@Phaedrux Thanks! Seems to work as expected in the macro! Good to know if I can send it any time as well. Thanks again!

@57buick said in Failed to enable endstop configuring IR sensor:

Yea I just figured out changed the P1 to P8 made it show up in DWC now and manually putting a aluminum plate under it it changes from 1000 to zero when the led turns on so it is seeing it now. But it still shows homed after it homes the X and Y the Z also immeditately shows homed without actually going and probing the Z

The triggered state is the 1000.

So if you are seeing that when the sensor is NOT near the bed you need to invert the logic of the pin declaration you used for the Z probe.

Add a ! character before the io0.in:

M558 P1 C"121.io0.in" >= M558 P1 C"121.!io0.in"

The reason is reports homed with out actually homing is because the firmware is seeing the sensor activated when it is not. So it thinks the homing was completed.

@57buick said in 6HC power out:

out 0 power in

This is the power input for Out0, which is intended for the high current heated bed output.

You can use M119 to test the state of the endstops.

Have you added a toolboard in the config tool? On the i/o mapping page at the top you can add an expansion board and it's pins will then become mappable in the drop downs. Does that help?

The "deviation before" is the RMS height error of all the probe points before the correction was made. "deviation after" is the predicted error after the corrections. If the number of probe points is equal to the number of leadscrews then "deviation after" will always be zero.

I have moved this to the firmware wishlist.

@Phaedrux said in Bed mesh leveling with dc42 IR sensor:

It seems like the IR light is partially shining into the glass rather than being reflected by the top surface. I suggest you get a regular piece of paper and put it on the surface before doing another mesh and see how it looks in comparison.

Ill try that here soon when this print is done. But the 3 axis bed leveling always levels perfectly. this is my the last probe before printing its always really close to each other.

Leadscrew adjustments made: -0.738 -0.738 -0.728, points used 3, deviation before 0.735 after 0.000
are these negative numbers when leveling the 3 axis an indication its seeing thru the glass? -.738 at least its consistent lol Im just trying to understand the technicalities here. My Z probe offset is around 2.1

@57buick Better to use M591, not M581. See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M591_Configure_filament_sensing
You need S1 to enable it, so M591 D0 P1 C3 S1

Edit: @ktapper beat me to it!

@zapta It means that the Duet generates x16 microstepping and sends that to the driver. The driver then takes that and sends x256 to the motors resulting in smoother, quieter movement.

The strain on the CPU is less, but you don't get the theoretically better positioning of actual x256 steps, but it's debatable if using actual x256 makes any sense at all. We're talking about microscopic amounts of movement, which would be obliterated by extrusion inaccuracies.

@57buick Probably because you have configured the fan to run in thermostatic mode. Try using H-1 in your M106 to turn thermostatic mode off.

We expect to be shipping tool boards early February. The specification will be much the same as the prototype described on the wiki, except that we have removed the TEMP2 input and changed the types of some of the connectors.

I dont like it all, things are not organized in any way, I just converted back

Must have been in an earlier beta, because it is working now. No G0 G1 needed.

@57buick You should be getting better results than that. We have had a few people with these issues and given all the sensors test better than 90%-110% before we ship them we are asking people with the issue to contact us directly. Please email info@duet3d.com.

@Veti Yes I followed the guide to set it up.

@fcwilt said in DC42 IR sensor and Z homing:

Hi,

You seem to be having a very productive conversation with yourself.

Glad to hear you got it working.

Frederick

LOL yea I'm slowly figuring things out mistake after mistake

I should specify, I am using a breakout board at both ends so the grounds would split off to their specific connectors from the breakout 2 all three connectos for the sensors on the duet board

wow, thanks. I cut both the F and the T parameters in half and this is the results I got. Way better

M292
G32 bed probe heights: -0.028 -0.028 -0.030 -0.033 -0.033 -0.035 -0.035 -0.035 -0.038 -0.043, mean -0.034, deviation from mean 0.004

@calvinx said in How reliable is the IR bed sensor Vs BLTouch?:

that's strange, we are running IR sensors on crealities coated glass sheets with no problems.

thats because they are coated with a black surface that is opaque and not reflective or transparent.
