BLtouch issue
-
Hello, I'm having an issue with my Genuine BLtouch. For starters here is my setup.
Duet 3 using RepRap 3.1.1
SBC Raspberry pi 4B running DuetPi
Genuine BLtouch
Wired as instructed by the documentation, red->5v, yellow->out, black and brown connected and going to ground, white->inWhen I turn on my printer the bltouch deploys and retracts the probe, turning its red led off when deployed and on when retracted. When I send the deploy and retract commands these also work as expected. However after I home my X and Y axis I try to home my z axis I get the following "Error: Failed to enable endstops". I've tried switching from io7 to io4, adjusting the screw in the bltouch, changing the config file, making sure the extruder heater was off, same issue. One thing I have noticed is the Z probe status never seems to change from 0.
I've gone threw just about everything I can find and could use a hand, config.g below.

@vishiano said in BLtouch issue:
"Error: Failed to enable endstops".
Post your homing files please.
Use M115 to verify that you are actually running 3.1.1
Then send M98 P"config.g" and report any errors. -

M584 X0.0 Y0.1 Z0.2 E0.4:05
not related to bltouch, but you have a missing dot here
E0.4:05 => E0.4:0.5
(probably makes no difference, just visually disturbed me) -
Here is M115

@vishiano Only error from M98 is
M98 P"config.g"
Warning: M307: Heater 0 appears to be over-powered. If left on at full power, its temperature is predicted to reach 356CI have a separate issue with my heated bed which I believe to be unrelated to the BLtouch issue

@JoergS5 It bothered me enough that I fixed it

Your homing files are set to use endstops for X Y and Z, but you have only defined endstops for X and Y.
If you are using a probe for the Z axis, you need to change your homing files to use a G1 X Y move to position the probe, and then a G30 to probe the bed in place of this part:
G1 H1 Z505 F360 ; move Z up stopping at the endstop G90 ; absolute positioning G92 Z500 ; set Z position to axis maximum (you may want to adjust this)Or, if you are using an endstop for the Z axis, you need to define it along with the X Y and Z here:
; Endstops M574 X1 S1 P"io0.in" ; configure active-high endstop for low end on X via pin io0.in M574 Y1 S1 P"io1.in" ; configure active-high endstop for low end on Y via pin io1.in -
So something like the following for homez.g?
G90 ; relative positioning
G1 X250 Y250 ;move probe to center of bed
G30 ;probe bedOnly thing is this lowers the bed down instead of up.
-
@vishiano I raised the bed and changed a line in my config.g
G31 P0 X0 Y10 Z2.5 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
Now when I run homez.g the BLtouch deploys and I get
G28 Z
Error: Z probe already triggered at start of probing move
Error: Homing failed -
Try G31 p25 instead of p0.
If the bed is going the wrong way change the direction of the z axis rotation in m569.

@Phaedrux That did it, thanks for the help.
