Does M401 and M402 work?
Does M280 P0 S10 or M280 P0 S90 work?
What do you have in your deploy and retract macros?
Are those deploy and retract macros located in your /sys/ folder?

Mobietec

@phaedrux no im trying a clean install see if that helps

yes

99.9% of the time it's wiring.

@phaedrux i fully understand that i have checked and rechecked im using duet 3

bl conected to io3

5volt to 5volt in bl
io out to sig
both grounds from bl to gnd
and out(z) to io3 in

rom socket to bl no broken conections and correct readings ie cable conected ok

hope this helps

Are you using io3 or io4?

Mobietec

@phaedrux io3

If you are connected to io3.... and your config is using io4....

Mobietec

@phaedrux i changed it just in case that was a problem port made no diffreance im pulling my hair out i have tested both bl in a marlin boards and work as they should just will not work in here

i have also reflashed board to 3.2 no luck i was on 3.3 so im going to put that back on

Phaedrux

Ok, so your config is using io3 now as well?

when you tested on the marlin boards did you use the same cable harness?

Can you show a photo of your BLtouch connection at the duet board io3 connection?

Mobietec

@phaedrux yes same harness i have to change pins over so 5v n sig were correct

@mobietec Yellow pin crimp looks like it's up, not in the crimp shell properly. May not be making contact. Better to use the supplied Duet crimps and housings, rather than ~~Molex~~ Dupont connectors.

@droftarts i can promice you its making good contection the dupont socket is just temp and i did push it down fully after pic and check it still not working i do have another bl with duet socket still same problem

droftarts

@mobietec Sorry, should have remembered this before; see https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_a_Z_probe#Section_Duet_Num_3

Connect the BLTouch to IO_7 ... It's also possible to use IO_4 or IO_5 instead of IO_7.

(Edit: I've updated the text on the wiki to make it clearer.)

You can't use IO_3!

Only IO_4, IO_5 and IO_7 are PWM capable, so able to control a servo (like the BLTouch). See table here for IO pin capability: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Duet_3_Mainboard_6HC_Hardware_Overview#Section_IO.
Use one of IO_4, IO_5 or IO_7 instead. So, with the BLTouch connected to IO_4, your config.g should be (which is what you had earlier):

; Z-Probe
M950 S0 C"io4.out" ; create servo pin 0 for BLTouch
M558 P9 C"io4.in" H5 F120 T6000 ; set Z probe type to bltouch and the dive height + speeds

Also, this line is incorrect, and may be interfering:

 M574 Z2 S2 C"io4.in" ; configure Z-probe endstop for low end on Z

Are you wanting to use the endstop on the high end (as in where Z value is 'high', with the bed furthest from nozzle, so bed at the bottom of travel)? That's what 'Z2' means. Though 'S2' means probe not endstop, and the 'C' parameter is wrong (should be P). To set it up correctly, see https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M574_RepRapFirmware_Num_3. For now, change it to:

M574 Z0 ; No Z endstop

Make these changes, test and post your config.g.

yipeee got the bl working

now got to work on bedsize and bed mesh because it probs outside
of bed aeira

Oof! that was on the tip of my brain yesterday.

Mobietec

@phaedrux yep duet well my board only bl on duet 3 io7 will not work on any others strange
i can now prob bed do a mesh level etc

now for next problem

need to figer out how to dule z level
