Other analog Scanning Z Probes?

[dc42]

@SanderLPFRG I think there are two pieces of work needed to support other types of scanning Z probe: (1) allowing general analog-output Z probes to be used in scanning mode; and (2) supporting analog Z probes over CAN.

@dc42 said in Other analog Scanning Z Probes?:

Yeahh the biggest issue is that I do not want the loadcell configured as a scanning-type probe, but as a normal analog probe, which is prohibited for CANboards. so I am leaning to version 2.

I am trying to build new firmware for the 6HC (to remove the error it raises when remote Z probe type is not 8, 9 or 11) but I am getting building errors regarding the CoreN2G...

"../src/TinyUsbInterface.cpp:28:10: fatal error: tusb.h: No such file or directory"

@dc42 please note that the tusb.h file is actually present

@SanderLPFRG looks like you are using the wrong tinyusb project. The one we use is called Libtinyusb.

@dc42 I just tried to build with the latest master branch of the libtinyusb from here; https://github.com/Duet3D/LibTinyusb

I also tried the 3.6.0 beta2 release, which is the same as the rrf sourcecode I am trying to build

still did not work, same error

@SanderLPFRG Got it working, version mismatch.

@dc42 is it okay if I try to enable this functionality in a branch via github? If I manage I will make a pull request for you to integrate it into the main branches.

Lot to learn for myself, but I like a challenge.

@SanderLPFRG the firmware is open source so you can do what you like. There is already some support for analog probes in the expansion board firmware because the scanning inductive Z probe is in effect an analog probe.
