using microswitches, it should be S1. If you need to invert them, use P"![endstop_name]". See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M574_RepRapFirmware_Num_3
Change the above line to:
M574 Z0 ; configure Z-probe endstop on Z(You don't use M574 Z1 S2 because S2 is only used when homing an axis other than Z.)
Post your homing file, which will need to use G30 rather than something like G1 H1 Z-300. Also send M115 to check firmware version, and post reply.For testing BLTouch, see https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_a_Z_probe#Section_Commissioning_Testing_RepRapFirmware_Num_3

@peter247 said in Bl touch issues not homing z with bl touch .:
and for Z probe end stop I have , M574 Z1 S2
See my reply above. Use
M574 Z0, or leave out the line entirely, as it's not needed. The Z axis allow you to have an endstop (eg max endstop, useful if you want to rehome after a mid-print power loss) as well as homing with a probe. If you added the endstop, you would need to define M574. So if you're using the probe to set Z at axis minimum, it effectively ignores any M574 setting for Z.Ian

ok i did a few things and seem to get a little further . now when i do auto homing x and y does fine . when it starts to so z - the y moves to center as it should then x moves all the way to the right until i have to unplug it .

ok i think i got it , but my bed is 220mm and when it starts to probe z its off the bed how do i center the bed and get the mesh points right ?
x and y do fine but z is not at the right points -
@morf33 o.k the bits you need to set are :
; Z-Probe
G31 P500 X-45 Y0 Z3 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
M557 X55:295 Y55:295 S60 ; define mesh gridThis is for my 350x350 bed , and the offset it from the nozzle to the probe .
So my probe is level to the nozzle in the Y axis , and the probe is 45mm to the left which is a minus eg <--- is a minus >------ is a plus on the X axis .
and 3mm from the probe touch to the bed !!!The M557 , x min , x max , so for me 55mm and 350 - 55mm ( 295 ) and the same for Y, the S60 is Steps of 60mm.
SO If the probe is 22mm right of the nozzle that is G31 X22 , and in front of the fan 50mm from the nozzle that makes in -50mm , so G31 x22 y-50
If I want to home in the centre off the bed I need to add the offsets in my case.
eg 350 / 2 + 45 , now the probe is in the centre not the nozzle. ( Homing files ) -
@morf33 said in Bl touch issues not homing z with bl touch .:
G92 Z0 ; set Z position to axis minimum (you may want to adjust this)
Remove that part from your homeall.
It also looks like you are running firmware 3.1. There was a bug fix update 3.1.1 that you should be using.

wow ok this is back to yesterdays issue . bl touch works now but when homing z , x and y do fine and z goes all the way to the right . upgraded the firmware see below for homeall ,config and firmware version

now the z wont go down and then the bltouch proble extends then it retracts after a min and gives this error .
G28
Error: Z probe was not triggered during probing move -
G92 Z0 ; set Z position to axis minimum (you may want to adjust this)
Try to remove that line in homeall.g and in homez.g
That sets Z to 0 and the firmware will not drive Z outside of the limits.
The line only makes sense if you use a Z-endstop for homing, maybe it's a left over from an older setup.Edit:
G1 X15.5 Y35 F4000 ; Move probe to middle of bed
Also adjust x and y values. That is not the middle of the bed.... -
all is good now , thank you all for the assistance
