      ll the other command that use the bltouch too... (G32 ecc) : The Hotend moves on X , Y and Z correctly but the probe doesn't deploy itself and will maybe crush on the bed.

      according to this
      https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Duet_3_Mainboard_6HC_Hardware_Overview
      only 45 7 are pwm capable.

      also the config tool only lets you select 4,5 or 7 and not 2

        Here's an example using io3

          Thank you for your answers.
          I have read the guides that you write me last evening,I had already set (IO_3) but as it doesn't work,I change on IO_2 for a test.

          Today i have done other tests,check another time the wires,the connections and replace the BLTOUCH with a new one.

          To have a comparison,I have check the config files that i use successfully on my Duet3 6HC and i don't undestand where the mistake could be

          The problem is still there...

          Thanks

              Where is that mentioned?

              The docs for the Duet 3 Mini 5 say this only:

              5 Pin KK connectors: IO_0 through IO_4 these are for endstop switches, Z probes, filament monitors and other low-voltage I/O functions. Each connector provides both 3.3V and 5V power. The inputs will tolerate up to 30V. The outputs are 3.3V signals levels with 470R series resistors.

                    If you followed the guides I posted to use io3 and the config I posted it should work.

                    Please post a photo of your wiring and post your current config files.

                    What specifically doesn't work?

                      Thanks.

                      @Phaedrux - perhaps that information regarding pwm should be included in the section I mentioned.

                        @fcwilt I've added a note that io_1,2,3 are PWM capable.

                          Grand. It can be a little confusing where different bits of information are here and there.

                          Thanks.

                            Using a pullup doesn't seem to make a difference on my setup. So don't worry about changing it.

                              My connection is the same as that in your guide of Ender3.Tomorrow i try to do a new complete wires connection from board to Bltouch.

                              The config file and Homing file are the same of the first post i write.Now the only difference is the IO_3.

                              The problems are the same of the first post.

                              Thanks.

                                    From your configuration file:

                                    ; Endstops
                                    M574 Z1 S2					   ; configure Z-probe endstop for low end on Z
                                                                           
                                    ; Z-Probe BLtouch
                                    G30 S-2
                                    

                                    dc42 has confirmed that M574 Z1 S2 is not correct.

                                    See if M574 Z0 makes any difference. I don't think it will but it cannot hurt.

                                    The G30 S-2 should not be there. You are trying to probe the bed during the "configuration phase". It may be ignored but remove it just the same.

                                    You have the deployprobe.g and retractprobe.g files with the appropriate M280 command in each?

                                      Hi friends, I solve the problem finally ...

                                      I made the changes you told me and finished my homing and config files.
                                      Unfortunately, even so and with a whole new wiring for the BLTOUCH...Not working yet...

                                      Then I got an idea, but I wasn't sure it will work: I bought a new SD card, I copied the config files directly from "Original" SD. and WOOOOW all works magically at the first test!!!

                                      How is it possible ???

                                      Now I'm really happy!!
                                      Thank you for yours suggestions which have been a great help to improve my knowledge and my configurations files.

                                      Thanks so much to everyone!!!

                                        I have no idea why using a new SD card would fix it.

                                          @karbo90x Hello! Im having the same issue.

                                          How exactly and what did you copy to the new SD?
                                          I tried to copy the SYS folder over to a blank and it didnt work. also I tried to copy all files over and its not even getting to DWC now. Any help would be nice.

                                            @adalton5683 probably best to start a new thread with details of your full issue.
