Piezo not triggering endstop

[interwebsdesigner]

I have a piezo on my hotend. I am setting up a new printer. I have the same setup / settings that work fine on my other printer with duetwifi. I feel like I am doing something wrong here.

I have the piezo setup, in the duetwifi control panel it shows the pressure when I touch the nozzle. But it is not triggering the endstop. I copied over the same config from the running printer so I am not sure why it wouldn't trigger if the probe shows pressure on the nozzle. See config below

Your Z endstop is configured at high end active low.
And you have defined Z probe as well (this is your piezo i guess), but you didnt tell firmware to use probe as endstop. So edit your M574 commands as needed :
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M574_Set_endstop_configuration

If you're using the piezo as endstop, then don't use the Z endstop.

; Endstops
M574 X2 Y2 S0                    ; Set active low endstops

This is configured for a PrecisionsPiezo v2 board, I'm pretty sure that any of their other products would be similar, though you might choose different height/speed.

; Z Probe
M558 P8 H8 F780 I1 T9000 R0.8 Z1 ; Set Z probe type to unmodulated and the dive height + speeds

I see that the Z1 parameter is now marked as obsolete.

P8 sets the piezo as unfiltered, and is somewhat better than P1

H8 sets the dive height. I wanted a bit more so that I could use really low accel and reach the higher speed when I was debugging.

F780 was to get 13mm/s. this is faster than needed, and was set that way for debugging when I was dialling things in (The example is from an older backup of my config.g file.)

I1 to invert the signal,

T for travel speed. I guess I just wanted "as fast as the axes were defined."

and R for a delay to let the printer settle and avoid false triggers.

It's your homez.g and homall.g files that we really need to see.

;homeall.g

G91 ; relative mode
G1 S1 X-240 Y240 F3000 ; course home X or Y
G1 S1 X-240 ; course home X
G1 S1 Y240 ; course home Y
G1 X4 Y-4 F600 ; move away from the endstops
G1 S1 X-10 ; fine home X
G1 S1 Y10 ; fine home Y
G1 S1 Z-240 F3000 ; z home

[SupraGuy]

The last line is in error. Also, I would modify a couple of the other ones.

;homeall.g
G91                    ; relative positioning
G1 Z5 F6000 S2         ; lift Z relative to current position
G1 S1 X-240 Y240 F3000 ; move quickly to X and Y axis endstops and stop there (first pass)
G1 S1 X-240 F3000      ; coarse home X
G1 S1 Y240 F3000       ; coarse home Y
G1 X4 Y-4 F3000        ; back off from endstops
G1 S1 X-10 F300        ; fine home X
G1 S1 Y10 F300         ; fine home Y
G90                    ; absolute positioning
G1 X120 Y120 F3000     ; center hotend
G30                    ; Z probe home

This is modified from mine to do the CoreXY specific stuff, with the coarse/fine homing, and dimensions matching to what you might be using. I am assuming that the X=120,Y=120 is the center point of your bed, but it probably does not matter. The important point here is the G30 in order to do the Z probe. I also included (Present in mine) the 5mm lift of the Z axis at the start. This will also ensure that you should have some distance to do the actual Z probe.

EDIT:

|The reason why I said that the last line was in error, is that it would require that the piezo sensor be connected to the Z axis endstop pin, instead of to the Z probe pin. It certainly appeared from your config.g line up there that you are using the Z probe input and not the Z endstop on the Duet.

That was it. Thank you. Now I have to figure out why this works on my first printer. Appreciate it.
