G30 homing issues with capacitive NPN Sensor
-
Hello,
I really need HELP.
I replaced my IR sensor with an capacitive sensor and when using G30 befor any homing the sensor stopps perfectly above the heatbed like calibrated.
but as soon I am homing X or Y or using G30 in a script the G30 is not stopping and drives into the heatbed.Any Idea?
here are my config files:
; Configuration file for RepRap Mendel 3
; RepRapPro Ltd
;
; Copy this file to config.g if you have a Mendel 3
; If you are updating a config.g that you already have you
; may wish to go through it and this file checking what you
; want to keep from your old file.

You could add H5 to your M558 command to set a height of 5mm before probing, also try probing at a lower speed.

I can't think of any reason why homing X or Y should make a difference to whether the capacitive sensor triggers or not, provided that the sensor is over the same point of the bed in both cases.
Does your capacitive sensor trigger reliably everywhere on the bed, and whether the bed is hot or cold? Capacitive sensors are susceptible to temperature, humidity and bed surface changes, so I advise against them.

The sensor is triggering correct.
the sensor LED lights up, but the z move doesn't stop,
i will come back with more info on sunday when I am back at my printer -
Adding M558 P4 to homez.g solved my problem
