Smart Effector V3 blinks one time

SteveP

@dc42 It's a version 3, It's been powered up at least 30 times, I been messing with it for 2 weeks. Whats the command to put it into test mode, maybe it just mixed up! LOL

Here are the commissioning details for using it with a Duet and RRF. I'm not entirely sure how it differs with an SKR and Marlin though, but perhaps it gives you an idea?

SteveP

@Phaedrux Thank you very much. I'll either figure it out or throw it in the trash. LOL

@SteveP

Did you try the method given above?

If it's a version 2 then grounding the Smart Effector input (programming) pin for a short while when it is powered up should take it out of test mode.

SteveP

@OwenD It's version 3. Which pin is the input (programming) pin?

Phaedrux

Does it respond to M672?

SteveP

@Phaedrux Yes sir it does.

That's unclear from the docs I can find
Will have to wait for @dc42 or @Phaedrux to comment

It's labeled ZProbe Mod on the wiring diagram at https://docs.duet3d.com/Duet3D_hardware/Accessories/Smart_Effector#physical-connections.

You said it responds to M672. Do you mean that it blinks the LED three times after you program the sensitivity?

SteveP

@dc42 If I send M672 S75 for example it blinks 4 times, when I reboot it blinks once. If I send M672 R it blinks 5 times, when I reboot it blinks once

@SteveP I thin there may be a problem with the EEPROM in the microcontroller on the Smart Effector, so we will replace it under warranty. Please email warranty@duet3d.com and include a link to this thread in your email. You don't need to include much detail because you will receive a reply with a link to a form to fill in.

@dc42 Thank you very much for your help!
