@dc42 @gloomyandy @achrn

found the issue the 8 pin connector was the issue thanks to all of you

@dc42 please let me know if i need to do more testing , i did try with and without the mod but its the same still 9 flashes

@dc42 said in smart effector ver 4 147 it flashes 9 times:

@sankafola are you able to measure the voltage between the Vcc and Gnd pins on the underside of the effector safely? That would remove the possibility of a bad crimp connection. Leave the 6-pin connector not connected as in your photo.

i messuered voltage while the connector is on the smart effector and it was 5 v and i took the connector off and messure between the pin 1 ( VCC) and the GND and its 5v

note: i also tried to take the mod off and its the same still flashing 9 times

@dc42 hi , its bran new i just installed it , do you want me to messure voltage on the smart effector ? if yes from where to where

@droftarts i also checked the voltage between the VCC and the GND and i have 5v there and LED is lit because there is voltage Unless you telling me the smart effector taking the VCC in another location beside this one ,

@droftarts yes i see the cause as missing power but am putting 3.3v or 5v and both still cause the LED to flash 9 times

note: am connecting everything direct including the fans and the thirmister and the heater and the only connector on the smart effector connected is one have vcc 3.3v or 5v

and getting still 9 flashes of the LED!

@droftarts but am putting on pin VCC the 3.3 v or the 5v , and how else the LED is light on if no VCC ?

@gloomyandy said in Duet Smart Effector sensitivity:

Sorry I can't really help with this, I don't have either a smart effector or a delta and have never used either. The only thing I can add is that we have not had any other reports of issues with the stm32 firmware with this sort of setup from any other users. Given that it sounds like the probe works for G32 I think that means that the basic probing functionality is working.

let me use your line so i dont miss a question :

I'm not sure you really answered the question that DC42 asked above. Before you start the G29 is the green LED on or off?

when i start the machine the LED flash 2 times then it turn OFF

How far through the G29 sequence do you get before you get that message? Does the print head move at all? Perhaps you can post a video so we can see what is happening.

it goes for 1/3 of the bed , like 15 times

If when you run G29 you get that error part way through the sequence you may want to change the M558 R parameter to something much higher (like R1 oe R2), just to see if that helps.

i **was using this one M558 P8 H5 F1000 T16000 R0.4 S0.04 A7 C"^c.15+c.14"

Also are you sure that the input pin for the probe needs to pullups enabled (you have ^c.15), the Z-MAX input on that board already has a 10K pullup on it. It also has a 10uF capacitor which may be causing problems with the output from the probe, so you could try using the BL-Touch input instead

**i tried the BL touch and thr DWC dont see the probe like if i tap on the nozzle the DWC dont show any thing for the probe. do i need to activate it some how first ?

**
But as I said above I really have no idea about using this type of probe. The above or just general suggestions.

@dc42
here is my firmware and i dont have mesh.g

and here is what i have now in the config but getting the same error

M558 P8 H5 F1000 T16000 R0.4 S0.04 A7 C"^c.15+c.14"
M672 S105:124:131

@dc42 yes the LED is on when i touch the nozzle and the G32 complete with no issue

i tried to increase the R like

M558 P8 H5 F1000 T16000 R0.4 S0.04 A7 C"^c.15+c.14"

but i still got the same error

G29
Error: G29: Probe already triggered before probing move started

how do i reduce the sensitivity ? or what can i do next ?

i have smart effector ver 4 and super 5 card

config

M558 P8 H5 F1000 T16000 R0.2 S0.04 A7 C"^c.15+c.14"

the G32 works fine then when i do G29 i get this error

G29
Error: G29: Probe already triggered before probing move started

please help

@Phaedrux done thanks for your support

@Phaedrux

i bought it from digitmakers.ca on 7 jan 2025

@dc42 if i leave the connector off where it will get the power from ? the power getting from pin 1 in the connector to the SE no ? \

connector is plugged then between VCC and GND is 5v if the connector off no voltage

i check the voltage from pin 1 to pin 3 while the connector is off its same 5v
