Problem commissioning Smart Effector.
-
Hi,
I have the smart effector installed and got to Commissioning step 8 without issue but when issuing G30 and tapping the nozzle to trigger the probe the green LED Does light but it doesn't stop immediately though it does stop eventually after it has moved 220mm and gives the Error "Z Probe was not triggered during probing move".
How do I best troubleshoot this?
-
OK after digging around I think my issue is that I am using reprap firmware v1.18 and type 8 is not supported until v1.20, can anyone confirm this?
-
Looks correct that it it wasn't introduced until 1.20
I'd say update to whichever the most current that supports your board. Either 2.05.1 for Duet 2 or 1.26.1 for Duet 0.6/0.85
Of course read the release notes for the releases in between as there may be changes to your config needed.

@dc42 I am confused on which files to download for my Duet 0.8.5
Do I need the RepRapFirmware.bin and the DuetWebControl-1.22.6.zip?
What is the Symbols-RepRapFirmware-Duet085.zip?
Is there are recommended way to update from 1.18.1 to the latest?
I read through the upgrade notes on all version from 1.18.1 to 1.26.1 I think the following pertain to me:
-
Important! If you use an IR Z probe or some other type that does not need to be deployed, delete the files sys/deployprobe and sys/retractprobe.g if they exist, because they are now called automatically. You can do this in the System Files Editor of the web interface.
-
Important! When upgrading a Duet WiFi from 1.18.2 or earlier firmware, see the important notes at https://duet3d.com/wiki/Upgrading_to_DuetWiFiFirmware_1.19.
-
Height map files created with firmware 1.18 or earlier cannot be read by firmware 1.19, so you will need to run G29 S0 again to generate a new heightmap.csv file
-
Every heater that you use must now be configured using a M305 command with a P parameter that identifies the heater. Previously, if a heater used default thermistor parameters, you could omit the M305 command for that heater.
-
If you are using PT100 sensors, make sure you don't have any additional parameters in your M305 commands for those heaters left over from when you were using thermistors. In particular, the R parameter now configures the reference resistor value on the PT100 interface board, and must be omitted or set to 400 when using the Duet3D PT100 daughter board.
-
Previously, you could omit the P0 parameter when configuring fan 0. The P0 parameter is now compulsory when configuring fan 0. The only parameters now recognised in M106 commands with no P parameter are S and R.
I have tried to use the RRF Config Tool to generate a new config but it only seems to go to firmware version 1.21. I have attached the generated config and I wonder if it seems suitable for my Printer. Is there anything that needs to be changed to use Firmware version 1.26.1?

@KeithW said in Problem commissioning Smart Effector.:
Do I need the RepRapFirmware.bin and the DuetWebControl-1.22.6.zip?
Yes. Or you can use DWC 2.0.7. Your choice.
What is the Symbols-RepRapFirmware-Duet085.zip?
They are files that I archive for debugging purposes, when users report unexpected resets.
Is there are recommended way to update from 1.18.1 to the latest?
Looks like you've already checked the upgrade notes, so you should be OK using your existing config.g and homing files, if you check them for the issues you listed.
