      do I need to remove the M307 here? that's the only thing I saw somewhere in the docs but I'm not sure.

        @Eman74 said in Bltouch blinking red on Duet wifi+ Duex5 RRF 3:

        Yes. It’s defining H7, which is shared with PWM5, after the probe is defined, so overriding it. You haven’t posted your whole config.g, so difficult to know you were using config_override.g. Was it like this in RRF 2.x as well?

        You haven’t answered my earlier questions. You have a clone Duex. You have non standard wiring colours, and don’t show the BLTouch itself to know what is wired where. All this makes it difficult to help you. I’m not omniscient and omnipresent!

          All original only duex5 I think is not (I don't recall if I bought the original one it was long ago, the rest is all original 100%), the original cable provided was too short, I just replaced it.

          regarding the M401 when I launch it the BLTouch starts to blink.

          when nothing is wired I can see a red 1000 on z-probe, when all is wired the value is 0.

          I changed the config so many times that my SD cards started to fail, I just replaced it with a 32Gb one.

          I removed the M307 from the override file on the H7 but keeps doing it, I'll proceed disabling all M307 and give it a try.

          My wiring it's still not perfect, and it's my first ever build... but here's the picture (I tried to hide the flat cable which cover the rest):

              @Eman74 said in Bltouch blinking red on Duet wifi+ Duex5 RRF 3:

              M950 S0 C"!exp.heater7" ; servo/gpio 1 is Z probe MOD pin ;M950 S0 C"duex.pwm5" ; create servo/gpio 0 on pwm5 on Duex5

              As you have connected the BLTouch servo input to the DueX PWM output, the second M950 command is the correct one.

                @dc42 I just retried it but it doesn't work, it doesn't even try to blink when I launch the M401.

                It's so frustrating, my other duet wifi on the cartesian works sweetly.

                can I try using some PWM on the duet wifi to make the bltouch work? (just thinking to use the duex5 only for motors and 12v fans up until I'll buy an original one)

                  @Eman74 Apologies, thinking about it I was wrong about M307 in config_override.g. It shouldn’t matter as M950 sets the pin in config.g. It would cause problems in RRF 2.x.

                  I’ll ask once more: does the probe deploy and retract on power up? If it doesn’t, disconnect all wiring except +5V and GND, and work out why it doesn’t.

                  Somewhere between the BLTouch and the Duex, the wiring changes, and I can’t see where (on mobile). I suspect either a short between wires, or a swapped wire.

                  Edit: unfortunately there are no other PWM pins in the board apart from those on the expansion connector.

                    @droftarts my english is probably not good enough, that's also on mr, unfortunately no matter what config I used till now at the startup nothing happens, sometimes I so the bltouch starting blinking (as if the deploy test was failing).

                    With a tester I made sure all signals were proper directly from the BlTouch connection up to the other end, so no swapped wires. On top of that I can tell you that wires on the probe (Black correspond to black on the BLTouch and Green correspond to white on the BLTouch) and on the servo (Blue is Brown, Red is Red and yellow is green on the BLTouch)

                    I quitted buying non original things long time ago I'm starting to suspect all this mess is cause of the F.... duex clone... anyway I'll redo all pin crimping, just in case.

                    I tried using only 5V and GND with and without Z Probe with all available M950 (just in case... with no luck)

                    Now I'm not the kind of person which leave things unresolved so I started looking around the DUEX (cause I felt the problem was there...). Now I don't know if this happens also on the original DUEX but the clone do not provide power to the PWM...
                    ...wait for it...
                    ...rolling the drums....
                    unless you remember to put the jumper on the 5V AUX Jumper select...

                    so.. now it works perfectly with the proper config:

                    M950 S0 C"duex.pwm5" 			                ; create servo/gpio 0 on pwm5 on Duex5
                    M558 P9 C"^zprobe.in" H5 F120 T6000             ; BLTouch connected to Z probe IN pin, free up MOD pin      
                    

                    IT WORKSSSS!!!!

                    Thank you all for the help, Grazie, Merci.

                      @Eman74 glad you worked it out! My next suggestion was to remove the Duex and try it directly on the Duet pins. That should have narrowed it down to wiring or the Duex.

                        @droftarts Thank you very much Ian, at the moment I can finally see the bltouch running a full self test at printer startup which is a huge improvement finally.

                        When I send M401 the pin is deployed and when I send M402 the pin is retracted but when I try to home as soon as the pin retracts the bltouch starts blinking and the bed keep rising towards my hotend (trying triggering manually the bltouch to avoid the hotend digging in my bed)

                        here is my homez.g:

                        ; homez.g
                        ; called to home the Z axis
                        ;
                        ; generated by RepRapFirmware Configuration Tool v3.2.3 on Sat Mar 20 2021 18:21:46 GMT+0100 (Central European Standard Time)
                        ; called to home the Z axis
                        
                        G91                ; relative positioning
                        G1 H2 Z5 F6000     ; lift Z relative to current position
                        G90                ; absolute positioning
                        G1 X200 Y210 F6000 ; Probe Z on the center of the bed
                        G30                ; home Z by probing the bed
                        
                        ; Uncomment the following lines to lift Z after probing
                        ;G91               ; relative positioning
                        ;G1 Z5 F100        ; lift Z relative to current position
                        ;G90               ; absolute positioning
                        

                        I completely deleted the config-override and my config.g for z is:

                        ; BLTouch
                        M950 S0 C"duex.pwm5" 			                ; create servo/gpio 0 on pwm5 on Duex5
                        M558 P9 C"^zprobe.in" H5 F120 T6000             ; BLTouch connected to Z probe IN pin, free up MOD pin           
                        G31 P25 X28 Y-61 Z0.0    		                    ; BLTouch set offset
                        M557 X50:350 Y50:350 S50                        ; define mesh grid
                        

                        is there any additional option I can use to improve probing... like adding something on the zprobe.in or similar? Any idea of what can it be? (I'll keep looking for all possible solutions in the meantime)

                          The homez looks fine.
                          Please post the homeall.g (In the older ones there was a call for deployprobe.g witch should be replaced )

                              Seems to be right.
                              Does the Bltouch perform the selftest at the power up?

                                @DIY-O-Sphere yes it does, I also looked at other troubleshooting and bypassed all cabling connecting the bltouch directly with short cables and the behaviour is the same:

                                1. Performs well the initial self test
                                2. Performs well the M401 (fixed blue light)
                                3. performs well the M402 (fixed red light)

                                but when I try to home or to manually trigger the bltouch start to blink red

                                all this test were done with two original BLTouch v3.1 one of them was connected to an already perfectly working cartesian printer

                                  Can you confirm that the white wire from the BLtouch is extended all the way to the zprobe.in pin?

                                    @Phaedrux yes if you look at posted pictures the white cable is connected to the duet wifi probe connector as green cable. Basically the white is on the GND and the black is on the probe.
                                    Should I invert them?

                                      @Eman74 said in Bltouch blinking red on Duet wifi+ Duex5 RRF 3:

                                      Should I invert them?

                                      No, the white wire should be connected to the Zprobe in pin.

                                      You can try removing the ^ from C"^zprobe.in"

                                        @Phaedrux too late... I inverted them and (believe me I don't know why cause white is connected to the green) but finally it does home!!!!

                                        it works... I'd like to thank you and this fantastic community of very kind and helpful 3D printing lovers and professionals

                                          Then I suspect there is a crossed wire somewhere.
