Need Probe Setup Help

[1d1]

I have a switch type probe that I am trying to set up. Totally confused about the nomenclature. So, here is M115:FIRMWARE_NAME: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet FIRMWARE_VERSION: 3.1.1 ELECTRONICS: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later FIRMWARE_DATE: 2020-05-19b2
Current probe settings with the switch installed on E0 and the probe registering when pushed with board LED on/then going off:
; Z-Probe
M558 P8 C"!io0.in" H5 F300 T6000 R0.4           ; set Z probe type to switch and the dive height + speeds
G31 P500 X0 Y0 Z20.6                            ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
M557 R52 S20                                   ; define mesh grid
 
Once this is correct, I can move on to 2 other issues to complete my installation. It's been a tough slog so far.

If it is a simple switch, you should be using P5.

What issues are you having?

[1d1]

I was using P8 for an unfiltered response. When I employ the probe command, it stops above the bed and probes the air.

[jay_s_uk]

is it a delta? Try running G30 first to get the correct bed height

[1d1]

Yes, delta. G30, then M558?

[jay_s_uk]

No, making sure you have M501 at the end of your config, send the following commands
G30
G32
M500

[1d1]

OK. G30 gives me 2 error messages: G30
Error: G30: Z probe 0 not found
9/17/2020, 10:20:06 AM	G30
Error: G30: Insufficient axes homed for bed probing

[jay_s_uk]

Post your whole config as you seem to have an issue with your M558 setting

remove lines 1 to 42 from your config file. they shouldn't be there

[1d1]

Interesting. Those lines do not show in my config.g. I am copying the config.g by selecting all, copy, paste. When I do that those other lines appear but I don't see them otherwise. Weird.

If you send M558, what does it output?

[1d1]

M558
Error: M558: Z probe 0 not found

[jay_s_uk]

I've just realised why. You've used a duet 3 pin name with a duet 2.
Where do you have it connected?

[1d1]

At position E0 on the endstop connectors

[jay_s_uk]

change your command to

M558 P8 C"!e0stop" H5 F300 T6000 R0.4

[1d1]

@jay_s_uk said in Need Probe Setup Help:

M558 P8 C"!e0stop" H5 F300 T6000 R0.4

Done.

[1d1]

Before you ask:

m558
Z Probe 0: type 8, input pin !e0stop, output pin nil, dive height 5.0mm, probe speed 300mm/min, travel speed 6000mm/min, recovery time 0.44 sec, heaters normal, max taps 1, max diff 0.03

[jay_s_uk]

Run G30 and see if it probes.
I would make sure you've homed your machine using G28 and then tap the probe on the way down to make sure it stops

[1d1]

@jay_s_uk
"Probe already triggered"

Remove exclamation point from 558?
