Solved G28 Z homing failed BL-Touch - No other Z-endstop installed
-
Hello Everyone
i'm relatively new to RRF3 and Duet in general. Last time it was possible for me to get homing for X and Y axle done.
I installed for many reasons a BL-Touch Sensor to get leveling on my large print area done. This seemed like an easy task, but unfortunatly i come to a stall when i encounter always the same error. So i thought i should ask the community again on what exactly to change in the settings or wiring.
My system is a duet wifi2 in combination with a duex2. I wired the BL-Touch servo to PWM1 on the duex and the Z-Probe to the according port on the DuetWifi2. I found a guide which seems originally written for RRF2 (https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/7972/bl-touch-install-success) and i changed a few things to match up with RRF3. This is where my struggles begun. After changing every nescessary thing to run on RRF3 i startet my machine only to find out that for G30 i need G28 for the axle to be possible to be level. So now im confused if I have to add an additional max Z Switch for my printer. I would rather go foreward with just the BL-Touch installed. I could really use some help.Here is my config:

@flex12 If using a z-probe, you don't need a separate endstop on Z. I only use my BLtouch for Z-homing on my printer, Here's my config for my BLtouch on my Duet Wifi (RRF 3.2.2):
; Z-Probe M574 Z1 S2 ; Set endstops controlled by probe M558 P9 C"^zprobe.in" H3 F100 T2500 A10 S0.005 ; define BLtouch on zprobe input M950 S0 C"exp.heater7" ; define servo pin G31 X42 Y-5 Z2.45 P25 ; define offsets & triggerThe differences I can see are:
- M558, I use the Z-Probe pin on the Duet. I think you should be using this too (not the endstop pin as your command suggests). I think the endstop piun name might also be wrong (hence the Duet doesn't find the Z probe for the G30 line in your homez.g.
- You have a M280 command in your config which will deploy the probe pin when the config is run at startup. Unless you have a good reason for this, I'd take it out (note that the BLtouch will automatically do its self test when it is powered on).
Try running M98 P"config.g" from the console in DWC. That will run the config file then spit out any errors it finds. You won't see these when the config is loaded at boot because the web interface isn't up then.

@flex12 said in G28 Z homing failed BL-Touch - No other Z-endstop installed:
M558 P9 C"^zstop.in" H5 F120 T3000
Yes that is likely your main problem. Change zstop.in to zprobe.in.
Where exactly is the bltouch white wire connected? It should be to the zprobe input pin.
Can you send M401 and M402 to test if the bltouch servo control is working correctly?

Thank you for helping me. My 3D-Printer finally is able to home properly and performe a mesh bed leveling procedure.
