BL-Touch error since updating to 3.01 RC12

fractalengineer

It says:

G28 Z
Error: Z probe already triggered at start of probing move

The probe worked well right before the update, and is the only relevant thing I changed since then

What happens when I press home Z:

1-Bed lowers 5mm as expected
2-Probe deploys as expected
3-Probe stays deployed for a couple seconds, but the bed doesn't move up
4-Probe retracts, displays error message above

Here's my package:

-The probe is not started in error state and does the self check fine on powerup
-It also responds fine to deploy/retract commands

Any idea?

Cheers!

Okay little update...

I checked the wiring, un/replugged the pins and now the error message is gone, the bed now moves up on a retracted probe....

But it doesn't detect the trigger! which got me a nice dent on my pei now, but nothing broke thanks to my physical emergency stop mounted on the front of the machine...

The probe now doesn't trigger at all during move up; what can it be now?

Thanks

What firmware version were you using before the update, when it worked?
What M558 line do you have in config.g? In particular, have you enabled the pullup resistor on zprobe.in ?

@dc42 Hi,

-RRF 3.01-RC11, DWC 2.1.6 and DSF 2.1.3 was working

-Here's my bltouch area of config.g:

; BLTouch
M558 P9 C"io7.in" H5 R1 F120 T6000 A5 S0.02 B1	        	; Define the bltouch input on io7.in
M950 S0 C"io7.out"									; Define the bltouch servo on io7.out
G31 X Y25 Z2 P25 									; Set the offsets for the bltouch

@dc42 Apologizes, this was actually a double wiring failure.

It appears that the connector was faulty not only on the board, but also on the extension

No idea how this could happen, will certainly shrink wrap it now

Thanks

I'm glad it's sorted. I recommend you change your M558 line to this:

M558 P9 C"^io7.in" H5 R1 F120 T6000 A5 S0.02 B1 ; Define the bltouch input on io7.in

(not the ^ before io7.in) in case you ever replace the BLTouch by a more recent version.
