Cetus Mk11 to Duet wifi 2. Pay $$ for Config file

I was not sure of what type a Cetus printer actually is.
it uses a cartesian coordinate system, but you'd probably call it a cantilevered bed slinger or something like that .. but cartesian is the important bit - and thats the default for reprap firmware.
to make it a right hand coordinate system you'll assign the motors to xyz and configure endstops so it matches https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-hand_rule#Coordinates

How did you configure your probe? M558 and G31 lines from your config.g
If your probe is what I think it is, it's probe type 5 or 8. With
M119
you can see whether it's triggered or not (or by seeing the z probe value in the web interface, should be 0 when not triggered and 1000 when triggered), and you can test by triggering it with your finger or a hard and flat item to avoid running your nozzle into the bed.If it shows as triggered when not touched and vice versa, try inverting the pin adding a
!
in front of the pin designation in RRF 3 or addingI1
when using RRF 2 in the M558 command (or removing them when they're there).The triggered height in G31 is the height of the nozzle when the probe triggers. With your probe this is likely close to zero.
EDIT: You may need to enable a pullup resistor for your probe. In RRF 3, you do this by adding a '^' in front of the pin name.
See See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_a_Z_probe for a complete write-up.

@bearer Thank you for the info. Couldn't figure which type it was.

@oliof
Btw, I get no response from the z probe with M119. But you probably knew that from the settings. -

M558 P0
P0 means manual probing where it prompts you to jog the z axis down to touch the bed.
What kind of probe is actually installed?
-
I have tried almost all the settings so the Po setting was one in desperation. It is a membrane type switch with a small pcb. (cheap) ebay precision bed leveling switch.
Kossel Delta, see above for full title.
That's when I shot up the flare! -
Do you have a link to the probe? How is it connected? P5 would be usable for a simple switch.

thanks -
Ok, how do you have it wired up? Looks like you'll need 5v, ground, and an input pin.
Where you get the 5v and ground from isn't as important, but the input pin needs to be named in your M558 command.

I have changed the M558 command;
M558 P5 I1 C"zprobe.in" H5 F300 T6000The Dashboard shows the z probe but it is active
low? Goes to "0" from 1000 when triggered.
I have tried to invert but unsuccessful.
Would this be symptomatic of a need for the ^ pull up resistor setting.? If so where exactly would I insert that?Thanks in advance

the i1 is rrf2.
in rrf3 you invert the signal with !so
M558 P5 C"!zprobe.in" H5 F300 T6000
also you can try P8, as its a bit faster

that is for end stops, not for z probes i think (unless it also shows zprobe)
-
@bearer
M119 does show zprobe status if you configured the endstop as zprobe -
So the question becomes how is OPs
M574
line for Z?should it be
M574 Z1 S2
to work as he expects withM119
?edit: no, i think the mk3 does have a z-endstop, so
S2
is probably not what OP wants. -
M119 will report zprobe status regardless if it's an endstop based zprobe.

I have it wired as you have stated. This is the current M558 command
M558 P5 I1 C"zprobe.in" H5 F300 T6000Change this to
M558 P5 C"!zprobe.in" H5 F300 T6000
and check again. -

Many thanks to Phaedrux, bearer, veti and oliof. The new setting worked and now I can do a G29 and level bed probing.
Onward and forward to bigger and (better?) challenges.I hope all of you Have a Very Happy New Year.
and I also hope I can tap your Brains again! -
Happy New Year, @Rodsterman! This is a much better outcome than a perfectly usable machine in the trash (-:
