Servo deployed probe on Duet Maestro
-
@Blacksheep99 said in Servo deployed probe on Duet Maestro:
it says probe is already deployed.
In your homing files you may want to add a M401 at the start to ensure that the probe is retracted and so that the firmware is aware it's retracted.
Then try again.

@Phaedrux said in Servo deployed probe on Duet Maestro:
what exactly do you have commented out?
;M557 X15:265 Y15:135 S20 ; define mesh grid -
Yes you should uncomment that line out. It tells the firmware where to probe when doing a G29.

Do you mean M402?

@Phaedrux Thanks. Will do

Yes, sorry. Retract the probe.

Thanks, shows I'm paying attention if just a bit! ha

So I've got the probe showing '0' when retracted. I position the probe over the bed and run G30. The probe immediately deploys and the bed starts moving towards the print heads.
Following this guide: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Test_and_calibrate_the_Z_probe
I press the Z probe up expecting the bed to stop but it continues leaving me to use emergency stop to kill things. What have I got wrong?

please share your current probe config and refresh me on your wiring.

The probe is wired as per this.

I tried it but when i then test G30 it fails immediately and tells me the probe is already triggered. Is this in relation to the G31 P500?
-
As I'm not familiar with this probe we might have to wait for Veti to weigh in as I'm not sure why it would be always detecting as triggered or never detecting as triggered.
-
@Phaedrux Can I just ask clarification on two things. H for Dive height. I have this set to 150 which is the height of the build volume. My reasoning is that the Z needs to raise 150 to meet the print heads but should stop when it triggers the probe?
Trigger height, is this the height of the probe above the nozzles when contact is made?
Thanks for helping, i really appreciate it
FYI. Retracted is 1000 (red box), deployed is 0 (grey background)
-
That's pretty excessive for dive height. As I mentioned before, the dive height should be just slightly more than your trigger height. So if your probe triggers when the nozzle is 3mm above the bed G31 Z3), you'd want you dive height to be at least 4mm for example (M558 H4).

I'm not familiar enough with the probe to say if that is normal or not. I would have guessed that it should stay as untriggered regardless of deploy or retract status and only shown triggered when actually pushed up to break the optical beam.

That logic makes sense. The way it looks to operate is that when retracted it is breaking the end stop beam (essentially triggered) but one deployed it is not and hence the state changes. One the probe is touched it causes the flag to break the beam and state changes to triggered.
-
When I home X,Y,Z are all 0,0,0 on the dashboard. Setting a low dive height only moves the bed up that height when I run G30. I should be aiming for the tip of the nozzles to be 0 for Z surely? Would this explain the issue?
-
The triggered status really only matters when doing the G30. So perhaps your probe isn't getting deployed early enough? When exactly are you getting the probe is triggered at start of probing move error?
What do you have in your homeall now? Remember that you are in control of the deploy and retract state now, which is a bit different than the BLTouch which automates that.
For homing and dive height you can also in control of how the print head is positioned before probing. If you need to raise the Z axis a bit to ensure that the probe has room you can do that in your homeall. It's already common to raise it a bit for clearance for X Y to home. Normally you'd only want to raise it just slightly more than the dive height to ensure there is clearance for the pin to drop.
-
look at the homeall script i posted
you need to run a M401 before the G30 and run a M402 afterwards.

the probe is always triggerd in the retracted state. this is a good thing because if you forget to deploy or there is a problem it does not cause damage as it is triggered immediately
