Z end stop errors posted during auto bed compensation

[TimVukman]

Hi:
Cartesian Frame

Mechanical limit switches
HomeX works properly
HomeY works properly
HomeZ works properly

HomeAll works properly

When I run the auto bed compensation, I get error messages popping up that say that

"the Z probe was not triggered during probing move"

and the utility fails.

At each probe point, I see the light on the main board turn on for the Z end stop indicating that it has triggered.

Is there a way to see the gcode that is executing during the auto bed compensation run?

I don't understand why it is failing, or not registering the z end stop triggering except to observe that the z end stop light goes out between probe points which I think it should (and which matches the error message), or is the z end stop supposed to be triggered throughout the probing duration and how do I make that happen without editing the auto bed compensation code?

Thanks
Tim

If you have recently updated, make sure deploy and retract probe folders have been deleted.

Then post your config and bed files.

What are you using for a probe? You don't have anything in your M558 for it.

[TimVukman]

Well. that might be causing my issue. I don't have a probe. I had an SN04 from my Tevo Tarantula, but I didn't want to modify the Duet to use it on this board. I have ordered one of DC42s probes, but I don't have it yet. All I have is the Z limit switch which I had hoped would allow me to print while I was waiting for the probe to arrive.

I haven't managed to get my first print done yet.

Can I just comment out the M558 for now? Will it then use my z limit switch, or will it just fail?

Thanks
Tim

Just don't run the bed compensation.

[TimVukman]

Ok, Thanks very much.

Now I can work setting up the 1st layer and so on.
