@phaedrux sorry I've taken so long to respond. When I first tried it, the hotend smashed into the bed lol. I figured my best option was to reset everything and start over from the beginning since I have updated the firmware. I'll let you know the outcome!

RE: BL Touch Issues
@phaedrux I was trying to use the probe for the mesh but never could get it to work. I just updated my firmware but there were several files for the 2.04 RC does everything look up to date?
Firmware Name: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet
Firmware Electronics: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later
Firmware Version: 2.04RC1 (2019-07-14b1)
WiFi Server Version: 1.23
Web Interface Version: 1.22.6 -
RE: BL Touch Issues
@phaedrux ok cool. Thanks for all your help this far. I still haven't had any luck actually getting the mesh generated. My brain is starting to hurt, so I'll give it a break for a while and revisit when I am able to give it my full attention. Again, thank you!

RE: BL Touch Issues
@phaedrux just so I understand. It should be :
G91 ; relative positioning
G1 Z20 F6000 S2 ; lift Z relative to current position
G1 S1 X-235 Y-235 F1800 ; move quickly to X and Y axis endstops and stop there (first pass)
G1 X39.5 Y15 F6000 ; go back a few mm
G1 S1 X-235 Y-235 F360 ; move slowly to X and Y axis endstops once more (second pass)
G1 X39.5 Y15 F6000 ; go to first bed probe point and home Z
G30 ; home Z by probing the bed; Uncomment the following lines to lift Z after probing
G91 ; relative positioning
G1 S2 Z20 F100 ; lift Z relative to current position
G90 ; absolute positioning -
RE: BL Touch Issues
@phaedrux Thank you for your time! I will definitely update and make the changes you have suggested, I will also post an update afterwards! Thanks again!

BL Touch Issues
I tried really hard to figure everything out on my own so I wouldn't have to bother anyone with ridiculous questions. I was able to successfully wire the BL Touch and it responds when I send commands. I've watched countless videos and searched the web for answers but I'm ready to use it for target practice...
Board - Duet2 wifi 1.04
Firmware - 1.21- I followed the Betrue3d configuration but I'm having problems with the offset. I have the probe move to center of the bed, I lowered the nozzle to the surface and changed the position to Z0 (should I move my enstop to match?). I raised the nozzle to 10mm and used G31 S-1 (came up with 8.850 several times and occasionally gotten 0). Now is where I become a little confused. I assume that I subtract 8.850 from 10 to gather my offset?
- I've tried several times to run the mesh grid compensation but have yet to complete the full process. In my opinion, it looks like the probe is too close to the bed when it begins the process which triggers the probe before it's able to do anything. I have reviewed the code but I can't find the problem. I believe that it has something to do with my homez.g and/or the height of probe mount?

G90I apologize for the long post. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
**Update- After running through the process again, I can home X and Y but Z ignores the endstop and hits the bed. Im really really confused now.
