        yeah just makes heater 7 and heater 6 available from the ide / ribbon pin connector

        https://www.duet3d.com/Expansion_Breakout

        And you verified the connector you are using is the heater 7 connection?

        I wasn't able to determine which connector did what.

          used multimeter to prove continuity between the pins on idc ribbon cable and heater pwm pins

            I think it may behave like the Duex pwm pin and just needs to be inverted in RRF3.

            So if you still want to use the expansion breakout board, try inverting the servo pin command by adding an exclamation point like this

            ; Z-Probe
            M950 S0 C"!exp.heater7"                         ; create servo pin 0 for BLTouch

              @Phaedrux didn't have dupont connector hence why was using breakout board only on old firmware used H7 not exp.heater7 which is what 3.1.1 set it as M950 S0 C"exp.heater7"

                If the exclamation point to invert doesn't work, might need to change the pin name

                M950 S0 C"duex.pwm5" also might need to be inverted, but I'm not sure. I've never seen anyone use the breakout board for the BLtouch, so until I get some confirmation we'll just have to experiment.

                  seems inverting pin may have worked deploy macros now working

                    OK then I think at this point you may just want to try the various other names.

                    exp.heater3, exp.8, !duex.e2heat, !duex.pwm1
                    exp.heater4, exp.13, !duex.e3heat, !duex.pwm2
                    exp.heater5, exp.18, !duex.e4heat, !duex.pwm3
                    exp.heater6, exp.23, !duex.e5heat, !duex.pwm4
                    exp.heater7, exp.31, !duex.e6heat, !duex.pwm5

                    I have the Duex5 board and this is my command M950 S0 C"duex.pwm5"

                      That's good.

                        any advice on how to reduce how close nozzle is to bed currently

                        G31 P25 X46.5 Y0 Z3.6

                        do I change the 3.6mm height?

                          Follow these steps to measure the trigger height

                          https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Test_and_calibrate_the_Z_probe#Section_Calibrate_the_Z_probe_trigger_height

                          Then afterwards when testing your first layer use the baby stepping function to adjust. Then take the amount of baby stepping used and modify the G31 Z value.

                          A larger G31 Z value moves the nozzle and bed closer together. If it's too close, make G31 Z smaller.

                            so reduce the 3.6 to like 3.4?

                              bedlevel_nozzle_0.4_200x200-0.3-0.8.stl

                              I'd suggest printing a test pattern like this and adjusting the baby stepping to find out exactly how much to change it.

                              But yeah, 0.2 sounds like a reasonable amount to start with.
