BLTouch not triggering, LED on BLTouch working

[Print3r]

I have wired up a BLTouch as a Z-probe for my delta printer (see picture). I have cut the strip connecting the two pads on the BLTouch to make it 3.3V logic and used the Reprap configurator to generate all the necessary files. On startup, the BLTouch retracts and extends out its pin as it did with the MKSBase board I had before, the LED is off when pin is extended and red when pushed in by hand (after startup).

However, it does not trigger when the pin hits the bed (checked with G30 S-1 and printer stops at z=0 with an error saying 'Z probe was not triggered during probing move. Stopped at height -0.000mm').

Is my config.g wrong or is it my wiring (BLTouch was working when used MKSBase so do not think that is the issue).

Still have the same problem.

I have checked the wiring and it is wired the same as the duet board of my friend that works. I have checked with his duet on my board and have the same problem. The resistance between the two pads on the bltouch is around 330 ohms after making sure the trace is cut.

I have set the bed height to be z=0 using a piece of paper and jogging the print-head up and down. So the Z-probe trigger height should be correct no? How do I check/ set what the probe trigger height is?

Is my Duet Wifi broken?

Your wiring and config looks OK to me. Does the pin extend at the start of the probing move? Have you set up the deployprobe.g and retractprobe.g files, and tested them using M401 and M402?

@dc42

Many thanks for the help. M401 and M402 didn't do anything - I checked those two files carefully against https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_a_Z_probe#Section_BLTouch.

Issue was that in the deployprobe.g and retractprobe.g files, retract should have been M280 P3 S90 I1 (originally M280 P3 S90) and extend/ deploy should have been M280 P3 S10 I1 (originally M280 P3 S10). Once that was fixed, it worked!

For those with the same issue, beware what RepRapFirmware Configuration Tool generates!

Thanks for reporting the resolution. We'll update the configuration tool.

@dc42 I just had this same problem 5/30/2021, the configurator didn't seam to have the change. I switched the commands to the fix and the probe works great.

@po3plestorm What board and firmware version did you have selected? Can you share the config.json file it generated?
