Another BL touch config question: Y-offset this time

[jallen810]

@Phaedrux i will make these changes tomorrow. In the meantime to answer your question about BL self-test, I mean the power up sequence that the BLtouch does when m/c is powered on. It will cycle the probe 2-3 times then retract and give a solid red light, if wired correctly. If I wire it as you recommend, this does not happen. If I try to do a G30, the probe will not extend and thus will plunge into bed.
But if I wire it like BeTrue3D recommends, it works fine.

You can use any free heater pin on the expansion connector to connect the servo wire, you just need to specify which one in the P parameter of the M280 commands in deployprobe.g and retractprobe.g. So try connecting the servo control wire as in the your first photo, and the other BLTouch wires as in the second. If that gives you the self test at power up, then change the M307 and M280 commands to refer to the correct heater pin (M307 H parameter, and M280 P parameter). I think that is Heater 7 for that alternative servo wire connection.

I suspect a bad wire connection based on your photo.

Okay. I made all of these changes to my config files (see them here) and when I boot up I get the BLtouch doing the self-test when I power on.
Now I have a problem with the probe deploying the probe when I try to:
1.) Calibrate the Z-offset per this page's instructions, I'm referring to M401/2 and G30
2.) Manually (with macro's in G-Drive link) try to deploy/retract/self-test/reset

Below Pic is EXACTLY how my system is currently wired. I'm not changing that again, to avoid confusion in future.
The connections are solid dupont-connections that are hot-glued in place

Here is my actual wiring:

Deploy probe isn't working because you have I0 when it should be I1

M280 P3 S10 I0

[jallen810]

@Phaedrux yeah I was playing with the "I" value, forgot to change that back. Just tried again with M280 P3 S10 I1 and that doesn't work either..
Should M401 also do the same thing? If so, it doesn't work either

[Phaedrux]

This indicates an open circuit connection in the yellow wire.

M401 and M402 commands execute the deploy and retract macros and allow the firmware to keep track of the state of the pin.

@Phaedrux Great... lol YAY more wire tracing... just what I wanted. Thanks Phaedrux.

Okay. Everything is finally working with probe.

One last, hopefully, easy question regarding fans.
Problem: Both my Heatsink fan & Part Cooling fans come on when I power up.
Facts: Heatsink is plugged physically into Fan1 port
AND my Part Cooling fan, plugged into Fan0 port

As I've learned, only the heatsink fan should come on in this situation. I played around trying to make Fan0 be thermostatically controlled >45C but it doesn't seem to want to be... Here is the fan & tool related stuff in my config. Please oh wise one, tell me where I am being a bonehead.

M106 P0 C"PartCool_FAN0" S0 I0 F500 H1 T45

You've got the thermostatic part mixed up. It should be

M106 P0 C"PartCool_FAN0" S0 I0 F500 H-1
M106 P1 C"HeatSink_FAN1" S1 I0 F500 H1 T45

What if that didn't work? I confirmed polarity and port. It is wired correctly. Is there another file that might contain something from the RRF configuration tool that could be over-riding?

EDIT: I just tied commenting out all of the fan allocations just to see if that would kill all of the fans, but instead all of them still came on...
This would seem to me that there is a wiring issue on my end but the fans are plugged to the right ports...
