BLTouch will not deploy
-
It's entirely possible I am missing something really basic here and if so, I apologize. I have a Duet2 wifi running my CR-10V2 and its working well so when I built an SK-Go corexy this week I chose the same board. I'm in the initial testing and I can't seem to get the BLTouch working at all. It goes through self test on power up...but doesn't respond to the M280 P0 S10 at all. First thought was wiring or a bad BLTouch so I pulled out my new spare with its stock wiring and hooked them up at the board...with the same issue. Ok, then it's my configuration...but I can't find the issue. I have the CR10's config on half the screen and the SKgo on the other half and it looks right.....but clearly I am missing something. Having read in here for a while I know the bigger brains are going to ask for config.g so I'll post it below. Any help you can be would be greatly appreciated....I feel like I've missed something obvious during the build. Firmware version is 3.1.1

Config looks ok.
You can remove this
M307 H3 A-1 C-1 D-1as it's not used in RRF3 anymore.Can you send M98 P"config.g" to check for any syntax errors?
Send M122 to confirm you're running 3.1.1Double check that the files you're editing are in the system folder and not somewhere else. (it happens)
IF it's not responding to the servo commands then it's possible there's a bad connection on the wire to the exp.heater3 pin. Check continuity. Recrimp.
You can also try exp.heater7 pin are an alternative.

@Phaedrux I greatly appreciate your help. I was an electronics tech in a former life (a long time ago) so this stuff is usually fun but this one has me stumped. I'm sure I have missed something stupid but damned if I can find it...and I've spent all day on it. Posting the M98 and M122 below.
My first thought was a wiring issue as they are common with the BLTouch extensions, even new stuff. So I pulled the new extension wire and wired a new (backup) BLTouch to the board using the stock wiring it came with. It acting the same way lowers the chance of a wiring issue (unless I am the wiring issue of course...as you say, it happens). Posting a pic of that as well because two sets of eyes are always better than one. White wire to zprobe in, black to ground same connector, pulled the orange out of the stock connector and dropped it on pin 1, brown pin 2, yellow pin 8. If you don't spot something obvious, I'll try heater7 tomorrow. This is a new board though, have you seen a bad pin before? It's electronics so anything can happen I guess. Again, I do appreciate the help.

What version of BLTouch is it?
Trying heater 7 is worth a shot.
-
@Phaedrux Oh my gawd...look at the connector in the pic. It's a three position connector. 2, 4, 6.....Dammit.
Have not fixed it yet, just saw it......but we both know....
-
@Phaedrux Yeah, that was the problem. I'm not even going to tell you how many times I checked that and counted the pins....
I'm going to credit you with this one...as you pointed me at the proper pin. Thanks again. Cheers.

Glad you figured it out. Simple mistake. Easy fix.
