Try to put "^" back. I will never get it.... -
No change. But yeah. That is where I saw where I needed that. This is so difficult because the process from different versions are different. Frustrating.
But I still do not have my probe deploying

Hello,
I have same problem two days ago:https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/15549/bl-touch-setting-on-reprap-firmware-3-0
In this topic is part of my config.g which is OK.
And check sd card if you do not have on sd card file iap4e.bin and delete it.

And I guess the difference in the z motors is just in the transition from the first probe test (which still goes the opposite way) to the second, slower or I assume more accurate measurement. Just at that moment when the bed goes back down for the slower measurement, the left side start sooner. It appears the equal back up so not sure it’s an issue or not.

sorry you're having a bit of trouble. I think part of the problem is that you're using RRF3 but you've either gotten config files for using 2.x version or used some documentation for 2.x version.

because yes it is just a few mm to the rear of the nozzel and about 37mm to the left of the nozzel.
G31 P500 X170 Y180 Z2.5You must change the X and Y values to match the distance between the nozzle and the BLtouch. Also change from P500 to P25.
Here's an example of how to measure it: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Guide/Ender+3+Pro+and+Duet+Maestro+Guide+Part+5:+Upgrades/54#s230
Once you have the probe working, you will need to calibrate the Z trigger height, also described in that link.
You must change your deploy and retract macros to use P0 instead of P3. P0 reserves to servo index 0, which you created with the M950 command in config.g. In 2.x versions the P3 would have referred to the heater 3 pin directly.
M280 P0 S90 I1; retract BLTouchM280 P0 S10 I1; deploy BLTouchSince you are using the BLtouch with a DuetWifi, you will also need the
I1to invert the signal.Your homeall looks fine.
AS for the Z axis direction, 0 is where the nozzle is touching the bed. 400 is when the bed is farthest away from the nozzle. Negative Z movement moves the nozzle and bed closer together, positive Z movement moves them farther apart. If that's not what's happening now, you'll need to change the direction of rotation for the motors on the Z axis.

@radekzl I removed this file and now I can’t get anything to work.

Do not delete that file. @Shamusseven

you can redownload the file here if need be: https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/releases/download/1.21/iap4e.bin

Create the deployprobe,g and retractprobe.g macros as described for using RepRapFirmware 2. The P value in the M280 commands should be your chosen GPIO/Servo index. You do not need the I1 parameter.

Thanks. -
@Phaedrux Yes that is one of my frustrations. I started out over the weekend with 2.3 firmware but updated to 3.0. Now that I removed the one file mentioned above and nothing works, what do I do? I can’t even open the config.g file.
-
I'm so sorry, but I have only this two files for firmware 3.01 RC6 and everything works fine.
and all standard files .g

@Shamusseven
Are you still connected to the board over DWC? -
Nope. Totally shut out now. I added the file back to the card but now i can’t log back into my card. Tells me to check to see if my SD card is mounted correctly and it is.

@DIY-O-Sphere
I woud try to only copy back the deleted files. -
Well copying just the one file did nothing so will have to see about doing the fall back
-
okay I am back to being connected via wifi. I have made what I think everyone has mentioned but still not working right. I still can't get my bl to deploy probe except the 2 times on power up. And my Home z still is going revers. It goes down initially like it does when Home x and y to give clearance. Then it come up quickly and then slower down as it is looking to trigger the probe but should be moving up... then it comes up quick and goes back down a second time but slower for the second trigger pass. It neve triggers anything cause for starters the probe is still not deployed and also its moving away from the bl touch / nozzel. I am starting to worry I am damaging either my board or z motors.
Here is a fresh batch of config files as they are now.

@Shamusseven Sorry, your pics didn't work. Perhaps they were too large?Never mind I guess they are working now.
