Cannot get BL Touch to work!
-
Hi,
I have followed the guides on both Betrue and Duet and cannot get my BL Touch V3 to react to any commands.
My setup is as follows.
Black/white to z probe in and GND
Yellow to pin 8 (heater 3)
Red to pin 1
Brown to pin 2On machine startup, it executes the self test successfully, then red LED lights up and stays on.
I have tried sending all of the m280 commands to test, deploy and restract and nothing happens.
Here is my Config.

Thanks

Ignore that my Retract and Deploy versions dont match...they are all for 3.2.3 now.

@nedmo said in Cannot get BL Touch to work!:
M950 S0 C"exp.heater3" ; create servo pin 0 for BLTouch
Can you change the setup to exp.heater7?
Try that in the first step.
Wiring up the BL-Touch to exp.heater3 does make some trouble. I can't get why, but we had that several times here..... -
I have moved the Yellow wire to pin 31
and attempted to redo the config.; Configuration file for Duet WiFi (firmware version 3)

m307 h7
Heater 7 model: gain 340.0, time constant 140.0, dead time 5.5, max PWM 1.00, calibration voltage 0.0, mode PID, inverted no, frequency default

Computed PID parameters for load change: P13.4 -
Ok, i got heater 7 disabled now.
Still nothing happens if I send a M401 or M402. The notification is green though indicating that the command was sent successfully.

what firmware version are you on?
-
3.2 I think. I can check in the morning.

@nedmo said in Cannot get BL Touch to work!:
M307 H7 A-1 C-1 D-1 ; disable heater 7
Not used in RRF3.
Verify your firmware version with M115. Your config looks OK for RRF3, but obviously won't work if your installed firmware is actually 2.x

your config is not consistent your entire heater and thermistor config is rrf2

Hi all,
Ok yep, I thought I had upgraded to 3.0, but I was still on 2.5
Now upgraded to 3.2.2. Just ran a fresh config of the RRF3.2.3
And now i am getting my previous issues with H1 and H2 faulting and showing 2000c. Bed is working correctly.
But, good news is that i just ran a M401 and M402 and BLtouch deployed and retracted. So, now I will follow the betrue guide to try a homing operation
Here is my current config.
