BLTouch not working after Firmware upgrade
-
Hi i just upgraded my Duet Ethernet to the newest reprap firmware 3.x
Before i was using reprap 2.x and my BLTouch worked good. I have not changed any connections. I've included my config.g and how i have the BLTouch wired, hoping someone can figure out what i did wrong. I used the reprap config tool. When I 1st turn on the printer the bltouch glows red, the probe deploys and retracts and then it sits there flashing red , it doesn't respond when i try to deploy or retract from the console and resetting the bltouch from the console doesn't help.

Did you also update your deploy and retract macros? The config tool would have generated new ones as well.
-
@Phaedrux yes, im using the ones that reprap config created.
-
Can you post them?
If sending M401 M402 doesn't deploy or retract either the servo pin you're using doesn't match the pin name used in M950, or the servo index needs to change to 0 to match your M950 command, which would make sense if you were still using your old files, but not if you're using the new files from the generator.

also this, not sure if helps you
-
Those look correct. Are you sure you're using heater3 pin? Try heater7 pin instead?

My friend i appreciate the time you have spent trying to help. However it appears nothing was wrong. i had a close look at the bltouch and discovered there was a string of PETG wrapped around the bltouch pin, once i removed that all works as it should. Cant believe i didn't notice that earlier.
