Bl touch problems
-
Good evening,
I recently found a permanent solution on mounting my maestro board got it printed out and installed. In the process I had to re run the wiring. I have triple checked the wiring re did my conf.g with the configuration fallowing the Ender 3 pro and duet maestro set up guide. however i keep getting "Z probe already triggered at start of probing move". also i noticed that my z-probe read out is 1000. not sure why.
thank you

Re check the wiring.
Does the probe respond to deploy and retract commands?
-
@phaedrux yes it responds to both

i think i got it working but im not sure how good of a fix it is.
sense the proble is ready 1000 i set the trigger vallue to 1001 at the moment. this allows me to get some movement. -
How exactly do you have it wired? It sounds like the signal is being inverted or that it needs to be inverted.
-
-
I used the connectors that came with the board. unfortunate I could not find a 5 pin connector so i used a 2 pin and a 3 pin and cut the plastic guides that interfered off.
-
here is the actual wiring -
That looks right.
What version of BLTouch is it?
I'd still double check the wires and crimps themselves to make sure they aren't damaged and that all electrical connections are actually being made.
-
the bl touch is v3
-
I have a V3 BlTouch that I hope to be connecting to a Duet Maestro in the next couple days once I have some parts printed. Though I don't think there is anything compatibility wise that should be stopping it from working.
Most likely it's a wiring issue of some kind, or a small configuration oversight.
Maybe take a break from it and come back at it with fresh eyes. Start from the top.
-
thank you for the help. I am going to re do the crimp connections and see where that gets me.
-
i figured out part of the issue. the white and black connectors near the bltouch came untouched. now my z-probe is ready. im not sure if anything on this could be usefull but now i can actually run the home however when i trigger the bltouch it the z axis does not stop. -
If it's not stopping, that would indicate there's still an issue with the wiring, probably the white wire.
-
Is that a direct run from the BL to the Maestro in regards to the wiring?
Do you have any joins in the wires? If you do make sure they are solid and if you have changed colours make sure they correspond correctly at the Maestro end.Also unplug the tiny connector on the back of the BL Touch carefully and plug back in again, it might not be seated correctly, its fiddly!
Your code for the Z-Probe is the same as mine.
Also as Phaedrux has guided me before the height of the BL Touch needs to be correct.
Turn power off, wind down the Z axis slowly so the nozzle touches the bed.
Measure from bed to bottom of the CASE of the BL touch, it should be about 8mm. Not the probe tip.
I printed a tool from thingiverse to help me as using a mirror as a bed makes seeing things harder! -
Your G31 in your config says " G31 P500 X0 Y0 " . Your need measure your off sets ,
Just thinking is the BL TOUCH flashing red. mine does it now and then and i have to power up and down the printer... when she is flashing it shows triggered .
-
@lodger He does have an offset
G31 P500 X0 Y0 Z2.5
I had a double take also. -

@phaedrux If your unsure of this point us to how you have mounted it .IE what mount you printed out so we can help...
