Duet 2 Wifi with BLTouch
-
I have a large format printer that I am attempting to use a Duet 2 Wifi with. I have gone through the tutorials for setup, and have everything working except for my BLTouch sensor. I followed the tutorial for this and have it wired correctly.
I.E. positive to 5v, negative to ground, and signal to heater 3 on the 3 wire cable, and white to Z probe in and black to ground on the Z probe plugIt responds to the commands M280 P0 S10 and M280 P0 S90 for lowering and raising the sensor, but the webview does not display a change in Z probe status.
When I run g30 the bed immediately begins to raise towards the head without the probe ever deploying which leads to me having to use E-stop to prevent it from crashing. What do I need to do to fix this?

When the state always reads 1000 make sure to check if the white wires are crimped correctly/a signal can pass through it.
Test it with a multimeter. -

It responds to the commands M280 P0 S10 and M280 P0 S90 for lowering and raising the sensor
But does it respond to M401 and M402? I'm guessing not if your deploy and retract macros are as you've shown them.

Deployprobe.g:
M280 P3 S10 I1
Retractprobe.g:
M280 P3 S90 I1Are you using M280 P3 or M280 P0? It should be P0 because that's the servo index number used in your M950 command to create the servo control pin.
M307 H3 A-1 C-1 D-1
Remove that command. Not used in RRF3.

Update your firmware and DWC to 3.1.1
@eculver said in Duet 2 Wifi with BLTouch:
but the webview does not display a change in Z probe status.The web view may not display 0 or 1000 accurately for the BLTouch because it only flashes briefly as triggered and immediately resets the pin, so it's not a good indication of function. Once you have the deploy and retract sorted use this to test the probe.

Thank You, Fixing the Deploy and retract probe files solved my problem. I was unclear as to what was being defined on those files and thought they had been set correctly.
