Thanks so much.

Your suggestions of course!, worked well.

Thanks Once again.

Another thing that I found out by trial and error.

In the BeTrue3D's article on how to set up the Bl-Touch to the Duet 2 board in the files that they tell you to create, Namely:
Alarm Release + Pin Up
Pin Down
Pin Up
Self-Test

They use the command:

M280 P7 Snn I1

On my Ender 6 where the BL-Touch worked fine, I initially could not get the probe to work until I tried changing the P7 to P0. I assume that the document was written for firmware versions prior to V3.
I had copied the M950 command in config.g direct from your GCode Dictionary which used P0 and thus was the reason that I found that the P0 command worked.

On the Ender 6 where the BL-Touch is not working, if I typed in the "M280 P0 Snn" from the console line, the BL Touch responds correctly. It is just that when I send a G28 or G30 command from the Console, that the BL-Touch fails to respond.

Thanks once again for responding to my query.

Hi! Thanks for responding to my query.
As per your request I have attached the following files
Plus have included a jpg file of the Duet 2 board showing the 5 wires from the BL-Touch connecting to the Duet 2 board PIO.
The yellow wire is connected to the 10th pin of the PIO counting down from the top which according to my diagram of the Duet 2 Connections, is "Heater 7".

Hi,
I have two Ender 6's which I am converting to Duet 2 3d controller boards.
Only difference between the machines is that one will be using wifi and the other ethernet.

Both Duet 2 boards are using firmware V3.3

I followed the instruction by BeTrue3D their URL is:
https://betrue3d.dk/bltouch-on-duet-wifi-configuratio-and-usage
I have completed the wifi one and it works perfectly.

I then copied the SD card and placed the copy into the second Ender 6 which now has Duet 2 Etherenet board in it.

From the console I can issue a deployprobe.g command:
M280 P0 S10 and the probe drops downs
From the console I can issue a RetractProbe.g command:
M280 P0 S90 and the probe retracts

But when I issue a HomeAll G28 or G30 the probe will not drop down.

I have created Deployprobe.g, Retractprobe.g, Alarm Release + Pin Up.g, Pin Down.g,
Pin Up.g and Self test.g files in the Sys folder and have also created equivalent macros.

Could yet tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Graham

Hi,

Yup thanks for that info. The jumpers on the seond Z socket were not in place. I was only doing XY so didn't realise that the Z motor was unable to move.
May I suggest especially with Core XY printers, that if a person is unable to get the XY gantry to move in the correct direction using the settings in Config.g, that they swap the X and Y plugs on the board and try again. It worked for me.

But thanks for your fantatsic support. Definitely worth paying the extra dollars for a fantastic control board in comparison to that Chinese crap.

Graham

Hi,
I have an Ender 6 Core XY Printer and have just replaced the Creality Board with a Duet 2 wifi board. Took me ages before I realised that I had to swap the X and Y motors on the board to get it to Home Properly. But when I do issue a G28 I get the following messages:

G28 XY
Warning: motor phase A may be disconnected reported by driver(s) 2
Warning: motor phase B may be disconnected reported by driver(s) 2
Also get a message "Response too slow"

Haver tried increasing max current to 1200ma as the creality stepper motors 42-28 are large steppers. Unable to find any specifications on these motors.

Any clues?

Thanks,
