      The errors I get are:
      G28 Error: in the macro line 15: G30 Z probe 0 not found

        Post your homing files. That seems to be where the problem is.

            RRF 2 I assume?

            Can you send M122 and post the results? Your config has a mix of RRF2 and RRF3 syntax. Which firmware version are you actually running?

              @pyper as @Phaedrux said, your probe config is for RRF 2, while the rest is for RRF 3. As it’s the probe that’s not working, I’m going to assume you are running RRF3.

              In your config.g, delete this line, it is incorrect, and using the probe for Z endstop is already defined a couple of lines earlier:

              M574 Z1 Z2 S2 ; Set endstops controlled by probe

              This line is also wrong for RRF3:

              M558 P5 I1 H5 F120 T6000 A10 R0.5 S0.005 B0 ; Set Z probe type to modulated and the dive height + speeds

              You need to define the pin the probe is connected to. You also have ‘I1’ set, which inverts the probe signal in RRF2, but not in RRF3. Try:

              M558 P5 C"!^zprobe.in" H5 F120 T6000 A10 R0.5 S0.005 B0 
              

              The ! character inverts the signal, and the ^ character activates the pull up resistor, which should help prevent spurious readings. You may need to add/remove one or both of these if the probe reading goes the wrong way; check in DWC dashboard for Z-probe reading, should be 0 when not triggered, and 1000 when triggered.

              FYI NPN probe wiring is described here: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_a_Z_probe#Section_NPN_output_normally_open_inductive_or_capacitive_sensor

                  So as suspected, you have RRF3 installed. And most of your config is using the RRF3 syntax, however your probe configuration is for RRF2. So try the M558 line given by @droftarts and see how it goes.

                    Thank you

                    I made the changes but the movements are still the same.
                    If I manually hit my endstops, I can see the X and Y light up on the Duet and the Z-Probe goes to 1000 on the dashboard and Panel Due when I hold a piece of metal under it.

                    Perhaps my wiring is wrong? Or does it remember where the print head is (manually hitting the endstops switch = bad idea)?
                    On my motors I have a black/green/red/blue wire. I flip red and blue before plugging into the Duet, correct? The Duet shows black/green/blue/red. But I can hit 10mm X or Y and it does move correctly.

                      Are you still getting these errors?

                      Can you post your config.g now that you've made changed?
                      If you send M98 P"config.g" what errors does it report if any?

                      Use M119 to get the status of the endstops. When unpressed they should report untriggered. When depressed they should report as triggered.

                        I am getting no errors.
                        I think the Z motors are homing in the wrong direction.
                        If I use M564 S0 H0 I can hit Z+ in the dashboard and it does in fact move up correctly. But when I home, it goes down. Should I remove that '!' in the line droftarts posted?

                        Endstops - X: not stopped, Y: not stopped, Z: not stopped, Z probe: not stopped". If I move the print head off the end stops (no endstop lights are lit), I get "M119
                        Endstops - X: at min stop, Y: at min stop, Z: not stopped, Z probe: not stopped"

                          I'm confused. Or maybe you're confused.

                          Z+ should move the bed and nozzle farther apart.
                          Z- should move them closer together.

                          If you need to change the direction of the Z motors use the M569 S to change direction right at the driver settings.

                            @pyper moving the bed in a positive direction should increase the distance between the nozzle and bed, so move the bed down, and a negative move reduces the distance between bad and nozzle, so the bed goes up. So sounds like your Z motors are going the wrong way. You can flip the direction by changing the S parameter in the M569 command that relates to the Z axis in config.g.

                            The comments in the commands are, unfortunately, a little confusing, as they assume the machine is a Prusa-style bed slinger, where the X axis is mounted on the Z, so the nozzle moves ‘up’ with positive Z move.

                              Perhaps I am confused. I assumed Z+ moved the bed UP and Z- moved the bed DOWN.. for a CoreXY?

                                I think my end stops are reversed...! I can move the print head until it touches the X and Y endstops (I see the lights on the Duet), but when I run M119 like you said, I get "M119
                                Endstops - X: not stopped, Y: not stopped, Z: not stopped, Z probe: not stopped". If I move the print head off the end stops (no endstop lights are lit), I get "M119
                                Endstops - X: at min stop, Y: at min stop, Z: not stopped, Z probe: not stopped"

                                In that case you invert the signal by adding a ! to the pin name.

                                ex: M574 X1 S1 P"xstop" becomes M574 X1 S1 P"!xstop"

                                  Perhaps I am confused. I assumed Z+ moved the bed UP and Z- moved the bed DOWN.. for a CoreXY?

                                  No. Think of it as the distance between the bed and nozzle becoming larger or smaller.

                                    Ok, after reversing the Z motor and the endstops, it homed on all axis!
                                    Thank you so much, I'm sure everyone is thinking "how does this guy drive a car?" haha
                                    Onward!

                                      @pyper the micro switches used as endstops on my TronXY X5S were wired NO (normally open); wires connected to the centre pin and the common pin (one of the outer pins) on the micro switch. I expect your X5SA is the same. We recommend wiring micro switch endstops as NC (normally closed) as it reduces false triggering. To do this, simply move the wire connected to the centre pin to the other outside pin (there are only three pins). You also then don’t need to invert the endstop signal with the ! character. I have done this on my machine See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_endstop_switches#Section_Microswitch

                                        Ian,
                                        I checked my switches and the outer pin does nothing that I can see. I used a multi meter and checked continuity on the outer-outer and inner-outer for that pin, and it never had any continuity for any switch setting. Should I get new end stop switches?

                                          @pyper The pins should be labelled C (Common), NO (normally open, centre pin) and NC (normally closed). You should have continuity between NC and C when switch is not depressed, and continuity between NO and C when not depressed. There is no continuity between NO and NC. If you don't have continuity between NC and C, then possibly it's just a really cheap switch packaged as a microswitch!

                                          It's usually not too much of a problem having the microswitches wired NO, but the voltage is floating, so any interference (eg from high voltage such as heater wires or stepper motor wires) can possibly trigger the endstop. This doesn't happen when wired NC.

                                          Here's mine, wire NC, pin labels just about visible:

                                            Ahh, I see you wired up directly to the switch.
                                            I was probing through the 3-wire jack. I guess they didn't even run traces for NC.
                                            Will check on that.TronXY_X5SA_X_endstop.jpg
