      I am swapping from a BLTouch to a scanning Z-probe, in the support documentation the example config has the original probe in play still and the scanning as a secondary. I am running RRF 3.5.4, mini 5+, SHT36 max v3. Everything is talking and I’m able to print but want to utilize my scanning probe. Can the scanning probe be the only and perform functions like Z homing and g32 for my dual-Z setup? Do I need to keep the BLTouch?

        @smaaash with 3.5.4 yes.
        With 3.6 you can utilise touch probing

        Owns various duet boards and is the main wiki maintainer for the Teamgloomy LPC/STM32 port of RRF. Assume I'm running whatever the latest beta/stable build is

          @smaaash Just to be clear with 3.5.4 you will need both probes (or at least some way to home Z and set Z=0 other than the SZP). 3.6 adds support for homing by touching the nozzle on the bed and detecting this using the SZP, but be aware this feature is still classed as experimental.
