@sgk I just looked at your config.g what firmware version are you using version 1? it might be an idea to update it!

You said "you can tell me what they are".

I don't know what you mean by that.

OK I will post again my question again:

OK can you do this:
- Disconnect the connector from the IR Sensor
- Using a small piece of wire or equivalent connect the signal and ground pins of that connector and check the DWC Z probe reading
- Then do the same but connecting the signal and power pins

the probe works but when I do g30 s-1 the bed stays at a great distance from the nozzle as in the photo

@sgk

If you move the bed away from the probe, say to Z=5, does then doing a G30 or a G30 S-1 result in the bed moving and triggering the probe?

OK so the probe IS working.

After doing a G30 or a G30 S-1 it is normal for the probe to end up a small distance away from the bed.

That distance is the dive height (the H parameter of M558) plus the Z Trigger Height (the Z parameter of G31).

Does that appear to be what is happening when you do a G30 or G30 S-1?

@fcwilt yes

@fcwilt yes

OK do this:

• Move to Z=5
• Execute a G30
• Carefully using the Z "jog" buttons on the DWC move to Z=0
• Check to see if the nozzle is just touching the surface of the bed

@fcwilt no

I see the Z reading is -1.00 - is that with the nozzle just touching the bed?
