      My zprobe will go nuts (clicking) when printing sometimes. Specially when going over a printed area. Is there a command to turn off and on the zprobe. Could put at end of start code and end end code to turn back on.

          since it clicks I would assume a BLTouch (or clone) but who knows? 😉

            Its a capacitive sensor probe. Sorry, the clicking is the relay.

              No need to use a relay, see https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_a_Z_probe#Section_NPN_output_normally_open_inductive_or_capacitive_sensor or https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_a_Z_probe#Section_PNP_output_normally_open_inductive_or_capacitive_sensor depending on which type you have.
