inductive Z-probe problem after firmware upgrade

Th0mpy

Does the z-probe show triggered in DWC? Also, what board are you running?

If you are in fact inverted on the signal you can change this line:

M558 P5 C"zprobe.in" H5 F120 T6000

Add an "!" before the pin name so it reads like this:

M558 P5 C"!zprobe.in" H5 F120 T6000

It shows triggered when it should (gives a value of 1000 when approached with something metal).

Also i kinda solved it, tho im not sure if this is a solution "as intended"
Apparantly i forgot to tell the system to use the probe as a Z-stop.

So heres the updated config:

; Axis Limits
M208 X0 Y0 Z0 S1 ; set axis minima
M208 X300 Y198 Z160 S0 ; set axis maxima

; Endstops
M574 X1 S1 P"!xstop" ; configure switch-type (e.g. microswitch) endstop for low end on X via pin xstop
M574 Y1 S1 P"!ystop" ; configure switch-type (e.g. microswitch) endstop for low end on Y via pin ystop
M574 Z1 S2

; Z-Probe
M558 P5 C"^zprobe.in" H5 F120 T6000
;M558 P5 C"zprobe.in" H5 F120 T6000 ; set Z probe type to unmodulated and the dive height + speeds
G31 P500 X28 Y12 Z0.4 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
M557 X15:215 Y15:195 S20 ; define mesh grid

; Heaters

I added the M574 Z1 S2 line, then needed to slow the home script because of fast aproach
Tell me if im doing this wrong

Next are the heaters, configuring my slicer again, start working with my materials apart from generated G-code.
Enough to do

You shouldn't need the M574 Z1.... Let me look at my config, one moment.

Th0mpy

@rubinkingma
This should be all you need, this is mine:

M558 P5 C"^io3.in" H5 F600 T6000 A10          
G31 P500 X0 Y25 Z3.6
M557 X15:205 Y25:205 P4

What do you have in your homing files?

@rubinkingma said in inductive Z-probe problem after firmware upgrade:

; Z probe
M558 P5 X0 Y0 Z1 ; Analog Z probe, also used for homing the Z axis
G31 X 28 Y12 Z0.4 P500 ; Set the probe height and threshold (put your own values here)

You should remove the old RRF2 commands.

@th0mpy

Weird, when i dont it complains about "cant enable endstop".

Th0mpy

@rubinkingma

Can you paste in your homeall.g and homez.g?

Sorry, what board are you using? Just to confirm the pins.

rubinkingma

@phaedrux

Thank you for your reply, what part is RRF2 ?
I got to 3xx firmware today after running 1.19 since 2017

Used the configurator and while i could have dropped some old stuff in there looking for solutions i'm not at the point where i can see the difference between old and new config.

Ah, nevermind about the old config parts. I see now that it's two separate configs. I've edited your post to make it a bit clearer.

Can you send M122 and M98 P"config.g" in the console and copy and paste the results here?

I see the issue.

In the homez.g file change this:

G91 ; relative positioning
G1 H2 Z5 F600 ; lift Z relative to current position
G1 H1 Z-165 F1000 ; move Z down until the endstop is triggered (first pass)
G1 Z5 F1000 ; go back a few mm
G1 H1 Z-100 F360 ; move slowly to Z axis endstop once more (second pass)
G92 Z0 ; set Z position to axis minimum (you may want to adjust this)

to this

G1 X150 Y150 F6000
G91 ; relative positioning
G1 H2 Z5 F600 ; lift Z relative to current position
G90
G30

Phaedrux

Your homez.g file is still looking for an endstop. It needs to be changed to use G30 instead of a G1 H1 Z move in order to use the probe.

Your homeall.g is using both an endstop move AND a G30 to probe.

Here are the corrected files

@phaedrux
Stop replying so fast

But you're right, I missed the homeall.g error.

rubinkingma

Thanks to you both!

So it works now, this or next week ill start printing again and see what else i can find to complain about.

This used to be my "quick and dirty" machine, and after a few years almost the only machine i use.

I never took the time to really make it print nicely because i had a E3D volcano on it with a 0.8 Nozzle.

Now with all these cool changes i want to dial it in with a 0.6 nozzle and make it a really nice machine.

Its a core XY "hypercube" remix with hiwin rails for the bed.
It should be able to make very nice prints if i just spend some time with it

@rubinkingma

Excellent! Happy Printing!
