      Hi everyone,

      I have recently added a new Aero extruder and have removed the inductive Z probe, I didn't use it for bed levelling as the surface is quite true.
      I now have an issue where I can't home the bed anymore using the Z endstop microswitch. When I get to the Z level section in homeall I get a prompt for manual bed levelling. I have tried M558 P0 in the config file without success.
      Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

      config.g below

      M111 S0 ; Debugging off
      M555 P2 ; Set firmware compatibility to look like Marlin
      M84 S30 ; Set idle timeout
      M667 S1 ; Select CoreXY mode

      ; Endstops
      M574 Y2 Z2 S0
      M574 X1 S1 ; Define active low and unused microswitches
      ;M558 P4 I1 X0 Y0 Z0 H5 F240 T6000 ; Set Z probe type to switch, the axes for which it is used and the probe + travel speeds
      ;G31 P200 X38 Y0 Z0 ; Set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
      M557 X0:250 Y13:195 S20 ; Define mesh grid

      ; Drives
      M569 P0 S0 ; Drive 0 goes backwards
      M569 P1 S1 ; Drive 1 goes backwards
      M569 P2 S1 ; Drive 2 goes forwards
      M569 P3 S0 ; Drive 3 goes backwards
      M569 P4 S0 ; Drive 4 goes backwards
      M350 X32 Y32 Z32 E32 I1 ; Configure microstepping with interpolation

      M92 X160 Y160 Z800 E1600 ; Set steps per mm
      M201 X500 Y500 Z250 E250 ; Accelerations (mm/s^2)
      M203 X6000 Y6000 Z200 E1500 ; Maximum speeds (mm/min)
      M566 X800 Y800 Z30 E200 ; Maximum jerk speeds mm/minute
      M208 X300 Y200 Z310 ; set axis maxima (adjust to suit your machine)
      M208 X0 Y0 Z0 S1 ; set axis minima (adjust to make X=0 and Y=0 the edges of the bed)
      M906 X800 Y800 Z1500 E1000 I30 ; Set motor currents (mA) and motor idle factor in per cent
      G21 ; Work in millimetres
      G90 ; Send absolute coordinates…
      M83 ; ...but relative extruder moves

      ; Heaters
      M143 S260 ; Set maximum heater temperature to 260C
      M301 H0 S1.00 P10 I0.1 D200 T0.4 W180 B30 ; Use PID on bed heater (may require further tuning)
      M305 P0 T100000 B4138 C0 R4700 ; Set thermistor + ADC parameters for heater 0
      M305 P1 T100000 B4138 C0 R4700 ; Set thermistor + ADC parameters for heater 1
      ;M305 P2 T100000 B4138 C0 R4700 ; Set thermistor + ADC parameters for heater 2

      ; Tools
      M563 P0 D0 H1 ; Define tool 0
      G10 P0 X0 Y0 Z0 ; Set tool 0 axis offsets
      G10 P0 R0 S0 ; Set initial tool 0 active and standby temperatures to 0C
      ;M563 P1 D1 H2 ; Define tool 1
      ;G10 P1 X18 Y0 Z0 ; Set tool 1 axis offsets
      ;G10 P1 R0 S0 ; Set initial tool 1 active and standby temperatures to 0C

      ; Network
      M550 PD-Bot ; Set machine name
      M551 P4Rahsc!2 ; Set password
      M552 S1 ; Enable network and acquire dynamic address via DHCP

      ; Fans
      M106 P0 S0.3 I0 F500 H-1 ; Set fan 0 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned off
      M106 P1 S1 I0 F500 H-1 ; Set fan 1 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned off
      M106 P2 S1 I0 F500 H-1 ; Set fan 2 value, PWM signal inversion and frequency. Thermostatic control is turned off

      ; Custom settings are not configured

      ; Miscellaneous

        It sounds like your homeall.g and homez.g files are set up to home Z using the Z probe, so you need to change them. See #1 at https://duet3d.com/wiki/Common_problems_and_their_solutions (I appreciate that the symptom you have is different).
