      I hear your frustrations.

      See this note about switches. https://reprap.org/wiki/Z_probe#Microswitch

      The mode you choose will depend on how the switch is wired. See the different modes in this link https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Connecting_a_Z_probe

      If it's already triggered that means it may need to be inverted by adding i1 to M558.

      You'll also need an X Y offset now in g31.

        Followed the instructions exactly as they dictated.

        Input the microswitch to E0 instead of Zendstop.
        Selected P4 on M558 command.

        It works. By hand. I hit the endstop and the machine moves to the various points. If I click the endstop, it moves to the next one.

        Will try the piezo probe on E0 and update you.

        Thank you very much for your time.

          AND IT WORKS. WITH THE PIEZO SENSOR.

          Is it possible to add this feature on Z leveling for future recommendation??? I believe many users will find this usefull, as setting BLtouch and IR probes is a nightmare. Sometimes, simplicity offers the best results.
