      I do have deploy and retract commands, I think I just found the issue though. I'm running 1.19.2, I thought the board was updated to 1.2 already. I'll give that a shot.

        @armatus 2.01 is the later full release. 1.21 is quite old at this point. 2.02 is right around the corner.

          I've updated to what I think is all the latest settings. I've been switching the H pins between 5 and 7 to try to get proper triggering, so far I'm having the same issue. The pin now extends and retracts on M401 and 402 commands, but the Z probe sensor always says 0.

          I haven't cleaned up my wiring at the board yet, excuse the mess. I'm holding the BL touch wires.

            It will only flash triggered on the DWC zprobe display very briefly due to the way it triggers and immediately releases, so that's not a very reliable way of testing the BLTouch.

            Does it stop the bed from moving if you go through the test procedure here: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Test_and_calibrate_the_Z_probe

              Solved! I was afraid to try the live stop test when I couldn't see any readings, everything is working now. I should be doing my first print on this IDEX monster within the hour 😄

                  That's very good for a first print ☺

                    First print!

                    It's overextruding like a pig, I can't figure out why. I've turned down the extruder steps in the config, M92 E2.00 all the way from E60, seemingly not much change. First layers are alright, then it pushes much to fast for second layers and causes skips.

                    My changes in the config seem to be doing nothing, the machine panel details remain unchanged

                      @armatus have you calibrated the extruder e steps?

                        I'm making progress, had to reconfigure the firmware from scratch and re-upload. I still have a lot of settings to tweak and an additional axis to wire up and get working, but I do have one nozzle printing now 🙂
