IR probe and Duet Maestro
-
Hi, I've recently upgraded my Duet 0.8.5 to the Duet Maestro and while wiring my IR probe (the same one I had used before) I noticed it only blinks twice instead of four times at power up. It does seem to work - homes correctly and outputs a height map, don't know if the readings are correct though.
What am I missing?
Using RRF 2.01 and AUS3D v1.4 Z probe.
I've checked the wiring: analog output<->z probe in, vcc<->3.3v, gnd<->gnd.
Thanks!

What probe type do you have selected in your M558 command in config.g?

This is my M558 command in config.g:

That config looks ok to me. I have one of our own IR sensors in my Maestro-powered Ormerod printer. I am fairly sure it flashes four times at power up, but I'll check next time I use it.
-
I have confirmed, an IR sensor connected correctly to the Duet Maestro in my Ormerod printer flashes 4 times at startup, using P1 in the M558 command.
-
Thanks, but would it be a problem for my printer? The two flashes mean digital output, but I'm using the analog output anyway, am I right?
If it's a problem, what else should I look into?
-
Something isn't right, however the probe will still work even if the Duet is configured for analog mode and the IR sensor is producing a digital output. You won't get the benefit of the probing move slowing down when the probe gets close to trigger height.
