scratch last i changed the sensitivity to S2 and it worked but it also jogged the Y axis back slightly is this a belt tension issue? ps thanks for your help and the speedy responses

I changed the code to

M574 X1 S3                                     ; configure sensorless endstop for low end on X
M574 Y1 S1 P"ystop"                            ; configure active-high endstop for low end on Y via pin ystop
M915 X:Y S5 F1 R0							       ; sensorless homing parameters

it still runs into the x end and they pushes the y axis back

So i last used my printer with RR 1.2 just updated and renewed the config and everything works apart from the sensorless homing no matter what i set the motor current to or the sensitivity it just plants into the x home and makes loads of noise i have included my complete config and also the testing macro that i am using.

for some reason when i run the macro it moves the Y axis toward the back?

yes i know it makes more sense to use a physical endstop but it worked when i built the printer and havent easily left space to wire in the additional stop

@dc42 it’s not that, I have the sock and I’m not printing using a cooling fan

Bloody frustrating print starts and runs fine gets to second ish layer and faults

Error: Heating fault on heater 1, temperature excursion exceeded 15.0°C
Resume-after-power-fail state saved

then have to emergency stop the printer to get it to reset.

Watching the temps it prints at 225 then suddenly drops to 180 and fails. im thinking my cartridge thermistor is probably buggered?

running my meshlevel macro

G90 ; Absolute coordinates
M557 X0:240 Y0:220 S20 ; Bed probe from and to
M401 ; Lower BLTouch probe
G29 S2 ; Clears bed height map in RepRapFirmware

M402 ; Retract BLTouch probe

Returns this, and skips the first layer of probe points on the Y0

@dc42 said in BLTouch was working and now isn't.:

M307 H3 A-1 C-1 D-1

so i changed it to M307 H3 A-1 C-1 D-1 and it seems to work, cant remember why i would have it set differently?

I use Chrome and mine defaults to http://192.168.0.39/

M307 is there however i had it configured to this

M307 H3 A465.7, C176.6, D3.2 S1 ;
M558 P5 X0 Y0 Z1 H5 F120 T2000
G31 X32 Y10 Z2.9 P25

So i had a month or so not using my printer, went back on today and tried to reset the bltouch pin using a macro.

M280 P3 S160 I1

it returns;
M98 P0:/macros/Reset BLtouch
Error: Invalid servo index 3 in M280 command

Nothing has changed in my config so i have no idea what has gone wrong.

M307 H3

returns

M307 H3
Heater 3 model: gain 340.0, time constant 140.0, dead time 5.5, max PWM 1.00, calibration voltage 0.0, mode PID, inverted no, frequency default
Computed PID parameters for setpoint change: P13.4, I0.482, D51.4
Computed PID parameters for load change: P13.

It's a pain as i am keen to get printing again.
