Error: Z probe already triggered

Luxmotion

Hi guys

So I finally got everything working.

Went to manually calibrate my kossel xl and found that I could get the xyz towers to pass the paper test but couldn't get the z height to sit level.

It always ended up higher after I calibrated the tower points.

So I decided to use the z probe that came with the printer in hopes it'll help me out abit, which is a Micro switch bolted to the effector and made from a safety pin, pen spring and a paper clip.

Anyway so I have wired the endstop switch to E0 and without the 3.3v pin. Changed to mode 4, then I tried adding the command m558 with the l1 parameter.

Setup the bed and config files and went to auto calibrate and it gave me an error at every point that the z probe has been triggered before the probe as begun.

I have changed the m558 l1 parameter to l0 with no success, m119 showed z min stop active and i just cant seem to be able to get it to revert the micro switch to think that it's not active when it is active.

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks in advance guys

Is it the sort of Z probe that you need to deploy by drawing the arm across a belt so that the probe tip springs into place?

Luxmotion

It could be but I have just been putting it into place by hand. Then trying to get the endstop switch to revert so that it activates when released rather then being pushed.

My max endstops act like that when I have them set on S0 instead of S1.

So thought that this z prove would be the same concept.
