RRF 3 with piezo z probe not working

Citystars

Hi,

i have the new firmware on my duet 2 wifi v3.2
Changed all the settings for the new firmware but i can't get it to work with the piezo z probe.
Im using the precision piezo on the extruder, it worked on the other firmware.
When i touch the extruder i see in the web the value change from 0 to 1000.
But the motor doesn't stop.
Thats what i found on the wiki:
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/RepRapFirmware_3_overview#Section_M558

Here is my config.g

; Endstops
M574 X2 S1 P"xstop"                                ; configure active-high endstop for high end on X via pin xstop
M574 Y2 S1 P"ystop"                                ; configure active-high endstop for high end on Y via pin ystop
M574 Z0 P"nil" 					     ; no Z endstop switch, free up Z endstop input							                     

; Z-Probe
M558 P5 C"!zstop" H2 F120 T3000  ; Z probe connected to Z endstop input
G31 P600 X0 Y0 Z-0.1   
M557 X25:280 Y25:270 S13       ; Define mesh grid

Thank you

What was the other firmware?

M574 Z0 P"nil"

You can delete that line entirely.

M558 P5 C"!zstop" H2 F120 T3000

Are you using G30 to test?

What version of precision piezo is it? It's sometimes recommended to use M558 P8 instead.

@Phaedrux

Thank you for the fast reply
The other version is was using was V2.02
In the other version i was using

; Endstops
M574  S1                          ; Set active high endstops
M574 X1 Y1 Z1 S0

; Z-Probe
M558 P7 I1 H2 R1 F100 T1000       ; Set Z probe type to switch and the dive height + speeds
G31 P600 X0 Y0 Z-0.05          ; Set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height

Im using the Precision Piezo Orion kit.

Not using the G30 to test.
Just making sure the bed is low enough and homing Z axis and pressing on the extruder to see if it stops.

Thank you

Ok, but how is it homing the Z axis?

Post your homing files.

Im just using the home Z axis button on the web.
They are standaard configurations from the RepRapFirmware Configuration Tool.

Ok, there's your problem. the part that homes the Z axis is using endstop homing commands rather than the probe.

In homeall change this

G1 H1 Z-385 F360        ; move Z down stopping at the endstop
G90                     ; absolute positioning
G92 Z0                  ; set Z position to axis minimum (you may want to adjust this)

To this

G1 X150 Y150 F6000 ; move probe to center of bed
G30 ; probe for Z0

Same for homez.

Thank you the homing works now.
I still have one question.

Would this homing homingall.g be allright?

I'd probably make that an absolute move and adjust it so that the probe is actually centered.
