You will want to put a surface like buildtak, Matte black PEI Or pick up some Matte black High temp oven/grill paint from the hardware store and paint the bed surface. Anything to reflective or clear will make the sensor act crazy. It would also cause the sensor to work fine one minute and be crazy the next.

Also can you post your config.g and bed.g files.

RE: Something is wrong … and I do not know what it is
home your printer so the hot end is far away from the surface, then look at the sensor in the web interface it should read 0 or close to. If it doesn't check to make sure there is nothing stock on the LED's actually make sure they are still there. I had a part collision and it knocked them off the board. Also check your wiring if for some reason the plug is on backwards it will read triggered all the time. If it does read zero check your bed surface, matte black is the best.

RE: Z probe offset
Thanks, You might want to ad this to the Wiki page for setting up the Z probe.

RE: Endstops not stopping external drivers on the expansion header
I need to run my printer so I am going to put my WiFi board back in but I will make a bench test for it and keep trying things.

RE: Endstops not stopping external drivers on the expansion header
Would it be worth the time if I completely erased the board and re-flashed it via usb?

RE: Bed.g can I make Y move first, then X
Here is my home all file. When homing they go in order Z,X,Y for my main move and for fine adjustment they go reversed.

I can ship you the board if you want.

RE: Endstops not stopping external drivers on the expansion header
It moves to towards the switch. But they should not be moving at all. This is why I link it is the board. With my WiFi board the printer runs perfect. If I bypass the external drivers and the encoder and run them from the main board they operate as intended. It is only when using the breakout board for external drivers.
