Mini 5 (with toolboard) and leveling using X2 Motors

i am running bed leveling on my mini 5 fine using an ir probe.

only difference i see is that i have the M671 after the M208, but that should not matter

so its only when G32 is requested that the probe is not being seen

could that be a problem with the wiring?
maybe at the probing position the wires are not making a good contact

if it was a wiring issue then when i home at the probe points that would fail too, its only when G32 is requested, the probes work fine on the toolboard too when requsted to home at those points which rule out the wiring.

As i said in my post about the heaters which turned out to be the firmware, im confident in my wiring

G30 P0 X50 Y170 Z-99999
G30 P1 X350 Y170 Z-99999 S2

can you issue those commands manually? whats the output in the console

i issued both manually

G30 P0 X50 Y170 Z-99999 completes fine (shows green in the console)
G30 P1 X350 Y170 Z-99999 S2 shows: Error: Z probe was not triggered during probing move

but i can physically see the probe operate and the Z axis react and the head lifts back up

Veti

and a g29 across the bed works?

JayJay

@Veti

yes it does.

I re-installed my Duet-2 all is working again with the same bed.g file.

i have compared my Duet-2 & mini-5 config's and i can see nothing wrong with the mini-5 config

Veti

@JayJay

neither can i. and the probing working sometimes is not something you can configure.

Thank for the help, i will just wait and see what any of the duet team have to say , this board was a christmas gift so i will ask my uncle where he bought it

Firmware version? Can you post the results of M122?

The Board is removed so the M122 will show some errors i think.

i installed the board (and toolboard) in my core-xy , which normally has a duet-3-6hc fitted and the mini-5 runs fine in there, so im not sure why it doesnt like being in my hacked up i3, and even stranger that my Duet-2 wifi runs fine when i put it back into the i3, both printers sit side by side so its not a location related issue.

i have been racking my brains with this one as it makes no sense at all.

the mini-5 runs fine in there, so im not sure why it doesnt like being in my hacked up i3

That is confusing. An intermittent short in something connected?

its the exact same wiring between the mini-5 and the Duet-2 and i thought about that and have been probing for shorts and found nothing

Some thoughts:

Is the tool board definitely running 3.2RC2 as well?
Try adding a settling delay parameter (R) to the M558 command, e.g. R0.2 or R0.5
You said the probe doesn't register as triggered, yet you don't get a head crash. That means either the dive height is too low to probe deep enough, or the probe trigger is being registered for the purpose of stopping the Z move but not for the purpose of recording the stop height. So try increasing the dive height - very carefully!

Well I finally fixed it....

My homeall.g had G30 S-3 in the script.

I removed that and changed it to single G30 command on its own and now it completes the G32 action with no errors, I dont know why it works fine on my Duet-2 with the S-3 switch in my homeall but the mini 5 doesnt like it

Perhaps your Duet 2 is running old firmware that doesn't support the S3 parameter?

The Duet-2 was/is on Release 3.2-RC1

And to confirm

Duet-2 WOULD complete the action with G30 S-3

Duet-3 Mini-5+ WOULD NOT complete the action G30 S-3

The Mini-5+ would only complete after i removed the S-3 switch
