G1 X{(move.axes[0].min + move.axes[0].max)/2} Y{(move.axes[1].min + move.axes[1].max)/2}That will be a pretty slooow move to the bed center, since the last 'F' param was F360.

@OwenD if only I knew any of these are possible in a macro before today...

wouldn't it be better to lift z up before moving nozzle to centre to prevent harm to both nozzle and bed...!!!!

@User3D
And where do you suppose the nozzle is after this?; If the printer hasn't been homed, home it if !move.axes[0].homed || !move.axes[1].homed || !move.axes[2].homed G28 else G1 Z{sensors.probes[0].diveHeight} F360 ; if axes homed move to dive height
If any axis is unhomed, it'll move to whatever you have in homeall.g
Otherwise it'll move to dive height which is typically 5 or more mm from the bed.If the axis is homed but the nozzle is lower than dive height, it will be lifted to dive height in the section you quoted.
I fail to see why you'd need to raise it further, but you can of course modify it to suit yourself.

I don't want it to be raised further. I said it considering case when axes are not homed. In this case , you home them all. If after homing , Z is at zero and you move X Y to centre then doing so might cause damage... thats all I meant!

Fair enough.
Given that you need to be in front of the machine to set zero, that didn't raise as a concern as I wouldn't expect the nozzle to remain at zero at the end of homeall.g , but that scenario can easily be catered for by moving the check that the head is at or above dive height to before the move to the center of the bed.;Calibrate BL Touch ; Reprap firmware version 3.3b2 or later required! ; if two speed probing is configured in M558,we probably want to reduce the speed for this test var ProbeSpeedHigh = sensors.probes[0].speeds[0]*60 ; Speeds are saved in mm/sec in the object model but M558 uses mm/min var ProbeSpeedLow = sensors.probes[0].speeds[1]*60 M558 F60 ; reduce probe speed to 60mm/min for accuracy - adjust F parameter as required ;define some variables to store readings var NumTests=10 ; modify this value to define number of tests ; Do not change below this line var RunningTotal=0 var Average=0 var Lowest=0 var Highest=0 ; If the printer hasn't been homed, home it if !move.axes[0].homed || !move.axes[1].homed || !move.axes[2].homed G28 else G1 Z{sensors.probes[0].diveHeight} F360 ; if axes homed move to dive height M561 ; clear any bed transform M290 R0 S0 ; clear babystepping ;ensure you have room for the probe if move.axes[2].machinePosition < sensors.probes[0].diveHeight G1 Z{sensors.probes[0].diveHeight} ; move nozzle to centre of bed G1 X{(move.axes[0].min + move.axes[0].max)/2} Y{(move.axes[1].min + move.axes[1].max)/2} M564 S0 H0 ; Allow movement beyond limits M280 P0 S160 I1 ; reset BL Touch G4 S0.5 M98 P"0:/sys/retractprobe.g" ; Ensure probe is retracted & reset G4 S0.5 M561 ; clear any bed transform ; Jog head to position M291 P"Jog nozzle to touch bed" R"Set nozzle to zero" S3 Z1 G92 Z0 ; set Z position to zero M291 P"Press OK to begin" R"Ready?"

@owend maybe it makes sense to preheat the nozzle near working temperature before probing? That would compensate for any heat expansion related discrepancies. At least I do that normally when setting Z-offset manually.
-
@jeloneal honnestly i just used that macro i think this is a good start to set up the bltouch parameter, and after that you jsut set the baby step to get correct adjustement.
i did it for my 3 tool heads on my printer -
I've only just discovered this and it works great, however the M564 command at the end needs to be changed to
M564 S1 H1
Otherwise the printer can still be moved outside of the axis.

var ProbeSpeedHigh = sensors.probes[0].speeds[0]*60 ; Speeds are saved in mm/sec in the object model but M558 uses mm/min var ProbeSpeedLow = sensors.probes[0].speeds[1]*60
Object model say mm/s but the stored value seems to be in mm/min
-
The object model and config.g now save the probe speeds in mm/min, so no conversion is necessary.
Not sure when that changed.
Original version would have left probe speed at incorrect value until config.g was run again.This is an amended version with corrections suggested by users above,

@owend, do we have a place to collect those useful user contributed scripts?

@zapta
This section of the forum is for both posting macros and asking about conditional g-code and meta commands.
It is a little hard to "browse" though.There are a couple of github repositories mentioned here
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Macros#Section_RepositoryI have put most of my macros and associated printer config files here
https://github.com/owendare/RepRapFirmware-MacrosIt would make sense to do pull requests to a single repository to allow people to find things easier.
file naming conflicts may arise and dependencies could be an issue in that instance.
edit: It looks like sub folders are created to avoid that -
@owend said in Macro for "automatic" calibration of BL Touch:

https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Macros#Section_RepositoryThose might be the most official ones to use.
I've been thinking of the best way to collect and share them on the forum. Having a dedicated forum section is one option, but then I think it would likely end up just being a duplicate of this forum section. So then I thought maybe having a more curated collection as a single pinned thread in this section with links to the thread for the individual macros. Or another option, maybe adding a section to the community projects section for gcode programs.

What do you think?

@phaedrux
A central GitHub repository such as that which is in place, seems on the surface to be suitable.
Except that the ultimate goal of a repository is to merge all submissions into a single common code base.
That's fine excepting for cases where there may be several different valid approaches to a task which require the file to have the same filename.
Branches can cater to that somewhat bit become difficult for people to navigate to find what they want.
Plus it creates just one more job that someone at Duet has to do (acting on pull requests etc)Perhaps contributors should just create their own repositories and they can be listed in community projects as you suggest?
The ideal solution would be a browse-able directory tree where macros could be placed.
At the top level would be links based on intended kinematics, category and description.
But I can't think how to implement that without an FTP server and/or database , which opens up a whole other can of worms.The up side of the current situation (leaving it on the forum) is that it allows easy peer review and comments on submitted macros.
This is probably worth the extra time it may take in finding what you want as there will inevitably be errors and revisions required for different reasons.
New users will obviously be looking for drop-in solutions, but the reality is that there are to many variables in printer configuration and hardware to make any submitted macro more than a starting point that will require review and modification by them before use.
Leaving it here probably forces them to learn more. -
@owend, FYI, this is how the Voron community does it. A single github repository with a directory for each contributing user. Users can clone the repository, develop in their own copy and then submit a pull request to the maintainers.
Users that don't want to deal with github can just submit their files to the maintainers.

I've revised the main macro yet again and submitted a pull request on the github repository.
This mod is to allow parameters to be passed to it for speeds, nozzle & bed temps etc.
This is shown in the macro call_calibrate.g
If no parameters are passed or the macro is run directly, the default values will be used.I've also added some error & sanity checking.

Im late to the party but how do i use this macro do i add it to the macro section or the config section ?
