CoreXY Configuration Advice
-
Evening All.
I have a Hypercube Evolution build with Duet Ethernet and BLTouch probe, which I have got working mostly, including auto bed compensation. However just tonight I've read that I should be running the G29 command on my CoreXY setup over the G32 and here is where I have hit a problem.
Basically as I initiate run mesh grid compensation it either complains there is no grid assigned to the G29 command or doesn't deploy the probe and the nozzle crashes into the bed.Ideally I'd like to see someones CoreXY settings if at all possible, so I can see where I am going wrong and what goes where, but failing that some idea of what could be out would be appreciated.
My config.g is as below;

I have a 12x12 corexy machine, that does bed leveling with an inductance probe. Below are my config.g and bed.g. How I do my leveling & bed.g looks to be different than the gcodes you use, but maybe it can help you troubleshoot.

Thanks buddy, appreciate your input. I'm going to look at your code tomorrow and make some comparisons.

If when you run G29 it complains that there is no grid defined, there are three possibilities:
1. No M557 command has been executed to define the grid. Avoid this by putting a suitable M557 command in config.g.
2. A M557 command has been executed, but there was something wrong with it. Run the M557 command from the GCode Console in DWC and see if it produces any error messages.
3. You have attempted to load an existing height map (usually using G29 S1), but it failed. This could be because you generated the height map using firmware 1.18 or earlier and then loaded it using firmware 1.19. The height map format changed between firmware versions.

Thanks David, I think I have it sorted now.
Basically I think the update to V1.19 has helped, as before on V1.18 it wouldn't deploy the probe which was my main problem. With V1.19 + your little update, it deploys the probe and seems to work a treat.Now to fine tune some settings.
