Any way to mesh the full area of the bed within the axis?
Yes, that's exactly what it does. It's a grid. It's best to think of it in terms of grid spacing rather than points. You use M557 in config.g to set the area of the bed to probe, and the spacing of points within the grid. A spacing of 20mm is probably adequate. If you'd like to maximize the grid spacing, you can actually send M557 S1 in the gcode console, which is far too tight of a spacing and the Duet will helpfully respond with a suggested minimum spacing to stay within the 441 point limit.

3 points should be better than 4 - but as my bed sits with a central screw underneath it I'm having to work against that anyway.
Perhaps I'll just use the 4 corner screws for bed level assistance and can use the mesh (after I see it and interpret it) to tweak the others.Ideally 3, but there are cases where 4 is required for stability, etc. 3 requires a rigid bed that won't be bouncing around. If you've got 4 to work with, it's doable with some patience. And the manual leveling assistant will make it easier. You can run the assistant over and over again until the adjustments are very minor or start to fluctuate +- and then you know you're as flat as you're likely to get it. Then the mesh will take care of the rest.

For the P value, it was P500 previously (as provided by Fusion3) so I've left it at that but wondering if I can (and if so, how to) make that more precise, and again if there's any merit to it? From the article I can see an example of 0.7mm for Z but is there merit to being more precise ie. Z1.15 or vs. Z1.148? What kind tolerance would the Duet work to?
G31 P is the trigger threshold and will be a range from 1 to 1000 and is mostly for probes with an analogue signal I believe. If P500 was recommended for the probe, leave it at 500.
For the Z height, I use the result from the trigger height measurement given by G30 S-1 (https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Test_and_calibrate_the_Z_probe#Section_Calibrate_the_Z_probe_trigger_height) which has 3 decimal places in the gcode console. If that's what the probe result is showing, might as well use it.
I did read over that but not sure I fully got the idea of it. I have tweaked my config.g as you've mentioned and also noticed that I don't know my z max! The website says it's 320, my config.g had 323 (which I've never touched before) and on simplify3d it says 315!
When I had G28 Z0 I could move the z at least -2 before the probe so I changed it to 325, restarted and ran this:
G28 ; home all
G1 Z0 ; move to z=0 (not nozzle = 0)
G1 X177.5 Y177.5 ; move xy to centre
M114 ; current position, should be: " X:177.500 Y:177.500 Z:0.000 "
G91 ; set relative co-ordsG1 Z-1 F100 S2 ; move z -1mm @ 100mm/min (did this 1 times without ir - 2nd time ir registered)
G1 Z-0.1 F100 S2 ; move z -1mm @ 100mm/min (did this 5 times without ir - 6th time ir registered)
G1 Z-0.05 F100 S2 ; move z -1mm @ 100mm/min (did this 1 times without ir - 2nd time ir registered); from z=0 to sensor triggers (web control z probe = 536): -1.60
G1 Z-0.1 F100 S2 ; move z -1mm @ 100mm/min (did this 13 times then nozzle touched bed)
; from sensor trigger (z=0, -1.60) to nozzle touches bed: -1.30
That's after I ran it up to the nozzle just touched (1.30 above when the sensor activated). I've changed G31 to Z1.3 but do I also change the M208 Z325 to Z326.60?

Not exactly. P is the number of points to use and it will figure out the spacing for you. S is for the spacing between points. It's really just two ways of defining the same thing. Either by number of points to use, or the space between points. See here:

That's a very labour intensive way to measure the trigger height, and potentially inaccurate. Try this method instead: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Test_and_calibrate_the_Z_probe#Section_Calibrate_the_Z_probe_trigger_height
- Make sure the dynamic test is successful (Z probe stops when it senses the bed) before doing this.
- Use the X and Y jog buttons to position the nozzle over the centre of the bed
- Jog the nozzle down until it is just touching the bed or just gripping a sheet of paper. If the firmware doesn't let you jog it down far enough, send M564 S0 to disable axis limits.
- Once you have the nozzle touching the bed, send command G92 Z0 to tell the firmware that the head is at Z=0
- Jog the head up by 5 to 10mm
- Send command G30 S-1. The nozzle will descend or the bed rise until the probe triggers and the Z height at which the probe stopped will be reported. If you are using a nozzle-contact Z probe, the trigger height will be slightly negative. For any other type of Z probe where the probe triggers before the nozzle contacts the bed, it will be positive.
- Repeat from step 5 two or three times to make sure that the trigger height is consistent.
- In Duet Web Control, go to Settings -> System Editor and edit the config.g file. Set the Z parameter in the G31 command to the trigger height that was reported. Save the file.
- Open config-override.g and check that there are no G31 commands in it. If you find any, delete those lines and save the file.
- To apply the new trigger height, restart the Duet by sending M999 or pressing Emergency Stop.

Here's how I would measure the actual Z max distance.
First move your nozzle down so that it's just touching the bed. Set Z0 with G92 Z0. Then jog your print head away from the bed until you are at the maximum safe travel distance of the Z axis. The reading of the Z position from M114 at that point will be your M208 Z axis maxima.

I do read the links, just seems like the wiki's are fairly jargon-filled and not written/ explained as clearly as you've put them. Hopefully if someone else has the same issues of reading them but still scratching their heads then a quick google will send them over here so they can see the more understandable translations.

I was actually just running this as you replied (as I'd tried to run G29 and it struck the bed!)
6 passes and I have 4 counts of 1.291 then 1.287 (first run from Z=0) and a1.289 - so I'll go with 1.291; guess I was fairly close but it seems that something else is awry as I ran G28 then when I ran G29 with G31 Z1.30 and M208 Z325, it ran up the Z then slowed down (approx 10mm-ish) but struck the nozzle... sat there for ~0.5-1sec then the IR triggered and it released, ran to another point and did the same thing... so I hit the stop button and got into the above measurements.
Also, just of note - should I have a config-override.g? I have config.g and config.g.bak but no override...?

@en_passant said in Absolutely lost in G29, G32:

Eventually you may when you get into PID tuning the heaters.
config-override is a system file that is used to store values for things that have been calculated by the firmware. For example, for the heaters tuning, the values for PID can be stored there after the firmware has run a test routine and determined them for you. It's just a file that the firmware can safely write to.
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Tuning_the_heater_temperature_control
These guides go through an example of a commissioning and calibration process that may help you wrap your head around it a bit better.

Just wondering about the G29 issue?
I've followed the calibrate z-probe trigger wiki a few times. I was getting 1.291 last time around but consistently now getting 1.273 with my XY177.5.
I'm now following the mesh bed compensation wiki and heat the nozzle to 200 and bed to 60 then run G30 which works as I expect - runs up the Z, the probe senses it and it goes back by ~ 10mm.
However, when I then type in G29 and it runs over to ~XY0 (appears to be in that vicinity) and starts probing but the probe doesn't detect and drives the nozzle into the bed (not at high speed, though high enough) but also, it continues to apply the force until ~0.5 seconds pass then the probe triggers, the bed drops and the head moves to ~X20Y0. I've pressed stop before it cracks/ smashes the glass - eek!

You're missing the S0 here.

It looks like you're using the zmax homing switch to home the printer. This is fine in certain situations, but generally it is problematic because it's more important to know where z0 is rather than where the end of the axis is, and since you really need to know where z0 is in the first place to know where the axis max is, it has a tendency to drift, causing problems when you need to actually be at z0.
Since you have a z probe, it makes more sense to use it to find z0 during homing. Then the zmax endstop can be used for special cases like resuming from power failure.

https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/ConfiguringRepRapFirmwareCartesianPrinter#Section_Homing_ZGotcha! Just been trying to wrap my noodle around this. I hadn't touched it - that's how it was from Fusion3 when I was on 1.17 and when I updated to 2.02 and ran it (after fixing the issue with 2.02+ Y drive reversed), it appeared to be working so didn't wish to tinker!
I think this might also be linked to the point I made previously:

That's after I ran it up to the nozzle just touched (1.30 above when the sensor activated). I've changed G31 to Z1.3 but do I also change the M208 Z325 to Z326.60?In the article it says:
G91 ; relative mode
G1 S2 Z4 F200 ; raise head 4mm to ensure it is above the Z probe trigger height
G90 ; back to absolute mode
G1 X100 Y100 F2000 ; put head over the centre of the bed, or wherever you want to probe
G30 ; lower head, stop when probe triggered and set Z to trigger heightHowever, steps 3 & 4 - back to absolute... if X & Y haven't been homed (for example, if printer has been powered off) then this won't work?
I'd also like to home the Z from the centre - so in order to do this I need to ensure that X&Y are also homed so I can put them to absolute points for centre. I then need to move it to the endstop (that's the behaviour I'm used to atleast? So, I haven't touched the X&Y, but I've changed my homeall & homez.

I tried to edit but the post was beyond 10000 characters (....), so:EDIT: I changed the S's from before to H's and changed the G1 S2 Z4 F200 from the homing Z using Z probe example which I have within the above code as G1 Z10 F200 H1 so as not to ignore the endstop, incase it's at or within 10mm of the z-endstop limit switch when I press home all (more likely than me punching G28 into the console).
I also changed the final Z movement where it goes to the endstop to H3 to replace the value in M208.
Here's the latest:

Just ran it and did as I hoped (no crunching into the nozzle or axis, thank god!) and M114 shows: X:0.000 Y:0.000 Z:327.923
So now, shall check if that's what my config is showing for M208 and run G29 (fingers crossed no craziness this time!)
Seems to be working but the last week or so has made me doubt everything I do!
Anything I'm glaringly missing?e_p

G1 Z200 F150 H3 ; z 200mm (> max) @ 150mm/min - until limit sw. detects & set z max in m208Good catch on using H3, however, I think the first H1 should also be H3 in case you're close enough to the end stop to trigger it during the first move. But maybe it won't matter and the second line with the H3 will catch it as well.
You'd have to test and compare to ensure you're getting the expected behaviour from either case.
Regarding Home Z. It's totally up to you how homez behaves. One option is to set it up like homeall so that X and Y are ensured to be homed first. Or leave it as a single G30 probe at whatever the current position is in case you want to manually jog to a point on the bed and home z there. Or you could have it home to Z max for those cases when that's what you need to do.

It won't. The H3 will only set the M208 max value temporarily. Which is fine because you get it when you home, and it will be set until the printer is power cycled, at which point you must home again anyway.
It doesn't get written back into config.g because there is no safe way for the firmware to write to a single specific line in the file. Hence the reason for config-override.g which gets completely re-written every time the firmware saves to it.
So in order to save it to config-override you would need to add M500 to the end of your homing file, and then M501 to the end of config.g to load it at boot up.
