NPN probe (PL08N) - high deviation

Mugga

Hey guys,

I have trouble with my inductive probe. The deviation is quite high and I don't really know how to fix this issue. Here is a test I've done:

The sensor signal is wired to the z-probe pin on the duet wifi, ground and vin are wired to an always on fan output. Bed and hotend heater are off during the probing.
These are the settings for the probe:
M558 P5 H6 I1 F60 T9000 A10 S0.01 B1

Any ideas? Is the probe maybe faulty?

Hello Friend. I don't know if you solved your problem. I am new to duet and am looking to install this same sensor. Would you mind helping me? I don't know where to put the 3 pins on the board and I don't know what will be the config.g file and other necessary files. If you can help me, I really appreciate it! I use a duet 2 wifi 1.04. Thanks!
