      I'm installing a mini height sensor on a duet 0.85. It flashes twice on start-up but I've put M558 P2 in my config file. The red led lights up when it goes close to the bed and goes off as the z axis moves up. I then send G31 and no matter what height I move the z axis too , I get zero appearing on the web interface regardless of if the red led is on or not. Do you think I may have a faulty sensor?

        Use M558 P1, not P2.

          I've been using the mini ir module for a while now…on a modified ormerod 2
          now i'm building another and i got another module ...this time its not working i'm using the same config

          with M558 P1
          and then G31
          i know the module boots up as it flashes red 4 times .....then its not responsive, no red light no triggering the value is zero
          so i tried another mode and it flashed twice... then checked my duet with the original ir sensor that came with the ormerod 2
          and its working so my pins are fine.
          i run ponterface, don't have a web interface cuz i had a faulty hanrun rj42 which kept giving me the AJAX and so i de-soldered it
          (hey question, it was a HanRun14/10 so should i use the same thing or can i go for some other version of the HanRun like the 10/25 or 12/18)
          anyhow checked the connections
          on AD12 its all good
          config

              Does the red LED on the sensor come on when you put your finger under the sensor? If it doesn't, ask for a replacement.
