Duet3 6HC not deploying BL touch for mesh bed leveling
-
@Phaedrux can do! I removed the extra microstep values. After initial configuration I had to remap a few things. The configuration tool doesnt account for 2 Z motors or Y motors so in the tool I just made them extra drivers so I could get all my drivers accounted for. Then after the config.g was generated I went in and manually mapped them. It was an oversight on my part not to delete the extra M350 values.
So the reason I have no tool 0 or tool 3 yet is those tools havent been picked out yet by me team. I was thinking a sharpie to mark important locations (tool 0) and the fly cutter thing from E3D for tool 3.

The expansion bird firmware is out of step with the mainboard. Send M997 B1 to flash the expansion. Make sure you have all the files from the 3.2.2 release in the system folder first. If in doubt just upload the full zip file again from the 3.2.2 release. That might actually get it to update on its own.

Ok now that those things were changed what happens when you send M98 P"config.g"? Still getting any errors?
Just to confirm, bltouch and z motors are both on the mainboard right?
-
after the update I updated the config file with a new fan definition (I accidentally had too many assigned to each tool) and restarted the board. I retried G29 and let it play out. it did not deploy the probe, but this time it stopped at a z height of 0.50 and just gave me an error message instead of crashing. I consider this progress lol
-
Good news: M98 P"config.g" now only returns a blue message about HTTP, FTP, and TELNET. no errors. confirmed. the only drivers being used on the expansion are D0 for extruder 0 and D1 for extruder 1. The BL touch is on io.7 on the mainboard
-
What was the error? Your screen shot didn't upload.
-
Only other suggestion I have at this point is to try using io_5 instead of 7.
-
G29Error: Z probe was not triggered during probing move

;deselect tools T-1
Do you happen to have anything in your tool change files?
-
So I just switched it from io.7 to io.5 and edited my config to match

Bad news: G29 still doesn't deploy the probe -
Is there something about the position of the first probe point for G29 that is causing stress on the servo wiring and making a poor intermittent connection?
Can you try manually placing the print head at the same place it would be when doing G29 and then sending a manual G30? Does it work there?

@Phaedrux I do, the FDM Heads are set up in Tpre1, Tpre2 and the corresponding post and free files to make everything dock correctly.

Can you create an empty file called heightmap.csv?
-
yes, I just dropped it in /sys
-
G30 does not deploy the probe either. the bed just moves up without the probe shooting down first

So what happened since you posted this:
Good news: it still works a z endstop. the probe deploys and retracts at the appropriate times.
Bad news: G29 still doesn't deploy the probeFrederick

You mean at the same location as the G29 would use?
If so, sounds like intermittent connection.
-
we've come full circle.
the situation as it sits now:
The BL Touch functions correctly after a machine reset. Issuing a G28 Z command sends the BL Touch to the correct spot and the probe deploys, reads, and then retracts. After that the probe becomes completely non responsive.
M401, M402 say green in the console but no action actually happens in real life.
After the first time XYZ, and C are homed the BL Touch wont respond to anything, including M280 S0 macros.
This is leading me to believe that the Duet is not recognizing that servo number as a Z probe, since the location data is still being used but the actual probe is being ignored. i.e my mesh area is 100:400 in both X and Y and my probe offset is X-63 Y-61. When G29 is called, the toolhead moves to X161 Y161 and attempts to probe.
