Tronxy X5SA-400 Z-probe Calibration issue

cbrassel

Hi to all !

I have upgraded my tronxy X5SA-400 with the duet2-wifi (fw 3.2.0) and I have managed everything to working fine but I have one last problem, I'm not able to calibrate the Z-Probe !

Whatever I try after Calibration my nozzle stick a couple of millimeters over the bed which is really sad !

I have follow this procedure : Test And Calibrating the Z probe but each time I restart the nozzle stick a couple of mm over the bed.

The first try was with this Z-probe config :

; Z-Probe
M574 Z1 S2
M558 P1 C"!zprobe.in" H5 F100 T36000 
G31 P250 X-32 Y-10 Z1.89                            
M557 X60:320 Y60:320 S65

After some research I tried to change the probe type to P5 :

; Z-Probe
M574 Z1 S2
M558 P5 C"!zprobe.in" H5 F100 T36000 
G31 P250 X-32 Y-10 Z1.89                            
M557 X60:320 Y60:320 S65

I have adjusted the G31 Z value as indicated in the calibration procedure but nothing changed after homing and getting the Z to 0 I'm not touching the bed at all.

Has anybody I great idea ?

did you change your homing scripts to use the probe?

I don't think so, if I remember right they are more or less the defaults :

My homez.g :

; homez.g
; called to home the Z axis

Veti

you did not.

2 options
if you did not change anything in your config. load the config.json into the configurator and change the z endstop to probe. then use the newly generated homing scripts.

GREAT ! thank you

Everything is now working as expected!

cbrassel

it was the G30 that was missing :

the new code :

; Uncomment the following lines to lift Z after probing
G91                    ; relative positioning
G1 Z5 F100             ; lift Z relative to current position
G90                    ; absolute positioning
G1 X80 Y50 F6000 ; put head over the centre of the bed, or wherever you want to probe
G30 ; lower head, stop when probe triggered and set Z to trigger height
