@jay_s_uk Thanks Jay, the M119 is a useful one to know! found the issue.

Hi would apricate if anyone is able to help me on this one.

My printer has been running fine and after coming back from a break I am now having issues where my Y axis won't home. When I press home the bed nudges roughly 0.5 in the opposite direction to what it should do, then stops and thinks it's homed. I have tried swapping the driver and used a different axis to test this but this also does the same thing. When it has been "homed" I can move the bed backwards and forwards via the web control, it just wont home in the right direction or travel more than 0.5 and move to the end stop. Please see videos below which I hope help.

m997

That's done it. Thank you for all your help BLTouch is working now and printer is updated

@phaedrux Yeah I upload the zip as it is from my downloads and it uploads a load of items then restarts and M115 gives me the same output that it is still on M115

@phaedrux Yeah I am in system tab and hit "upload system files then select the zip files which uploads them but when rebooting and running M115 no change.

@phaedrux That's great now M401 and M402 work! Thank you

@eegroeg I can confirm BLTouch is now Probing with M280 P0 S10/M280 P0 S90

@Phaedrux I also am struggling to update it, when I upload the ZIP then run the M115 command after reboot I get...

@joergs5 I got a replacement and M280 P3 S10 I1 causes it to deploy! M401 & M402 still don't do anything though is there any reason why this might be the case?

@joergs5 No change on IO7 so think you're right. Thanks for the advice on the shielding. I will update the thread with how the new cable works!

@joergs5 Thanks for that, I have checked the wiring again and it all seems to match up. I have ordered a new longer Antclabs cable kit. I will give that a go and let you know if it makes a difference. If there's anything else you think I can try in the meantime please let me know.

@eegroeg My board is a Duet 3 MB 6HC. The BLTouch is connected to iO4.

@paulhew said in BLTouch Won't deploy:

M402

Sadly no change. The command doesn't give any errors and the BLTouch doesn't do anything.

@joergs5 Thanks for pointing that out I have amend that on my config file.

Please see the homing and deploy/retract files below:

Hi I am trying to get my BLTouch working. I have followed the online guides to ensure it has been correctly wired up. When I boot up my printer the BLTouch will deploy and retract and the red light will stay on. However when I try to deploy the probe manually to test it nothing happens (No errors on the interface the BLTouch doesn't move). When I try to home the Z it will move the Z axis but the probe won't deploy the probe. If anyone is able to help me fix this that would be greatly appreciated.

Please see my config file below:

@phaedrux said in G28 X took too long to respond:

sorry for the delay, thanks for your response.

I tested all the above, no errors all commands are green.

The only command which had any movement was G1 Y10 so it seems nothing is happening from driver 0.

I’m happy to try anything else, please let me know what the next options are

@phaedrux

Please see M122 and M98 below. I purchased Duet a month or so ago, only just in the past week actually unpacked it and started to use it for my project. It was purchased from E3D.

When swapping the drivers now nothing happens and I get a G28 X too long to respond message with the warning that repeats several times until I reset the board or get the "Error: Homing failed" message:

Warning: motor phase A may be disconnected reported by driver(s) 0
Warning: motor phase B may be disconnected reported by driver(s) 0

The chip doesn't seem to get hot and there are no marks as far as I can see. (Please see photo attached.)
