RE: How to setup the microswitch as an endstop and Z probe?
@jay_s_uk but in config tool is noted that "A switch is used to determine the distance between nozzle and bed. This switch must be connected to the Z probe terminal and not to the Z endstop switch terminal!"
And config tool generate the config file to connect the probe to the zprobe.in pin.
So now I am not sure that it can work if it is connected to zstop pin. -
RE: How to setup the microswitch as an endstop and Z probe?
@jay_s_uk thank you.
Additionally, the microswitch should be connected to the probe pin, not to the zstop pin, am I right?
Now I connect it to the probe_in pin and change my config like thisM574 Z1 S2 ; configure Z-probe endstop for low end on Z ; Z-Probe M558 P5 C"^zprobe.in" H5 F220 T10000 ; Z probe connected to Z probe pin and set dive height H, probe speed F and travel speed T G31 P200 X-2.75 Y-39 Z0 ; Set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height M557 X10:285 Y10:230 S30 ; Define mesh grid M376 H5 ; Hnnn Height (mm) over which to taper off the bed compensation
And also changed my homez.g file according to your suggestion.
Now it is working, and also I can build the mesh of my bed.
Thank all for your help!

RE: How to setup the microswitch as an endstop and Z probe?
@Phaedrux , thank you fpr your reply.
Yes, my firmware is 3.1.1.
I changed my config likeM574 Z0 P"nil" ; no Z endstop switch, free up Z endstop input ; Z-Probe M558 P5 C"zstop" H5 F220 T10000 ; Z probe connected to Z endstop input and set dive height H, probe speed F and travel speed T G31 P200 X-2.75 Y-39 Z0 ; Set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height M557 X10:285 Y10:230 S30 ; Define mesh grid M376 H5 ; Hnnn Height (mm) over which to taper off the bed compensation
But I still feel that something wrong again. Now I cant home Z axis.

How to setup the microswitch as an endstop and Z probe?
Hi.
I have a microswitch on my carriage X. I need to setup it to work as Z endstop and Z probe at the same time.
The configuration in my config file is:M574 Z1 S1 P"zstop" ; Z-Probe M558 P4 X0 Y0 Z1 H3 F220 T10000 ; Set Z probe to switch and set dive height H, probe speed F and travel speed T G31 P200 X-2.75 Y-39 Z0 ; Set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height M557 X10:285 Y10:230 S30 ; Define mesh grid M376 H5 ; Hnnn Height (mm) over which to taper off the bed compensation
For this configuration the microswitch is working well as Z endstop. But when I try to use command G29 to build the heat bed mesh, I got the error "Error: G29: Z probe 0 not found"
What is my mistake? Could somebody help me to setup the microswitch correcly?
The firmware is 3.1.1 (2020-05-19b2).
