I have looked into this, and I think there is a mistake in the pin assignment for the Z probe input pin in the RADDS build. Currently it is set to 5, however I think it was meant to be pin A5 on the Arduino Due, which would make it the AUX ADC pin on RADDS. Is that the pin that you have the Smart Effector OUT pin connected to?

Lobotomy

I have them on the old Z-Probe pins, which are on the PWM3 header, as seen below. I am only using the pins designated by the arrows:

dc42

I think the pin you need to use to match the existing pin assignment is PWM1. Alternatively, use PWM3 but change the M558 command from P5 to P4.

Lobotomy

Is there a notable difference between the two? Would it be worth soldering that header in, you think? And for what it's worth, G30 definitely stopped on setting 4, so that's certainly an inch closer!

spinor

Having recently come across this thread I tried changing from M558 P4 connected via PWM3 to M558 P5 connected via AUX ADC. I'm glad I did! For me it made a huge difference. With P4 I struggled to achieve multipoint probing with a 0.04mm threshold and up to 6 repeats, but now with P5 I can do it with 0.01mm with usually no repeats. G32 calibration now reports a deviation of around 0.01mm, whereas before I might get 0.045mm at best. I'm using a very sensitive mechanical nozzle probe built into an effector I'm developing, consisting of a bolt-and-washer circuit breaker with adjustable sensitivity (will upload to Thingiverse in due course). I can't say whether changing from P4 to P5 would benefit the Smart Effector but it's definitely worth a try.

dc42

@spinor, I'm glad it helped. For the Smart Effector we recommend P8, which is like P5 but with the filtering turned off for faster response.

Mysta

@dc42 The wiki shows P5, should we change to P8?

dc42

Yes P8 is slightly better than P5 but not supported in earlier firmware versions.

Great, I'll try it out.
