      I'm having trouble with a new install of a genuine BL touch (3.1) on a Duet2 Wifi (3.4 firmware) not deploying. It deploys and retracts for its test on bootup. I have wiring just as in the Duet3d documentation using the same commands for the Heater3 pin. I had FSR setup before, but could never get the 3 sensors to trigger dependably. The FSR lines are commented out in config.g. This is on a delta printer. I'm not sure what it could be and would appreciate some help if possible.

      I added my config.g file below.

        What do you have in your deployprobe.g and retractprobe.g files?

        How have you tested the pin deploy?

        What happens when you send M401 and M402?

        What happens when you send G30?

        Are you absolutely sure you're connected to heater pin 3 on the expansion header? Have you tried heater pin 7?

          Thanks @phaedrux.

          It appears to be working now. Before my M401 M402 weren't working either. I believe was on heater 3, used two 4 pin connectors (picture attached).

          I changed the yellow wire to heater7 and changed the number on the one line of code, and M401 and M402 work as expected. Sending G30 the probe now deploys and the effector starts its descent. Now I can work on finishing the setup.

          Thanks again!
