Automatic Bed Tilt Calibration, G30 S4, and G30 S-2
-
It probably helps if you shared your config.g and homeall.g (and homez.g). For your issue
(the G30 S-2 keeps saying tool was not selected)
make sure you select a tool at the end of config.g (just add
T0at the end of config.g). Alternately, try addingKnto your G30 command to select a probe (n should be 0 if you only have a single z probe).Also make sure that M558 in config.g is the same as in your tilt correction script so that differences in dive height and speed don't change the behavior of the BLTouch (which usually is known for decent repeatability).

every time you send this it will reset any G31 offsets. Why not just set it in config once and forget?
You should maybe also look at using an iterative probing routine so you don;t have to repeat everything. e.g.

When using a P9 probe, there should be no need to extend it as this is handled by the firmware. If you do want to use the "fast probing" use M401 instead so the firmware can keep track of the probe status

One thing that I see is in your homeZ.g file.
You don't move the probe to a known XY position before issuing the G30.
My printers are setup so that X=0 Y=0 is the center of the bed and that is the point I use.
Whatever point you use it should always be the same point.

@fcwilt Yes it looks like it homes where is currently is on the bed
That is not a good idea - it needs to be the same point every time G30 is used for homing Z or setting the Z=0 datum.

I will have to see if it is used as a subroutine in any other macro. If so I will have to resolve that and if not I can add a move to the back left where homeall.g goes.

@jay_s_uk the M401 looks like it just runs the deployprobe.g routine which in turn runs a M280 P7 S10
; deployprobe.g ; called to deploy a physical Z probe M280 P7 S10 ; deploy BLTouchNot quite sure what the net difference is between the M280 P7 S60 and a M280 P7 S10 commands.

@bstump normally one is deploy and the other is retract. what type of probe do you have?

Can we set the Z=0 for each Z Stepper, better still for the mean of the 4 steppers. I hope that is what the G30 S4 is supposed to do.

@jay_s_uk the H558 commands in both the tilt macro and the config.g are identical. I will comment out the one in my modified macro.

After commenting out the M558 and M280 in my Tilt Macro the results are better but it does not look like it corrected the Z=0. Maybe I need to run a G30 S-2 K0 to correct the Z=0.

I need a way that automatically works to reset the Z=0. Currently no sign the tilt correction is taking nor the Z=0 is being reset correctly.
