BLTouch not working

@hsverre
There is a jumper on the duex for the use of an external 5v supply.
Have you checked that?

@diy-o-sphere
I have played a bit back and forth with that pin. When in the position the schem show the PWM pins gives 2.658 V -
@hsverre
Set the jumper that way.(UTC+1)
-
BTW Do I need an external powersupply for the Duex other than the 12 V?

@hsverre
Only with big 5v fans....Edit:
To be exact larger consumers like LEDs, rc servos...... in total more than 1A on the 5v line. -

Set the jumper that way.Now i have set the jumper that way and 2.6 V (half of 5?) at thw PWM

You cannot measure this exactly with a voltmeter. But it could be plausible for an end position. It's been a few years since I've measured that too.....I would give it a try. -

The BLTouch still dont work with the 2.6 v. In my opinion the problem is that the PWM gives 2.6 V and not 5 V. The schematics says 5 V and then I should measure 5 V at that pin.

You can source 5v from other points on the Duex for testing purposes.

Another possible test would be to disconnect the Duex Ribbon cable and connect the BLtouch wires as shown for a simple Duet connection. If the BLTouch works there, then we have isolated the problem to the Duex itself.
