@Algadz said in Setup Z-probe and endstop:

I would like to be able to move the Z axis toward Zmax until the probe is triggered.

I think what's is confused here is that you are referring to it as a probe, however the application you're talking about using it in is using it as a endstop switch. In which case you won't use M558 and G31 and G30 anymore, as those moves are used for a probe that is able to move around in X and Y to map the bed surface.

What you're describing sounds like the inductive sensor is fixed at the Z max position and you want it to stop bed movement when homing to zmax, which I believe should be possible. How is your inductive sensor wired currently? You'd need to use M574 to configure a Z max endstop before you want to use it. You can leave the current Z min endstop configuration active in config.g. Then you can reconfigure to zmax in your macro before homing.

Ok if DC42 says so I will start to reconsider my usb interface 🙂

I will not be able to use the web interface as the process is automated, is there a way to use this file transfer to the SD card without the web interface ?
with HTML requests I suppose ?

Also, the ethernet port of the RPI is already used for internet connexion, is it possible to use a dual ethernet port extension such as the ethernetberry to connect the Duet ?

Thank you

Thank you for your answer,

Initially, I was hopping to only connect the Duet through USB because the Ethernet port of the device hosting pronterface is already taken. But if I can't find any other solution I will probably search this way.

I do agree, my initial idea was to have Pronterface reading the port and writing M114 command (+other gcode) and an other SW only reading the port and extrating M114 answers.
But I think this boils down to the question of exclusivity on the COM port, once connected, does Pronterface allows other SW to use the same COM port.

I realise now that my question is not really on the Duet side but mostly on pronterface and the host computer so it may not be the right forum to post. Anyway, if you have an idea on this I'll take it 🙂

Thank you !
