I can't get my BLTouch to work
-
I have a Duet 2 wifi board I installed in my Creality CR-5. I hated that printer until I put the Duet in it. I configured it myself and it works like a champ. I put a Duet in my custom cartesian printer and I can't get my BLTouch to work. My custom cartesian worked before, but not as well as my CR-5. Below are examples of what is in my config. I have tried all 3 and M401/M402 do nothing.
This is what is in my CR-5, that I love:
; Z-Probe
G31 P500 X10 Y10 Z3.15 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
M557 X15:275 Y15:195 S20 ; define mesh grid
M950 S0 C"exp.heater3" ; create servo pin 0 for BLTouch
M558 P9 C"^zprobe.in" H5 F120 T6000 ; set Z probe type to bltouch and the dive height + speedsThis is what came on the SD card in my new Duet board:
; Z-Probe
M558 P1 C"zprobe.in+zprobe.mod" H5 F120 T6000 ; set Z probe type to unmodulated and the dive height + speeds
M558 H30 ;*** Remove this line after delta calibration has been done and new delta parameters have been saved
G31 P500 X-50 Y-15 Z2.5 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height

@Phaedrux I have posted all the files you requested. I'm sorry it took so long.
-
Is this a genuine BLTouch or a Creality version? The wiring is a bit different between them. Compare here: https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Connecting_hardware/Z_probe_connecting#bltouch
Regardless, your config looks ok, so I suspect either a wiring issue, or the probe itself isn't working.

@Phaedrux I had a bad cable. All is well with the BLTouch. Thank you
