My 6HC seems to think I have a CAN connected which I do not

@darylprice the correct P value to use in the M280 command is the value you used for S in the M950 command to assign the servo pin.

I want to personally thank all of you for helping me. I know you have to deal with us newbies all the time.
Hope I listed all of the people who helped. I am sure I will be reaching out again.
Thanks Daryl

Quick question. What is the safest way to shutdown my printer before I cut the power?
Daryl

jay_s_uk

@darylprice just pull the power. theres no shutdown needed

gloomyandy

@darylprice Are you running in SBC mode or standalone?

darylprice

@gloomyandy SBC PI 4

jay_s_uk

@darylprice in that case shut the pi down first.
see here https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Machine_configuration/SBC_setup#shutdown-or-reboot-sbc

@darylprice That's quite odd. In order to replicate this issue I got an original BLTouch and that one works well with the PWM values generated by the configtool.

@chrishamm @dc42

I am having problems with my BLTouch. M401 and M402 work fine, but If I run G30 it says it is already triggered. I have been reading some of the forum info on other people having this issue, but I really cannot find the answer. I have two BLTouches and they both do the same thing.
Any Advice

@darylprice said in My 6HC seems to think I have a CAN connected which I do not:

M558 K0 P9 C"!io4.in" H5 F120 T600 ; configure BLTouch probe via slot #0

Remove the ! from io4.in. The exclamation mark inverts the signal of the pin, so it's being seen as triggered when idle, hence the error.

Could you point me to the best way to build my bed.g file. I really need to figure out bed compensation and build a matrix

For that question I think you would be better off starting a new thread as this thread has worked it's way through your initial problem and has gotten quite long.

Restate your current status with the printer, some details about it, include your config and homing files, and any issues that you currently face.
