Some help with Bltoutch
-
Hello, i just got a BlTouch and i have tried to look at the guied but i just cant get it to work.
first thing, is the Bltoutch suposed to replace the Z-limit switch all togethere ? i dont know if i like it if its suposed to. these are my settings, if anyone have some time over just to see what is wrong i whold be realy happy
i have a DuetWifi2 that i got maby 4 month ago, and i am using the pins as shown in the guide 
my BlToutch in mounted on the hotend fan, might not be the best place but the only place i can right now.

it is.
however due to the change from switch to bltouch a lot of changes are required in the config and the homing files. and it looks like you missed some.i would suggest you create a new config in the configurator while inputing your old values.
problems in your config
M307 H4 A-1 C-1 D-1 ; disable heater on PWM channel for BLTouch
picture looks like heater3 not 4M305 P0 T100000 B4138 R4700 ; set thermistor + ADC parameters for heater 0
M305 P1 T100000 B4138 R4700 ; set thermistor + ADC parameters for heater 1B4138 is the default and wrong for your thermistors.
M574 X1 Y1 Z1 S1 ; set active high endstops
you did not enable the z probe -
This is what i got when i redid the config, and but in the right values for the bed and nozzle. and pin 8 is heater 3 or am i wrong ?

hehe i missread your post a bit, about heater 3 and 4, that was one of the mistakes i made i can see now
-
@Chrabban
is it working now? -
sadly no, the prob is just sitting there red and inside, it wont drop, it started to go down and wanted to probe but that is not a good idea if the prob hasent droped so i had to turn it of so it dosent destroy my bed

Please post your homez.g, homeall.g, deployprobe.g and retractprobe.g files.

M280 P3 S90 ; retract BLTouch -
@Chrabban said in Some help with Bltoutch:
M280 P3 S10
so when you issue this command manually nothing happens?
there have been many reports with bad cabling on the bltouch side. check the crimp job of those wires.
-
Nothing happens when i try that command
Allt the cables is good, just tried them with my multimeter
-
And you're certain you're using heater pin 3 as the servo control pin?
And you're certain you have the heater pin 3 unbound as a heater in config.g?
And you're certain you have no commands for heater pin 3 in config-override.g? -
As you are not using a DueX expansion board, you need to add parameter I1 (that's letter-i digit-1) to the M280 commands in deployprobe.g and retractprobe.g. See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_a_Z_probe#Section_Software_setup_Duet_2_WiFi_Ethernet_running_RepRapFirmware_Num_2.

it is working now
it was the I1 that was the last thing, tnx for all the help
