What do I plug in to get xyz probe working?
-
@chrishornby I would not do that. You talked only to me and opened the thread yesterday. There are CNC specialists out there who may be on their weekend trip and answer you all your questions on monday
Hope you get your open answers. See you!M585 parameters are explained here:
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M585_Probe_Tool
E0 => not supported in RRF3
L0 => not supported in RRF3
S1 => S=1 means go backwards (towards the axis minimum) -
@JoergS5 Sorry if I sound frustrated, but I have been doing 3d printers for many years, built a few and got lots of experience with Marlin and smoothie. This is my first experience with CNC and Reprap coding and it is doing my head in. Apologies all round.
-
@chrishornby CNC is very complex, you've only just begun! Reprap is complicated because the transition from RRF2 to RRF3 and some changed G-Code and their parameters. I am sure you'll manage it when you think a bit about it.
-
Yes I am sure I will, Thank you so much for all your help. I have decided that I will do my own macro from scratch rather than take the quickie (not!) route by shoe horning someone else's code into the mix.
Thanks so much ! -

that's a very good decision! So you understand what your macro does to the detail. Good luck!
I like Duet especially because it is possible to test G-Code commands on the fly by putting it in the DWC field and see the result.
-
DWC Field?? (I struggle with acronyms)
Is that the field in the UI where you can send a G code? -
@chrishornby yes, DWC is the browser program, Duet Web Control.

Thanks!!

I'm having a similar issue. I got a Duet2 up and running on my old machine. And a Duet3 on my new machine and I want to run a similar set up. But I can't for my life get the xyz probe to work. Did you find the answer?
Best regards

RickardPlease start a new thread, post your config.g file, and tell us what probe type you are using.

@dc42 I decided to use G38.2 and it was straight forward.

@chrishornby I have the Duet3d board and purchased the xyz touch probe you show in your picture. What terminal on the Duet does this plug into?
-
I purchased the xyz touch probe directly from Ooznest and would someone to send a picture of where to plug this in on the Duet board

@onescentpro This one?

Based on this: https://docs.openbuilds.com/doku.php?id=docs:xyzprobe:wiringgeneric
You've got 5v, signal, and ground to connect.
It would help to know what Duet board you actually have and what firmware version you're using, otherwise it's hard to be specific.
