Smart Effector v4 z probe not lighting up

@vmog23 said in Smart Effector v4 z probe not lighting up:
RepRap 3.5.4 with WiFi server v 1.23 and Duet Web Control 3.4.6.
Sounds like haven't updated everything. Your firmware and DWC version need to match. If they don't starnge things can happen.
I suggest you upload the complete release zip file to DWC setup page and have it update everything again. If you still see the DWC version mismatch, clear your browser cache.
Do that and see if your probe issue remains. If so, please share your full config.g and homing files, and and some photos of the effector and wiring.

@vmog23 when you power up the machine, watch the green LED. After a second or two it should flash a number of times to report it's status. See https://docs.duet3d.com/en/Duet3D_hardware/Accessories/Smart_Effector#troubleshooting-led-flash-codes.
-
@vmog23 Also post your config.g. Most likely you ran some commands to get it working, but didn't put them in config.g, so they were lost when you turned the printer off.

Thanks for the reply's I have updated the DWC version and still have the issue. I do not get any flashes from the LED on power up at all. Here are the config and home files. Thanks again for all the help!
-
Can you post some close up photos of the smart effector?
-
Here is a picture of the wiring.
-
When you checked for continuity, did you check on the solder pins on the back side of the PCB to ensure it's making it through the crimp?
And just to confirm there are now no LEDs lighting up at all, but they used to?
-
Yes I did check all the way through the pins. The only LED that doesn't light up at all is the green one for the z probe. All other LED lights do work perfectly fine, which is why I'm so confused.
-
It may be nothing, but can you try adding a leading zero to te G31 Z value?
G31 P500 X0 Y0 Z-.1G31 P500 X0 Y0 Z-0.1Also can you send M122 and M98 P"config.g" in the gcode console and report the results here?
-
I have added the leading 0 to the config with no change and here are the resultsM122_Results.txt
The M98 p"config.g" returned
M98 P"config.g"

Please try this
To revert to factory settings, send command M672 S131:131. The green LED will flash 5 times if the command is accepted. When you subsequently power up the Smart Effector, the green LED will flash twice to indicate that default settings are being used. -
I sent the command and it did not flash at all. I had tried that earlier as well but got no LED response but in the console it looks like it was successful.

When and where did you purchase the smart effector?
Can you please disassemble the smart effector and test it with only the connection to the Duet? Also please provide a clear photo of both sides of the PCB.
-
It was purchased on 2/1/2024 from printed solid. I just took it apart and only the connection to the duet board and still same results. Here are the pictures of it.
-
Can you remove the mounting hardware as well so we can see the traces underneath?
If you have a multimeter, could you try measuring the voltage between each end of L1 and ground, or the voltage across ceramic capacitor C3?
-
Oh sorry, here it is naked. Lol
-
If you have a multimeter, could you try measuring the voltage between each end of L1 and ground, or the voltage across ceramic capacitor C3?
-
On one side of L1 it reads 3.3v and on the other about 58mv and across C3 I read about 58mv as well.
-
@vmog23 is there actually a component in position L1? From your photos I think it's either missing, or it is very well camouflaged! (i.e. the same colour as the PCB).
-
Looking at it again you are correct. There is an outline and solder on L1 but no component.
