Z-PROBE Triggers properly, but does not turn off
-
I have an NPN resistive z probe that triggers properly on my aluminum bed, but as soon as it is triggered, it stays on, both the DWC reading and the LED on the sensor stay on until manually reset.
wired as described in wiki (mode4, bat43 w cathode line toward sensor connected to black output wire, grounded blue wire, brown wired directly to 24v. Both EO and ZPROBE tried)
Once the Duet is reset, it shows as untriggered and reads correctly (0 for away, 1000 for close). It will stay off until triggered again and then stays on for good. This is repeated every time, I tried and have the same problem with both E0 and Z Probe pin positions, and it happened the same with both BAT43 and 1N4148. If I1 is used (0 when off, 1000 when triggered, stays at 1000 when it is off bed) If I0 (default) is used (1000 when off, 0 when triggered, stays at 0 when it is off bed).
I also have a mechanical z switch. but that seems to work fine and it does not stay on or change due to z probe hookup. I use the mechanical z stop to homeall and homez. I was able to print without the probe, so all other hardware/settings seem to be working.
Previously worked on zonestar zrib board. Board fried, not sure why, bought a duet wifi.

If you disconnect the sensor output wire from the Duet, does the sensor LED still remain on for good after it has been triggered once? If so, that would confirm that it is a problem with the sensor. Did your old board also use 24V power, or is this the first time you have run the sensor from 24V?

As per your description, it IS a problem with the sensor (npn z probe).
I had both wires connected to E0, homed Z, and LED came on.
I pulled the black wire (z probe output wire) off duet wifi, zprobe LED stayed on. I raised the z high. Still the LED was on.Would this failure be why the reading is either 0 or 1000. I would assume there should be different values if it were working properly. Is that correct?
Yes my old board was 24v zonestar zrib and the sensor worked properly. Although that board fried for an unknown reason, so maybe the frying caused it's zprobe failure, or the z probe failure caused the frying of my mainboard.

If the Z probe produced a digital output, the only readings you will get will bge 0 and 1000. It's only for analog-output sensors that you can get readings in between.
