I can't get the Bltouch working
-
Everything is homing but it says the bltouch is triggered and the blue led is not on.
Here is my config file. Everything is working heated bed extruders x and y just the zprobe is a problem.Thank you for the help

Does it respond at all if you send it servo commands?
Double check your wiring.
-
I just check all the wires. I follow this diagram. When I turn on the printer the pin goes in and out. I am using the wifi board I hope this is the right diagram.
Also here is my deployprobe.g file.
Thank you for the help

I don't think that's the right servo command for deploy.
see here: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_a_Z_probe#Section_BLTouch
Here's what I use
; Probe deployment routine for BLTouch-Smart on DBot ; M280 P3 S10 I1 ; Set servo position to deploy; Probe retraction routine for BLTouch-Smart on DBot ; M280 P3 S90 I1 -
That worked now I have to change the z motor it going the wrong way.
the blue led is on now.Thank you
-
Something is still not right the machine status Z-Probe is reading 1000
-
The probe status doesn't change visibly in the interface. It only flashes as it triggers and then goes back. You'll have to do a manual test to see if it stops the bed from moving during a G30. Raise the print head away from the bed and issue a G30 and the probe should deploy. Touch the pin with your hand to trigger it and the movement should stop. If it doesn't, turn the power off.
-
When I do the G30 I get this error. I am new to the Duet Wifi Board it is pretty hard to setup for the first time.
Error: G30: Insufficient axes homed for bed probing
Thank you for your help
-
You'll need to home x and y first.
Then you can move the head into the position you want to probe.
I recommend reading through these guides.

The Duet is a bit different than other boards and firmware, but it's also a lot more powerful and flexible.
-
Done - Move the nozzle until it is at a good Z=0 height (for example a height that will touch but not pin a piece of paper against the bed).
Done - Set this height as Z=0 with G92 Z0
Done -Move the print head up perhaps a centimeterWhen I do this I get this error - Run a single probe without updating the printer's coordinates: G30 S-1
G30 S-1
Error: Z probe already triggered at start of probing move
Thank you so much for the help you are great help.

Does the probe deploy when you run that command?
-
No It does comes on. Now everything is good but the BLTouch
But if I do this it come down and the blue light comes on.
M280 P3 S10 I1
If I lightly touch the BLTouch it goes up red led on and then comes down and the blue led comes on.When I put this in all the pin does is goes in and out without stopping and blue led is on.

Which firmware version are you using? Have you set up your deployprobe.g and retractprobe.g files as described on the wiki page?
-
Here is the firmware I am running.
Firmware Name: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet
Firmware Electronics: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later
Firmware Version: 1.21RC3 (2018-02-28 build 4)
WiFi Server Version: 1.21RC4(08b3)
Web Interface Version: 1.21-RC4Editing 0:/sys/deployprobe.g
; Probe deployment routine for BLTouchon on Tevo Black Widow
M280 P3 S10 I1Editing 0:/sys/retractprobe.g
; Probe retraction routine for BLTouchon on Tevo Black Widow
M280 P3 S10 I1Also on duet Wifi Page where it say Z- Probe it says 1000. The BLTouch is wired with the Duet Wifi diagram.
I know I am so close It is driving me crazy. I have been working on this for 2 weeks.
Thank you,
-
@saltypetz your deploy and retract commands are the same.
-
As @Phaedrux says, also please use the 1.21 release firmware not the release candidate.
-
I did everything you said rolled the firmware back to 1.20
and then all this.
Commissioning & Testing
To test the setup with the nozzle maybe a 100mm up from the bed you can check if the trigger signal is reaching the Duet by attempting to extend the pin by using the following command:M280 P3 S10 I1
Then put the Sensor in to test mode by inputting the following command:
M280 P3 S120 I1
If all is well the web interface should report a value of ” 0” in the Z probe column when the pin is extended. You can then lightly touch the extended probe pin to check that the pin retracts, the value in the Z probe Column should change to “1000”
If all is good It is at this point that you can deploy the probe using the M280 P3 S10 I1 command and slowly lower the nozzle to the bed and find out your own Z trigger height, when the probe touches the bed and the pin retracts you can take a reading of the Z height and use that to input into the G31 command in the config.g file
When the pin hit the bed it flashes red and the z says 3.60 but where is says Z-Probe is says 1000.
is everything done know and ready to print.Thank you everyone for the help this board is real hard. Thank you

Now if i tell it all home it homes x and y and centers in bed then the BLTouch goes up and down continuously without stopping.blue and red led on.
-
It sounds like you have the servo command to do a self test in your deploy macro instead of the command to deploy.
-
I hate to sound really dumb but now you lost me. I did all home x and y homed no problem and the Z runs into the bed.
Can you give me a little more information than that I am lost and I am only 2 weeks in trying to get it to work.
I am a newbie with the Duet Wifi but I love it already. I cant wait to get it going.
