[3.6.0-rc.1] Z-probe starts untriggered even when the probe is.

tcamguil

Hello,

I am running a 3D-printer with a klicky as the Z-probe.
Meaning the Z-probe is not on the toolhead most of the time

When I boot up the printer the Z-probe value is at 0 even if the Z-probe is not on the toolhead (ie: open-circuit, ie: should be triggered).
But as soon as I load and unload the probe once the Z-probe value is now correctly set to 1000.
I tried to set the Z-probe as a scanning probe and it correctly displays a value of 65000 as soon as the printer boots.

I haven't updated the config.g file after upgrading from 3.5.4 and it was working fine

extract from the config.g file

@tcamguil this has already been fixed in the source a couple of days ago.
See here https://github.com/Duet3D/RepRapFirmware/commit/85d692da97158febf620a891fa7dca4814e62db3
Not sure if there has been a subsequent test release made available that includes this fix

FYI, you should update your DWC version to be the same as the firmware version

Fixed initial value of digital remote Z probes when they are created

Thanks to Andy Shaw for this one

Thanks for the fast response.
No, it has not yet been made available for the public as I re-downloaded the files this morning before posting.

I will then wait patiently for the next update.

@tcamguil There is a test build in this thread that may have the fix in it... https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/37610/3-6-0-beta1-rc1-laser-not-working/4
