BLTouch not triggering

R3play

Hi there.
So I got my Duet3D Wifi boar today and installed/wired everything up.
So far everything works.
However, when I want to home the Z axis, the pin deploys, Z axis goes down but when the pin then retracts it just keeps going and it doesn't stop (only when I power the machine off).

Fix?

After changing the following line:

M558 P9 H5 F100 T2000 ; Set Z probe type to bltouch and the dive height + speeds

To

M558 P4 H5 F100 T2000 ; Set Z probe type to bltouch and the dive height + speeds

And then try to home Z I'm getting the following error:
G28 Z

Error: Z probe already triggered at start of probing move
Error: Homing failed

However now that I changed the P value to 4 I'm getting a Z-Probe readout of 1000 when the pin is in and out on WBC wich I didn't have before (Reading of 1000)

@r3play Have you tried inverting the probe reading. Add a I1 to the M558 line.

I've added a I1 to the M558 command line, but it stays the same.
Pin goes out, lowers Z, but when I push the pin in (manually) it just deploys it back while Z keeps moving down.

Probe is ALWAYS reading 1000.
So it's always assuming that the "endstop" is hit, wether the pin is deployed or retracted.
When I remove the I1 from the M558 command it just shows 0 deployed or retracted.

Wiring:

Basically using this wiring:

I also have checked the white wire and it makes a connection.

When sending M401 manually the pin deploys
When sending M402 manually the pin retracts

TOPIC CAN BE CLOSED.

After 6 hours of struggling and trying I eventually found out I switched the black and white wires... facepalm

Glad I found the problem!
BLTouch works perfectly now.
