Trouble homing Z with probe
-
i am currently setting up my core xy printer and got stuck at getting it to home all Axis correctly.
i am using an Duet 3 mini5+ with an toolboard 1lc V1.1 over wich the probe (BL-touch) is connected.when performing an G28 (home all) X and Y hone as they should.
for the Z home, the probe should move to the bed center, and do 2 probing runs (wich it does, and it also sets the Z value in the status tab in DWC).the problem is, that the Z axis is marked as Not homed after. the reported error message beeing:
"Stopped at height 3.467mm
ERROR: Failed to home axis Z".the Config.g is:

@oozzoo Don't use G30 S-1, use just G30 (with no options). G30 S-1 just reports the Z position, it does not set the Z=0 position. From the docs:
G30 without a P parameter This probes the bed starting at the current height. Depending on the value of the S parameter (0, -1, -2 or -3) it can be used to home the Z axis, to measure the Z probe trigger height, to adjust the Z offset of the current tool, or to adjust the Z probe trigger height. G30, G30 S0 or G30 S-4 or lower are just normal probes. When the probe is triggered, sets the Z coordinate to the probe trigger height. G30 S-1 probes and reports the Z value when the probe triggers. G30 S-2 probes and adjusts the tool Z offset to make the actual stop height match the configured value. A tool must be selected first when using G30 S-2. G30 S-3 probes and adjusts the probe trigger height to match the actual stop height.

@gloomyandy Thanks! that was it, it works now.
kind of happy but ashamed that all it was was an S-1 too much. -
