Printhead issues running on Toolboard 1LC

nmsmith89

I have Mini 5+ and a Toolboard 1LC.

I also have abother thread open about stepper sounds in SpreadCycle but I opened a new thread since I think it's unrelated.

I've been having a lot of issues with getting the Toolboard configured right so far. (Mostly from ignorance)

Never used Bondtech LGX extruder hooked up. When I try to extrude with no filament in it makes a jammed kind of sound like an axis going past an endstop. I used steps and amperage specs from Bondtech to configure it.
- Fixed - Was my own stupid fault
  It runs fine now but it does "hiss" slightly when enabled.
~~Heater ran PID tuning fine but now gives a fault with no notification every time it heats up. It doesn't seem to tell me why.~~
- Fixed - It was the B0 in the M307 tuning command.
- Update: It's still faulting... That fixed it for a little bit after PID tuning but after rebooting it's back to faulting again.
BLTouch works somewhat but the red light on it flickers constantly and after every 3 probes or so it goes into fail mode (blinking)
- Update: Noticed that the light will be solid red until first probe then the red light flickers afterwards (different than fail mode)
  It actually appears that the blue light is also on at the same time and just the red light flickers at the same time.

I'm running 3.3-b2 on everything (SBC Mode) so I can try downgrading.

Update: I've since downgraded to v3.2.2

Did you copy all the parameters from tuning to the M307 command?

Run M122 on the tool board to check what version bootloader it has. If it reports "bootloader version not available" then it has the old bootloader, which has a known incompatibility with BLTouch.

Yeah I figured out it does it when using T0 but not H1 so I can at least use that for now.

You're right! It says:

Bootloader ID: not available

Is there anything I can do about that?

See https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Updating_the_bootloader_on_Duet_3_expansion_and_tool_boards. Please note, if you have any EXP3HC boards, I advise against updating the bootloader on those.

Thank you so much for your help with getting everything set up! You are the main reason I was even able get everything sorted out!

@dc42

Hey! Sorry to bother you again but I managed to flash the new bootloader and it now says there is a bootloader ID but it doesn't seems to have fixed the issue.

The BLTouch looks perfectly normal on boot. (red solid light) But after probing the BLTouch has both red and blue LEDs on and the red LED flickers.

It still works ok for the most part except for the LEDs and it also goes into fail mode after a random amount of probes. (Usually 3-5)

Do I need to maybe invert the pins with a ! or something like that? Or is it a bug with the Toolboard1LC?

Update

I ran M280 P0 S60 and that seemed to stop the flickering. (Not really sure what it does.) It might have stopped the fail mode also but it's too early to tell. The blue AND red LEDS are still on and I don't think it's supposed to be like that. It's really hard to find good documentation on what exactly everything does. (Their site is terrible)

I also found this post:
https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/10023/bltouch-v3-0-information-setup-and-o-scope-pictures

Which talks about a 5V logic mode but idk if I need that. I tried the command and it didn't really seem to change anything.

There’s your probable problem. You’re not enabling the pull up resistor on the bltouch.

Change your line to read M558 P9 C”^121.io0.in” H10 F600 T6000

@Nuramori

Sorry I did actually have it in there but I had temporarily taken it out when trying to diagnose the problem. It's back there now.

The only thing that seemed to help was the M280 P0 S60 command. That stopped the 80% duty cycle flicker but the red and blue LEDs are still lit up at the same time. I've seen both things reference a "wiring defect" in the BLTouch documentation but it never goes on to explain anything. I followed the wiring guide on the Toolboard1LC page so I don't think that's actually the issue. I could probably even figure it out myself if the documentation for the BLTouch wasn't non-existent. I did see one thing on their site that mentioned only hooking up 3 of the wires but I haven't actually tried it to see if that changes anything. Either way it seems to be much more reliant after that S60 command.

Nuramori

I’m running my bltouch on my toolboard; can you take a picture of your wiring?

@nuramori

Yeah I can try to take a picture and post it.

BTW... Making a pin map like you did in your code is really smart! I should have done that LMAO!

Nuramori

@nmsmith89 btw I’m running on 3.3b2, so ignore the comments about which version it’s for
