      Back for more help on the BLTouch

      BLTouch will not power on when printer is turned on, only with disconnecting the wire harness and reinserting the harness on the BLTouch will it power on, and perform self test.

      Also started getting the following error out of the blue, after many successful prints

      Error: Z probe already triggered before probing move started

      Look at the web interface and I see that Z-Probe is triggered and showing 1000.

      BLTouch light is solid red, and running the alarm release macro does not disengage the sensor.

        please update to 2.04 release and retest. there was a problem with bltouch.

        M305 P0 T100000 B4138 R4700 ; Set thermistor + ADC parameters for heater 0
        M305 P1 T100000 B4138 R4700 ; Set thermistor + ADC parameters for heater 1

        B4138 is the default and almost certainly wrong for your thermistors

        also post your config overwrite.

          Currently running 2.04RC3

          I do not have a config overwrite

            why do you have
            M501 ; Load saved parameters from non-volatile memory
            then?

            2.04RC3

            Please update to 2.04

              My guess is I deleted my old config override when I made changes and just have not ran M500 anytime since then.

                  next step make a new extension wire. the ones supplied with the bltouch are a common source of problems.

                        alright after re calibrating 5 times it is now finally working. Not sure why it took that many tries as nothing different but its working now. Other than new issue that cropped up but that is in a new thread
