IR probe values wrong (SOLVED)

[planeguy]

Hi all, I've got weird issue I dunno what to do about. I just cleaned up the wiring on my new printer, but now DC42's IR sensor is giving strange values. It hovers around 130 and drops to 90-ish when triggered. The light blinks 4 times on boot as expected.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Del

Sorry for the bump, but I've been farting around with it over the weekend. Mostly, what should the duet WiFi show when there is no z-probe plugged in? It's hovering around 250 which seems off for something that isn't plugged in.

Anyway thanks again,
Del

Quick reply for the next person who searches

So I figured out I had too many connectors between the probe and the board... probably too much resistance? Anyway a direct connection fixed the problem. Working probe > nice wires any day.

@planeguy, I'm glad you solved it.
