Hello,
I have been using duet products for the last 1 year and have built 2 large 3d printers that work with duet electronics. I Have used Duet Ethernet, WiFi and expansion headers for delta and core xy printers which produce amazing prints.
For a new Cartesian printer with duet wifi board the motor drives, extruders everything work fine.
But i am facing a strange problem with Z probe and after a lot of unsuccessful search on forums, posting it here.
I have an inductive Z probe which detects the metal object and also works good during the static and dynamic test. I have done G30 S-1, G29 bed probing, G32 S1 calibration which have all worked as expected.
But later i found out that the Z measurements returned by the probe are wrong because the analog values being produced seem to be of very short variations. In my previous machines i can see the Z probe values in DWC differ from 0 to 500 as the bed approaches near and the average values returned by G30 S-1 are constant for a set of 5 measurements.
But with the new wifi board, the sensor measurements differ only between 958 and 1000 on DWC. The Z probe measurements also vary with a constant pattern. they either increase by 0.5 or decrease for a set of 5 to 10 measurements at the same place on bed.
If my first G30 s-1 returns 1 mm, after 10 measurements it returns 2.5 or 3 mm which is clearly wrong.
The voltage reading shown on DWC is 24V and probe value range from 960 to 1000.
I have tested the sensor and the electronics with my previous board and it works fine.
I feel the problem is either with a firmware update that i am not aware of or somewhere in my settings i am missing something.
; Endstops
M574 X2 Y2 Z2 S1 ; Set active low endstops at high ends
; Z-Probe
M558 P1 H10 F80 T10000 ; Set Z probe type and the dive height + speeds
G31 P930 X0 Y0 Z0 ; Set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
M557 X50:1100 Y50:1000 S100 ; Define mesh grid
Any suggestions or possible solutions would be of great help.
@dc42 and team - you people have been doing great, i have always found answers to my problems on the forums.
