      I have tried RRF 3.1.1 and 3.2 beta 4 and had the same issue on both. I am currently on 3.1.1

      I do not have a BLTouch available to try, but have tried BLTouch versions 1.1 and 2.2 that I pulled off of working printers to troubleshoot with. I am currently using a knock off.

      The problem I am having is when I probe I continue to get -5.000 readings. It appears to be z homing just fine with some notables I will mention below, but when I try to G32 I get missing probes or the following:

      G32
      Leadscrew adjustments made: -5.000 -5.000 -5.000, points used 3, (mean, deviation) before (-5.000, 0.000) after (-0.000, 0.000

      I cannot get a 4 point to complete all of the probes. Only the 3 point seems to actually register the probes enough to get that adjustment readout.

      I have also tried a probe test and I get the same thing:

      M98 P"0:/macros/Probe_Test"
      G32 bed probe heights: -5.000 -5.000 -5.000 -5.000 -5.000 -5.000 -5.000 -5.000 -5.000 -5.000, mean -5.000, deviation from mean 0.000

      I also notice that even when I z home the first probe will read 0.75mm the same as my probe offset. The next 2 will read -4.25 which is where i think that -5.000 is coming from.

      Here are the uploads.

            Any why are you measuring 4 points when you only have 3 screws?

              I started out with 3 and some other that had working configs with the same printer use 4 i guess. I am confused on that one as well.

                Ideally, you should be aiming to probe close to your Z screws as that's where the adjustments take place.

                  swapping with the g28 still has the 4th probe missing

                  G32
                  Error: Z probe was not triggered during probing move

                    should i change it back to 3 point to try to figure this out?

                      I would change back to 3 points.
                      Just make sure they're in the same order as your M671. So front left, front right and rear middle

                        with the 3 point i still get this:
                        G32
                        Leadscrew adjustments made: -5.000 -5.000 -5.000, points used 3, (mean, deviation) before (-5.000, 0.000) after (-0.000, 0.000)

                              I can't see anything in there that would cause the issue.
                              Could you reboot the board and run the probing again?
                              Could you also post the updated bed file?

                                    Nothing else I can add on this one.
                                    Maybe one for @Phaedrux or @dc42 to comment on?

                                        G31 X-30 Y0 Z0.75 P25 ; Set the offsets for the bltouch

                                        change to P1000
                                        P25 could be triggered by interference.

                                        No change

                                          I just want to make sure..... does anyone think it is the bltouch not being v3.1? I'm debating ordering one since I don't have one, but my gut tells me that is not the issue.

                                            M558 P9 C"^io7.in" H5 R1 F120 T6000 A5 S0.02 B1 ; Define the bltouch input on io7.in

                                            can you change the H5 to H6 and see if the result changes?
