      I'm wanted to use this autocompensation for the Z axis to level the two
      sides of the bed as sometimes the leadscrews may drop just a little.
      Ive read up on it and started the configuration but I'm not so sure I got it right.
      From what I found on internet I have this for know

      ;Drives
      M667 S1 ; set to CoreXY mode
      M569 P0 S1 ; X Drive 0 goes forwards (change to S0 to reverse it)
      M569 P1 S1 ; Y Drive 1 goes forwards
      M569 P2 S1 ; Left Z DRIVE (original Z)
      M569 P4 S1 ; Right Z Drive (Ex1)
      ;M569 P2 S1 ; Drive 2 goes forwards
      M569 P3 S1 ; Extruder Drive 3 goes forwards
      M350 X16 Y16 Z16:16 U16 E16 I1 ; Set 16x microstepping with interpolation
      M92 X160 Y160 Z3200:3200 U3200 E837 ; Set axis steps/mm Set extruder steps/mm
      M566 X500 Y500 Z150 E500 ; Maximum jerk speeds mm/minute
      M201 X1200 Y1200 Z18:18 U18 E800 ; Accelerations (mm/s^2)
      M203 X12000 Y12000 Z120:120 U120 E12000 ; Maximum speeds (mm/min)
      M906 X1200 Y1200 Z1800:1800 E1200 U1800 I30 ; Set motor currents (mA)extruder current just enough will click not strip
      M84 S30 ; Set idle timeout

      ; Motor remapping for dual Z
      M584 X0 Y1 Z2:4 U4 E3 P3 ; Driver 0 For X, 1 for Y, Z=2:4 U=4, Extruder 3

      Still have to do the home and endstops but that where I got lost.
      Now i can add the U endstop but I already have a Z endstoip setup using the IR how do I tell it that I need to use it for the autocompensation first then
      the normal Z probe.

      I have connected the 2 endstops to Z and E1.

        What you actually want to do is auto-levelling, not auto bed compensation (many people make the opposite mistake). You can do it in two ways:

        1. Use two separate Z endstop switches, which is what you appear to have done. In this case the second Z motor temporarily becomes the U axis. The Z endstop switch must be connected to the Z endstop input as usual, and the U endstop must be connected to E0 endstop input. Your Z homing file needs to:
        • split the motors into Z and U and make the U axis visible using M584 Z2 U4 P4 (no need to mention X, Y or E if you already set them up in the M584 command in config.g)
        • home Z and U simultaneously using a G1 S1 UxxxZxxx move
        • restore both motors to Z and hide the U axis using M584 Z2:4 U11 P3
        • if you then want to get an accurate Z height using the Z probe, follow that with a G30 probing move at the centre of the bed
          Similarly for the Z homing section of homeall.g.
        1. Alternatively you can use just one endstop switch for homing (or none - use the Z probe to home Z), then probe 2 or more positions on the bed and have the firmware adjust the Z motors individually. See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Bed_levelling_using_multiple_independent_Z_motors.

          So when i connect the endstops and put this code in homez.g then it should works?

          ; homez.g
          ; called to home the Z axis
          M584 Z2 U4 P4
          G1 S1 U200Z200
          M584 Z2:4 U11 P3

          ;home z needs to be done with bltouch so then i put
          G91 ; relative positioning
          G1 Z5 F6000 S2 ; lift Z relative to current position
          G90 ; absolute positioning
          G1 X100 Y130 F6000 ; go to mid of the bed
          G30 S1 ; home Z by probing the bed

            Yes that should work, except that you should also put this line in config.g:

            M584 Z2:4 U11 E3 P3

            Also use the same Z homing code in the Z homing section of homez.g, or have homeall.g call homez.g using M98 to do Z homing.

            Connect the U axis endstop switch to the E0 endstop input.
