Z axis not homing

@jay_s_uk so this is my deployprobe.g.

M280 P64 S10 ; deploy BLTouch

can you see anything?

jay_s_uk

@prior123 the P64 looks very odd. What number have you defined in your config?

PRIOR123

@prior123

Ive just changed it to

M280 P0 S10 ; deploy BLTouch

and seem to have worked however now the x axis is making a horrible noise and the same error message come out. however it does say its fully homed. Im properly confused now

jay_s_uk

@prior123 have you got the x axis travelling further than total axis travel?
If it fails to find the endstops on the first move but finds it on the second, that's usually when you get that message

PRIOR123

@jay_s_uk

you were right i was on +Xaxis not - (facepalm)

Thank you

PRIOR123

@jay_s_uk

Sorry to keep on but im now having an issue where the BOLD line isnt being read. The printer just keeps the x and Y axis by the end stops

G91 ; relative positioning
G1 H2 Z5 F6000 ; lift Z relative to current position
G1 H1 X230.5 Y235 F1800 ; move quickly to X and Y axis endstops and stop there (first pass)
G1 H2 X-5 Y-5 F6000 ; go back a few mm
G1 H1 X230.5 Y235 F360 ; move slowly to X and Y axis endstops once more (second pass)
G90 ; absolute positioning
G1 X-38 Y-10 F6000 ; go to first bed probe point and home Z
;G1 X-100 Y-50 F6000 ; go to first bed probe point and home Z
G30 ; home Z by probing the bed

:s

@prior123

if i put my finger in to make the printer think its homed the Z axis (on home all) im still getting this error too

G28
Error: in file macro line 5: M280: parameter 'P' too high

jay_s_uk

@prior123 can your printer even reach X-38 Y-10?
Post your config.g

jay_s_uk

@prior123 you may also want to check your retractprobe.g as well

@jay_s_uk This has stopped the warning sign! thank you

jay_s_uk

@prior123 all sorted now?

PRIOR123

@jay_s_uk

the homing error is fixed but the x and y positioning when homing the Z via home all isnt working

jay_s_uk

@prior123 because you're in absolute mode. Surely X-38 Y-10 is off your bed or even outside your axis limits

PRIOR123

@jay_s_uk so should i comment out that line then? sorry im pretty unknown when it comes to programming

jay_s_uk

@prior123 well where do you want the nozzle to move to when you do the G30?

PRIOR123

@jay_s_uk probably X-60 and Y-10

But i just changed that in the homeall.g and it doesnt seem to be doing anything

jay_s_uk

@prior123 how? That's way outside your bed limits set in M208 in your config

PRIOR123

@jay_s_uk this has helpe massively! thank you.

How can i work out the true measurements essentially ive defined it all no with

M208 X60 Y-10 Z0 S1 ; set axis minima
M208 X235 Y235 Z260 S0 ; set axis maxima

however im not trying to define the mesh coordinates and i am continuously getting this

Warning: Skipping grid point X=200.0, Y=180.0 because Z probe cannot reach it
Warning: Skipping grid point X=220.0, Y=180.0 because Z probe cannot reach it

@prior123 the Z probe can go further im just really confused why it thinks it cant
