Upgrading from Anet board with Auto leveling

dc42

Yes, you can use that, but you will have to feed it 5V from the expansion connector because the endstop connector only provides 3.3V.

So could I use the 5v from the panel connector?
Then use the zprobe signal and ground pins?
Or would I connect the probe to the z endstop connector like I have it on the Anet board?

To the 5v on the right.

Where would I plug in my sensor? The E0 stop, z stop or zprobe?

FYI I just ordered the duet wifi!!

The outer 2 pins of the E0 endstop would be best.

Thanks! I'm sure I'll have more questions once my board arrives!

Ok so I just received my duet wifi!! I have setup the wifi and am able to access the web interface. I was going through the RepRapFirmware Configuration Tool and had some questions on translating my marlin settings.
I have provided links below that shows comparisons between marlin and the config tool.

I think I have everything setup. the only thing I'm having issues with is the zprobe.
I have the zprobe wired up as dc42 suggested.
the gnd and signal pins from my sensor are wired to E0 endstop connections E0 stop and GND.
I have the 5v for my sensor connected to the 5V expansion connector pin 1.
when trying to run G29 I keep getting this error

Error: No valid grid defined for G29 bed probing

Below are some of my config settings for the z probe and my bed.g file

thanks for all of the help.

I think i found my problem. Let me know if I'm right.

When setting up the grid with M557 I should subtract the z probe y offset (53) from my current numbers.
I believe it should look like this: M557 X10:210 Y0:157 S40

dc42

You don't need to subtract the Z probe offset, however any points that are not reachable by the Z probe will not be probed.

My guess is that you had a typo in your M557 command.

Thanks for the help. I have everything working now!

You don't need the M374 command, the G29 S0 command will save to heightmap.csv anyway.
