Z-Probe Won't Invert - NPN Proximity sensor
-
I have a LJ12A3-4-Z-BX NPN proximity sensor. Everything seems to work fine, but I cannot get the Z-Probe inverted.
Here is my Config Info:
; Endstops M574 X1 S1 P"!xstop" ; configure active-high endstop for low end on X via pin !xstop M574 Y1 S1 P"!ystop" ; configure active-high endstop for low end on Y via pin !ystop M574 Z1 S2 ; configure Z-probe endstop for low end on Z ; Z-Probe M558 P5 C"^zprobe.in" I1 H10 F120 T6000 ; set Z probe type to unmodulated and the dive height + speeds G31 P500 X40.5 Y0 Z2.5 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height M557 X15:215 Y15:195 S20 ; define mesh gridWith Z axis is away from the bed, I get the following results:
m119 Endstops - X: at min stop, Y: at min stop, Z: at min stop, Z probe: at min stop ok
m119 with a screwdriver triggering it.
m119 Endstops - X: at min stop, Y: at min stop, Z: not stopped, Z probe: not stopped ok
I've tried all sorts of config changes and commands via YAT and can't get it to change the behavior. using the m558 command I never see it say it is inverted:

@toy4x4 said in Z-Probe Won't Invert - NPN Proximity sensor:
M558 P5 C"^zprobe.in" I1 H10 F120 T6000
I1is no longer used to invert in RRF3. Instead you use a!pbefore the pin name. So you should useM558 P5 C"^!zprobe.in" H10 F120 T6000 -
Perfect thanks! Not sure how I missed that change. I'm good now!

Just kinda bumping basically to keep this abit alive...
But also to point out, that this should probably be somewhere in the documentation for how to set up the board. There is only a mention of "you should put ! infront of the pin name to invert", but for people who have never used this board before, that means nothing to them..
I had spent nearly 3-4 hours trying to get my Z-Probe to work again since all the typical things I know of that worked on my Duet Wifi, does not work on this board at all. Having seen "you need to put ! infront of the pin name" meant nothing to me. I had no clue what I was supposed to be putting the ! infront of. It wasn't until a completely unrelated search that magically brought this thread up, that I saw an actual example of what people keep talking about. So thank you Phaedrux! I would still be destroying my hair for the next few hours if you hadn't posted an actual example of the code, instead of just simply saying "Put an ! at the front" like everyone else

@HikariNoKitsune You can familiarize yourself with the specifics of RRF3 here.

Starting fresh with any new firmware is going to have a learning curve.

@Phaedrux That it will
Thankfully there are forums and wiki's to help people
