Duet 2 wifi. Bltouch sometimes doesn't work
-
Hi,
So i have strange problem with my BLTouch (Smart V3.1). 90% of the time my bltouch is working correctly. But sometimes on homing from Home all button on web interface or homing before print from start g-code bltouch pin just slide inside body and entire bed is crashing into my nozzle. I tweaked some settings. Tried various speeds. Made another set of wires. Nothing helped. I'm using Duet 2 wifi on newest stable firmware 3.2.2 i believe. Printer is a coreXY based on RatRig V-core V2.On checking z height and setting true 0 for nozzle i got readings around +/-0.08mm i think its pretty ok for this type of sensor?

Forgot about something else. When i'm making mesh bed leveling around 400 points (500x500mm bed) this problem never occur..

Please read this. I have finally found the problem.
It was not the cable after all but the Z min pin on the bl touch had come loose. Check the bltouch, i have original one yet i feel they are really cheaply made. The soldering had come loose on the pin on the z min on the probe(constantly giving me reading errors, red lights and z-probe 1000 red error reading

@BjornH currently I'm using Heater3 pin from expansion port. In the past i tried heater 5 and got the same results
In My previous printer i isolated Bltouch wires from any other cable and that made a job but i dont want to make two separate cable harnesses -
I don't see any problems in your config. With the BLTouch 90% of the time it's a wiring problem.

@Phaedrux Okay thanks i'll check it soon

I have the same problem that one of my BLTouch printers sometimes doesn't work. Wiring is checked. The BLTouch that works is on a Duet 2 Wifi and others on a Duet 3 6HC.
The only difference is that Duet 2 works with version 3.2 while Duet 3 (where the error occurs) has version 3.2.2 (just like Hesus29).
Is there a bug here? -
But that only happens if I work e.g. with M564 S0 H0, or if I have manually heated up the hotend beforehand.
Then it can happen that a G32 pin does not move out. The second time G32, the BLTouch works again and that until I do something manually again
