Duet Wifi and BLTouch v3
-
Does anyone have the latest BLtouch(v3 smart) wired and working on any of the Duet boards running RRF v2.02(RTOS)? I currently have an EZABL but I was thinking of replacing it with a BLTouch. I want to make sure it will work before purchasing one. I've read that the BLTouch v3 doesn't work with any firmware(Marlin,RRF, etc.).
If you answered yes was it a direct plugin as far as wiring? By that I mean was there any need to add or remove any capacitors or anything else? I'm really hoping I can just connect the wires to the correct places on the board and configure the RepRapFirmware and everything will run smoothly. -
Several people here have gotten it to work without any modification.

Hi,
I'm using 2.04 RC1 and a BLTouch v3.0 seems to be working.
Occasionally I get an "alarm" condition where the BLTouch starts flashing. I think it is happening when trying to probe when the starting Z position is too close to the bed.

Thank you both for your reply. I am having serious difficulty getting a consistent z offset with the EZABL. If I can't find a way that works reliably I will be using the BLTouch instead.

If that's happening when using a G30 command with a P parameter, increase the dive height (M558 H parameter). if it's happening when using a plain G30 command (or G30 S-1 etc.) then raise the head a little before the G30 command.

I am new to the Duet but have had the BLTouch v3 working for the last 3 weeks or so. There was no extra steps to do . Just plug directly to the pins described.
