Gcode for test BlTouch

peirof

Lets thinking….

if it was working correctly, what should the printer do?

1- Homing
2- The Nozzle goes down to find the bed, at a speed T600 (in this case)
3- When BlTouch touches the bed, the Nozzle stops going down, and goes up. How much does it rise?
4- It moves horizontally to the next point defined in bed.g.
5- Go back down, until the BlTouch plays ....
and this process for all points in bed.g ....

It would be like this?
which can cause the head to NOT stop going down when the BlTouch is playing? Assuming it is working, since the G30 S-1 command works

Is there any other way to prove that the BlTouch works?
There was not a form of relative movement, which stopped when the BlTouch (ZProbe) was activated ???

Maybe this helps you.
This are my config.g lines for bltouch

[[language]]

M307 H7 A-1 C-1 D-1 ; disable heater7 free it up for pwm control for bltouch

M558 P5 X0 Y0 Z1 H3 F100 T500; Set Z Probe to type Switch or Digital output where Z probe connector is used. Used for z only. ; bltouch

G31 P25 X0 Y-15 Z1.00 ; Set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height - bltouch

M557 X5:205 Y5:205 S20 ; Define mesh grid
M376 H3.0 ; taper of height compensation above this mm value

This is my home.z:

[[language]]
; Lift Z relatively to current position
G91
G1 Z5 F1000

; Back to absolute positioning - mid of bed
G90
G1 X105 Y120 F3000

; Move Z down until the switch triggers
G30

; Uncomment the following lines to lift Z after probing
;G91
G1 Z5 F100
;G90

Thanks, later try, now i am not in home, and give feedback

Sachin, one question of your config…

You have in config.g, this line

[[language]]
M558 P5 X0 Y0 Z1 H3 F100 T500;

Z… Is the distance between, nozzle and Bltouch... When is deployed? No, in your config... You have Bltouch deployed under nozzle 1mm. No?

dc42

In firmware 1.19 and earlier, Z1 in the M558 just means that the Z probe is used in lieu of a Z endstop switch. In firmware 1.20 and later it is ignored, because that option is set in M574 instead. But in fact it isn't necessary to tell the firmware to substitute the Z probe for the Z endstop switch at all, assuming you set up your homing files correctly to use G30 to do Z homing.

The Z probe trigger height is set in the G31 command.

I have installed firmware 1.20….

Whats the correct configuration.g?

Someone using Bltouch, and firmware 1.20, can post his working configuration?

dc42

The configuration that Scachi posted should work with 1.20 too.

I suspect that the problem may be in the file bed.g, which makes me think that:

A- The BlTouch sensor, now, seems to work correctly, when I turn on the printer it does the initial test
B- If you send the gcode G30 S-1 via a console, it seems to execute it well.

So….

When by DWI, you send the autocalibrate order ... it is supposed to make the orders contained in bed.g. Do not?
When you send the order to use the mesh compensation ... It does not depend on what you put in bed.g, but on order M557 in config.g. DO NOT?

Someone, that have a Delta and uses BlTouch, can post his [c]bed.g[/c]

News….

I try to make a [c]bedcompesation[/c], and partial works, with the next behavoir:

1- Nozzle go down, a bit slow, but go down….
2- With Nozzle is near bed, aprox 30 mm, slow, VERY SLOW.
3- With BlTouch, reach bed... MAGIC, WORKS. Retract, and Nozzle go up.
4- Go to the next point... and here start the problems, de BlTouch, NO re Deploy.

Why?

And why bed compenstation works, or semi works, and calibration NO works, nothing?

Ideas?

eeee…..

i think i have it.... not sure.

Dc42.... if someone, has put the files deployprobe.g and retractprobe.g.... in dir [c]\macro[/c]…. maybe.... and only maybe, can be the cause of behavoir descrived in previous post?
