      Hi…

      I am triying to do work BlTouch.... and afted hundred of test, i have discovery somethigs:

      First, what the diference beteewn

      Deploy BlTouch: M280 P0 S10 (This is the gcode, in Antlabs web) and M280 P3 S10 I1 (This is the gcode in this forum)
      Retract BLTouch: M280 P0 S90 (This is the gcode, in Antlabs web) and M280 P3 S90 I1 (This is the gcode in this forum)

      M280 - This send the gcode to servo.
      P0 - The number of the servo... When is P0 and when is P3???
      S0/S90 - Angle/Microsegonds, suppose, the duration of the pulse in the order to deploy o retract...
      I1 - I dont know....i haven't see this flag in wiki...

      I think i am in the way, now i dont have, but near miss... one word SOLENOID.

      BlTouch have in upper and screew to adjust the "force" of solenoid....

      Well after test i have discover:

      • When, in start screen, Sensors/Z Probe is Greyed, BlTouch is in error mode, and no signal sends.
      • The BlTouch, respond at the commands of Deploy, Retract and Test.
      • When BlTouch was working in Smoothieware Board... Works correct. The issues has come when i have changed Smoothieware to DUET3D WIFI board.
      • The blue led is on, depend the position of top screw, i have read that is the force of solenoid activates. In this moment i am doing test with this, tightening and loosening the screw, i am following this metod (please check)
        A- Turn off printer
        B- I loosen the screw until exit above the Bltouch about 1 mm
        C- Turn on printer
        D- See if blue led is on, if this is the case E, and is of I
        E- Power off the printer
        F- I tighten the screw 1/4 turn
        G- POwer on the printer
        H- Go to D
        I- Send by console, this commands M280 P3 S10 I1 (deploy) M280 P3 S90 I1 (retract)
        J- In this moment i am here... the problem in this moment, when i send the command to retract, BlTouch enter in error mode (Start to blink) and i have to send a reset
        gcode... and when i do this, BlTouch, belive, dont send to duet his actual position...

      I have measure tension, when is retracted or deployed (i dont remember) and can read with multimeter 3,1.... a little low? No. Or is suficient for Duet understand that it is activated?
      There is some sytem for this tension will be more near 3,3V?

        P3 says which output pin you are using (heater 3 on the expansion connector). I1 means invert the signal, because the heater signals on the expansion connector are inverted.
