@dc42 thanks for the confirmation - will go ahead without the motor driver boards then.

Ordered one of these

Doesn't look like it needs much power

@dc42 good news - Wired up my 2nd extruder - and this time I connected the Inductive Z probe ( 24V, 2.27V output) to the Filament Monitor 3.3v compliant connection IO1.in - and it seems to trigger ok.

So I think that is the solution unless I decide to add filament monitors. So thanks for your help.

Next issue is work out is how to handle 4 different Inductive Probes, a Switch Type Touch probe plus a positioning probe.

@o_lampe Interesting - I hadn't thought about firmware retraction - its turned off in my printer profile - but if I turn it on - I get this as a typical sequence

G10 ; retract ;WIPE_START G1 X140.121 Y84.188 E-.24 ;WIPE_END M486 S-1 M486 S1 G1 Z.6 F15000 G1 X152.303 Y279.456 Z.6 G1 Z.2 G11 ; unretract

I've created my own ZHOP command - M800 - I guess I could use being inside a G10/G11 pair to know to change the Z moves to my M800 commands.

I will also try just commenting out the Z moves (or turning off Z Hopping in the slicer), and try setting the Z axis to my B/C axis in the M563 tool definition as you suggest- and then specify Z Movement in my M207 to see what happens.

Will also try turning on meshing with my BC axis defined as Z to see if it does any auto adjustments using my axis, rather than the proper Z Axis.
