Just another BLTouch woe

MartinNYHC

Hi All,

I'm pulling my hairs out getting a BLTouch 3.1 working with my Duet 2 Ethernet. In the meantime I think I sorted out the "my wires have different colors" nightmare. At least the light is on and it does a self test when powering up the printer.

So far so good, but then I stuck when testing the BLTouch. It doesn't deploy or retract with M401/M402. I already looked at a lot of config snippets here in the forum but it simply doesn't work. Please can someone point me into the right direction? Soon there are no more hairs left to pull out

Duet 2 Ethernet with latest firmware version. BLTouch 3.1 wired to HEATER3.

Thanks a lot in advance for any help!

When I did a similar setup on my Duet 2 Maestro, when I upgraded to Version 3.1.1 I had to change my deployprobe.g and retractprobe.g files to P0 instead of the P3 that I used with V2 firmware.

I don't know if that's relevant to your Duet 2 Ethernet, but something to try since you said your deploy macros don't work.

You are my hero..it works. Thanks!!!

Just for fun, I put a Duet 2 Ethernet configuration into the RepRap Firmware Configurator and told it BLTouch. It gave me this as a deployprobe.g file which confirms what I thought and what you said took to fix it.
