Duet 3 6HC configure firmware dual Z motors Please Help

ok, an "S2.0" delete M401,402 and add:
a couple of more G30s
does moving the X further out on the G30 help with leveling or not really? -
Well you should try to get as close to the lead screw position as you can, but it's not critical.
Once you get it fairly level it should stay pretty level and only need a small correction to deal with any motor de-synchronization.

ok, thank you very much.... got everything else working... just dont want any screw ups..lol...

Noble goal, but can't always be avoided. Keep a hand near the kill switch at all times.

on the web interface I hit the button "true Leveling (g32)
and it takes off like it is doing a G29... do I have to change the G29 to a G32? -
it did the maping first and then it did the leveling....lol...
-
Yeah move the G29 to the end

I am doing my first test print with this machine and everything starts perfectly, I am using Prusa slicer and the part is a small round dimensional calibration pyramid. it does the first layer perfectly and then all of a sudden the BL touch drops the probe and then a what seems to be 20 or 30 seconds the probe lifts, now that the print head is high enough that the probe isn't touching the build plate the probe is not retracting, it is just hanging out there and the red light intermittently flashes. Any ideas
-
Post the gcode file you're printing. Either there are commands somewhere telling it to deploy the probe, or something is wrong with the BLtouch.

except for an occasional fan speed and feed rate change it is pretty much G1 X(number), Y(number), extrude length. I ran it again today and it seem to do fine for the first 3 layers and then it acts like the BLtouch is trying to do a self test and after a few attempts it stops trying. I added a self test, alarm release, plunger in and out macro so this time I stopped the program and brought the tool head to home position and attempted to do a self test. no response, I pushed the plunger in and attempted a self test again, the plunger cycled out once and stopped faulted. I could not electronically retract the plunger.
-
It sounds like it's got an intermittent 5v connection and is rebooting the BLtouch.
-
is the BLtouch subject to EMF or heat related failures? my bed is set to 80C and the wires run through a harness to a junction box that the extruder and fan motors are running out of. I also have the ground wire doubled up going to the BLtouch from my Duet 3 6HC.
What I think might have happened during installation I had the 3.3vdc pin on the digital out (white) wire instead of the #7I/O(in) like it should have been by mistake. -

Has that been corrected?
-
yes, this problem was corrected after the first few minutes of trouble shooting
-
it just seems like it is solid until I am a few minutes into printing... kind of hard to call it an intermittent 5V.... I suppose I could recheck my terminations again
-
Intermittent wire connection based on print head position is pretty common.
