Configurator BLTouch bug
-
I mean this:
@dc42 said in Configurator BLTouch bug:
Check the Z probe reading in the web interface when the BLTouch is deployed but the pin has not been pushed up. It should be zero. If it is about 1000, then either you have not selected the correct mode in M558 (it should be P9, and you should not have the I1 parameter), or there is a bad connection between the Duet and the white wire of the BLTouch.
-
Ok I understand what you mean now but google must translate poorly what I tell you.
When there is no i1 in deployprobe.g and retractprobe.g to do auto-calibration or macros, the bltouch commands do not work.
I checked all my connector and crimp (welded) to the multimeter, no problem.
After some probing, the bltouch goes up and down which makes it blink.

From your videos it looks like the probe pin is sticking. Earlier you said you had tried to repair it by taking the pin out?
Try this, put the probe into self test where it deploys and retracts the pin repeatedly and leave it running for a long while. The probe should continue indefinitely. If it gets stuck and goes into error that means that the pin is likely getting stuck. If this is the case you may need to replace the probe. The newer versions of the BLTouch are quite improved over the older style. The pins are now plastic for instance. Given the cost it may be worth just replacing it.

You still haven't answered my original question: is the Z probe reading shown by DWC zero (or close to zero) when the probe is not triggered?

I launched the selt-test at 22:44 and at 22:57 it was still running. So it works well in the void.
Yes I think I have this option to buy a newer, newer bltouch that will be the least expensive. But there is also buy the complete delta kit Duet3D Smart Effector. this will allow me to be more precise from what it says on any bed surface.

I just launched the auto calib, it was 2 probes and the sensor has increased to 1000.

it's still weird to have a 2 bltouch that does not work? it is not a problem of speed of retraction of the bltouch and or the speed of mounting of the head too slow?
in a first time this model will go?

I exceeded my support credit or tried to understand what I'm doing wrong? I'm still at the same point, impossible to print. I have an old-fashioned configuration solution without bltouch?
Thanks you
-
What is the correct version of the web server? Why I have 1.21 RC4 after the update?
Thank you
-
@rafb do you have the deployprobe.g and retractprobe.g files in the same file location as the config file?
-
Yes,
-
@rafb I just checked the video. When the pin is deployed does the red light turn off? If not then that’s the issue. The Red light is on when it detects the pin. When the pin is deployed it should be off since well the probe is deployed and not detected.
Could be a defective bltouch.
I saw you had another one. Does that have the same issue? If so, can you take a picture of the wiring?
Also make sure you check the wires for continuity with a DMM.

Thank you
You'll need to upload two more files.
You will need wifi server https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/2.01/DuetWiFiServer-1.21.bin
And DWC https://github.com/chrishamm/DuetWebControl/releases/tag/1.22

This one should work ok hopefully.

Hello,
Here I am again, always with my problems of bltouch. I will not have a new one because it is holidays and if I order in China, there is a delay of 2 weeks!I would like to tell you that I have already managed to print after a complete probing with the bltouch which does not work for the moment.
The config M558 was P5 H5 F120 T6000
Due to a problem I can not remember, I could not print anymore. After I got lost in the lines of code that I do not understand then I made the update under your advice and here I am again.
DC42, I am updating it and I may be able to give you the information you need with this great new web interface. I am not selling the firmware because I can not print but I have no doubt to achieve one day (with or without new bltouch, see even your sensor.
So tell me where and how to find DWC.Phaedrux, thank you for your advice although the delta printer is your forte. I made the update very quickly thanks to you and this ultra simple interface when we understand and we are well helped.
I have the impression that the problem is actually bltouch but especially a bad code code M558 for these old bltouch.
As I told you if I run a self-test macro it works perfectly for 15 minutes.I retest with this new update and change the parameter M558 P9 H10 F120 T10000 and probing is more point but there is always a time when the bltouch it is in error (flashes).
here are my files.g
I thank you again for the help already done and I hope to be quite clear (with google trad) to finally launch quality print.

@rafb, DWC is short for Duet Web Control. You can find it along with the firmware files at https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases. Chrishamm sometimes has a later version available at https://github.com/chrishamm/DuetWebControl/.
-
Under the advice of Phaedrux, I installed DWC https://github.com/chrishamm/DuetWebControl/.
I would like to know with which parameter I can play so that the bltouch does not put it in default (Blink)
When my printer is at home, I measure 517mm from the bed to my nozzle. So I change M665 H522 for the DWC shows me 517 when it is at home. It's correct?
I also change M558 P9 H10 and I observed that it was more probing.
Do you have any suggestions for modifying M558?thank you

Yes if you are using the standard homedelta.g file, which lowers the effector by 5mm after homing so that the nozzle can be safely centred.
I also change M558 P9 H10 and I observed that it was more probing.
Do you have any suggestions for modifying M558?
The H parameter defines the height at which probing starts. So a higher H parameter means probing takes longer (because the probe takes longer to reach the bed), but that it is more tolerant of calibration being a long way out. So we recommend that you used a high H value for initial calibration. Once you have performed calibration and copied the new values into your M665 and M666 commands in config.g, you can reduce the H parameter so that probing takes less time.
