Precision Piezo & Duet + DBOT
-
I seem to be having an issue with my sensor. The Piezo sensor is giving me a reading in the web console and it seems to be tuned to the touch.
I am running G32 to kick of the probing and when I do the probe, even though it is reading in the web console does not stop the bed. Just smashes into it and keeps going. I have tuned the sensor, getting readings but for the life of me cannot figure out why the probing is not working correctly.
Here is my config.g and bed.g. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi official support is via reprap forum thread but this is about setting up RRF, so let's do this here and I'll link to it.
; Z probe
M558 P1 F500 X0 Y0 Z0 ; Analog Z probe, also used for homing the Z axis
G31 X0 Y0 Z0 P20So you can use P1 (analogue) but you need to set Z1 if you want to use it as an endstop. Add I0 just to ensure it works as active high.
Add R0.2 to allow a short pause between probings.Eg. M558 P1 I0 R0.2 X0 Y0 Z1
Also in G31 you need P700 which is the threshold. You might lower this for improved sensitivity or increase it if you get false triggers when moving from one probe point to another.
Eg. G31 XO YO Z-0.1 P700
Don't go for head crashes, send G30 with the nozzle well above the bed and tap the nozzle upwards with a tool if it stops reliably 3 times then try it on the bed.
Once that's working adding a tiny z offset by entering z-0.1(0.1-0.3 typically) will ensure your nozzle to be gap is perfect. Measure the offset by doing G30, then manually jog up and back down till you grip a piece of paper, the z value shown is the offset.
I also get quite far using digital mode
M558 P5 I0 R0.2 X0 Y0 Z1
G31 X0 Y0 Z-0.1 P10In this mode it's on or off, P10 is debounce signal which definitely helps.

Thanks DJ for taking the time.
Immediately worked. Stops nicely.
Couple Questions.
The gap of Z-0.1 that pushes the bed higher up. Not sure I quite understand that?
Is G32 the correct code to use for the first run and should I run it from config on every start up or before every print?
Lastly, in my homez.g should I do multi-points or just one in the middle of the bed?

Update:
I tried G30 - Works like a charm.
I tried G32 - Didn't recognize.Going to investigate.

The gap - so if you had a sensor with a trigger point above the bed say inductive or IR you'd do the paper test and subtract the z height at trigger from the amount you jogged down and enter that as z+3 for example. This sensor effectively triggers below the bed, in that the assembly has to push the nozzle down into the bed to trigger. Its tiny so -0.1mm usually does it.
G30 is the right code for z home using a probe and I'd do it at bed centre. Then presuming its a cartesian /corexy I'd run mesh bed levelling G29. There's a good section on the wiki about setting that up.
Use a macro to lower acceleration to 100 on x and y, low on z depending on your z axis mechanism, with low jerk. Just whilst probing, thengo back to normal speed.

Major kudos for the help. I just ran my first mesh map. The sensor is working great… my bed is screwed from the mapping but damn. This is great.
Thank you!
