thanks for your effort @Veti I got it fixed again.
it seems that the electrolytic capacitor was slightly bent upwards so it didn't properly shield the IR light between LED and receiver. my guess is that somehow the shiny plastic housing reflected the light in an uncontrolled manner.
At least bending it down made it work again.
thanks, I found it.
I wonder if it's even possible to initialize the probe in digital mode using the zprobe.in port on the duet.
If so I guess one has to eliminate the trigger value, right?
where did you read about the initialization flashing? I didn't know that yet.
also I'm not sure how the sensor should know about how it's initialized since the signal pin is only an output pin iirc.
changed the probe to P8 but it behaves exactly as before.
I've got a print running, as soon as it finished I'll give it a try. 20mins I guess.
If that works I'm kinda worried about missing functionality, since analog mode has some advantages over digital.
Removed the I parameter from M558 and the extra M in M501, unfortunately it didn't change anything.
doesn't the probe trigger independently, no matter what is set in the config?
I mean if it's just has supply voltage. I thought what's in the config is only signal interpretation and conditioning?!

It's a Duet 2 WiFi and running RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet 3.2-beta2 (2020-10-05b2)
Did I mention that it worked like a charm before I changed the bed surface and the firmware?
Here is my homez.g
I do it the same way in my homeall.g
G91 ; relative positioning
G1 Z5 F6000 H2 ; lift Z relative to current position
G90 ; absolute positioning
G1 X152 Y166.4 F6000 ; go to first probe point
G30 ; home Z by probing the bed
looks like I do it the right way, do I?
Re: IR sensor triggering too far away?
I opened up a new thread since the last one I found was pretty old.
I recently changed my print surface and updated to RRF 3 and all of a sudden the mini IR triggers about 10mm above the bed.
Before it worked like a charm, I even tried to trick it with a sheet of paper on the bed, but it still trigers way too early. I also played with the trigger values a bit, I thought I could overcome the flase triggering, unfortunately that didn't work either.
If I get past the first trigger height it delivers consistent results @ about 2.4mm.
oh I bought it from E3D about a year ago, so it's a genuine mini IR with SMD LEDs.
I've no idea what happend to it, could anyone give me a hint what's wrong with it.
thanks in advance!
