      Try this and see what happens.

        Have you changed the H number yet? Just wonder if it is freaking out because your homed height is greater than what your config is.

        Yes, if I manually lower the nozzle from homed position it stops at bed height so that seems OK.

          I have that already - after changing it earlier.

          In an effort to fix the 'freezing' problem, I replaced deployprobe.g - it now reacts to the G30 command without freezing - but the original problem returns and it ignores a touch on the nozzle during the G30 operation.

            Notes from the Wiki.

            Version 1.19

            Upgrade notes from version 1.18.2:
            •Recommended DuetWebControl version is 1.19
            •Recommended DuetWiFiServer version is 1.19
            •Important! If you use an IR Z probe or some other type that does not need to be deployed, delete the files sys/deployprobe and sys/retractprobe.g if they exist, because they are now called automatically. You can do this in the System Files Editor of the web interface.

            You do need those two files removed, so your issue is somewhere else.

              So, now when the nozzle is at the bed, the web interface reads 0 for Z height?

                You do need those two files removed, so your issue is somewhere else.

                If I remove deployprobe.g then I get the freezing issue. It contains the following:

                [[language]]
                ; Probe deployment routine for Mini Kossel
                M564 S0					; don't apply limits
                G1 X25 Y93 Z40 F10000	; put probe arm next to belt
                G1 X-5 F500				; move probe arm across belt
                G1 X12 F1000			; move probe back
                G1 X0 Y0 F10000			; move to somewhere sensible
                M564 S1					; apply limits again
                
                

                With that file in place, it seems to execute the commands, then probes the bed (green LED flash) and then stops with z=-0.1. Without that file it does none of those operations and enters a permanently busy state.

                I will try and comment those lines out 1 by 1 to find which one is required to make G30 work.

                  I've also homed the printer and slowly dropped the nozzle until it just touches the bed. The Z-height readings were:
                  Homed: 645.0
                  Touching bed: 212.5

                  This is what I don't get. When you home a printer, it doesn't count how far it moved until it activates the endstop switches. It just moves until it hits them, backs off, moves slowly until it hits again and usually moves away 5mm or so. That is your homed height. The Duet then uses your H number from M665 to determine how far above the bed the nozzle is. How was yours showing 645 with 550 in the M665? Do you have a config-override.g file?

                    Yes, there is a config-override.g file with a warning not to edit it as it is machine generated.

                    With the deployprobe.g file as below, G30 seems to work (although it does leave the nozzle at -0.1)

                    [[language]]
                    G1 X0 Y0 F25000			; move to somewhere sensible
                    
                    

                    Without that file, or with that line commented out, G30 does not work.

                      Good point, that is always pain in the ass if you forget it 😉

                            OK, just realised that was a typo - 645 should have been 445. I'm really sorry for the confusion!

                                Have you ran anything that required a M500 command like a hotend or heat bed calibration?

                                  Yes, I did that twice - for bed PID and hotend PID auto tune.

                                    But it still showed 212 touching the bed?

                                          I removed the bed to check on the fans in the control box. After re-installing,, the homed Z-height now reads 441.39 and it reads 9.39 when touching the bed.
