      I suggest you test the Z probe configuration as described at https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Test_and_calibrate_the_Z_probe.

          @saltypetz do not use photobucket, its crap. Don't force people to install chrome extensions.
          imgur and similar others provide better service

                    I did this and it worked perfect. When I do the G30 I get this.
                    Now issue G30 command.

                    G30
                    Error: Z probe already triggered at start of probing move
                    It moves to center of bed and only the red led is on then the red and blue come on at the same time and i get the error.

                    Herer’s a simply macro I named Move to Centerbed, where I home X and Y first:
                    G28 XY
                    G1 X100 Y120 F4000 ; Move probe to middle of bed
                    Move Z untill your nozzle is about 10cm (4 inches) from the bed.
                    Be ready to click the Emergency Stop in case the probe misbehaves.

                      Your Bltouch Z-Probe value shouldn't read 1000 all the time in the webinterface. Maybe you have a bad contact in one of your crimped contacts/wires or you missed to set your bltouch to the correct voltage by cutting the pcb line or adding a resistor.

                      As I have mentioned in your previous thread:
                      The probe should move two times out&in when the printer is powered up, then it should stay rectracted (in).

                      If your BLtouch does this fine the next thing to check if you can manually deploy and retract the probe with the commands:
                      for Deploy: M280 P3 S10 I1 ;(and it should stay deployed - not changing in/out by itself)
                      for Retract: M280 P3 S90 I1 ;(and it should stay retracted - not changing in/out by itself)

                      My BLTouch Z-Probe is always shown in the webinterface with a value of "0", but it works fine for me. As it is mentioned in the guides, the value may change so fast when probing that it just isn't displayed when it is triggered.

                      Is this is all working for you to this point ? This has to work before trying to probe the bed makes sense.

                        I didn't cut the wire to put a resistor. I am going to try your settings right now.
                        This board is a pain but I'm sure I will love it when I get it right. I have been trying so hard
                        for 3 weeks now. I get so mad I want to throw it in the lake. Just kidding. I love it and wish I could get it going.

                        Thank you
