running a duet wifi with a dc42 ir

LARRY

So I,m new to this software. I have followed this steps below to home Z but it always stops with the printer nozzle about 1.16mm above the bed the sensor is about 3.45 mm above the bed. I have another print but it runs marlin with a bl touch sensor. I'm at a lose right now i got this print off of a friend that couldn't make it work please help me. I have attached my config.g ;homeall.g ; homez.g. I'm really not good with G-code and commands please be patient with me.

To calibrate the sensor for Z homing and bed probing, home X and Y, then position the head over the centre of the bed. With the nozzle at operating temperature, lower the head so that it is just touching the bed or just gripping a sheet of paper, then send G92 Z0 to define that position as Z=0. Raise the head 5mm and remove the paper. Then send command G30 S-1 to probe the bed at that point without adjusting the Z height setting. Read off the Z height in the “Head Position” box in Duet Web Control, or from the Z coordinate shown on the Control page of PanelDue, or send M114 to retrieve the head position if using a USB host program on a PC. It should be in the range 0.5 to 2.5mm. Use that value for the Z parameter in your G31 command in config.g.

i also have a G28 error: insufficient axes homed for bed probing

What was the value of the comand "G30 S-1" at your configuration (so after set z to 0 with paper + move 5 down + send G30 S-1)?

(I don't believe that this value is exactly 3mm, because in this line "G31 P500 X0 Y-33 Z3 ; set threshold and offsets" you told this your printer )

dc42

Home X and Y before bed probing, to avoid that error message.
Depending on the bed surface you are using, it may be reasonable for the sensor to trigger when the bottom edge is 3.45mm above the bed. So try using that value of 1.16mm that you measured as the Z parameter in your G31 command.

I CAN CHANGE THE Z OFFSET ALL I WANT AND IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE PRINTER IS MY PROBLEM

i changed ti here and still does the exact same thing the head is stopping about 1.16mm above the bed no matter what i do.

Check your M558 if it is correct in your config.g -> H0 ???

I can only tell you how it works for me and it does it without any problems:

First I have homed my printer in all axes, where I have the endstops X min, Y min and Z max -> so my config.g = "M574 X1 Y1 Z2 U2 S1" (is built differently for you, so configured differently ). also i do NOT use my mini-ir as z endstop

Then I determined the distance with the procedure

drive the bed to center and Z about 10mm -> check indicator "probe" in the DWC (must be 0!)
manually move carefully in the direction of Z0 -> display "probe" in the dwc must indicate a value of about 465 when the nozzle come closer to the bed
drive further in the direction of Z0, the "probe" value must indicate about or over 535 (now your nozzle has only a little distance to the bed)
drive the bed back to approx. Z10
Send M558 P1
send G31 P500 Z1.0
manually push the printhead into the middle of the bed
manually approach Z0 with paper
set Z0 with G92 Z0
drive to bed position with G91 Z5
take the measurement with G30 S-1 (note: this value should be between 0.5 and 2.5!)
now send G31 P500 Zxxx (xxx= the value which is shown at the G30 S-1 command and write it in your config.g too!)
write the corect M558 in your config.g
