PINDA leveling sensor
-
Good morning, I've acidentaly broken my original BLTouch 3.1 and I was considering to substitute it with a P.I.N.D.A. sensor...is it compatible with the Duet 2WiFi? Even the latest super P.I.N.D.A.? In case are the connections the same than the BLTouch? Is it more precise than BLTouch or are about the same?
Thanks

I forgot to mention that I use an armonic steel bed plate with textured PEI sheet -
Both PINDA and SuperPINDA (and it's various look-a-likes sold under various names) are supported. Wiring is simpler because you don't need the servo. https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Choosing_a_Z_probe claims that an inductive probe is about as precise as a BLTouch.
With a PEI sheet you need to make sure to choose a probe with 4mm sensing distance so it can accomodate for the thickness of the PEI and still have clearance to the top of the print.
PS: If you buy a cheap unbranded inductive probe, all bets are off. I got locky with a 6EUR probe that runs well on 5v, but not all do.
PPS: Since Prusa doesn't sell the SuperPINDA except as a replacement part for verified Prusa Owners, look for vonwanges VINDA which is the same OEM part (-:

I can't find the vonwanges VINDA you mentioned... have you got a link where I can buy it?

@thedragonlord I would suggest buying the superPinda. It needs no temperature compensation. For the Pinda V2 the Z-offset needs to be compensated for temperature if you print higher temp.
Don't forget your metal sheet when doing home. The probe needs metal to stop. Your hotend will push itself on to the bed.

@frankv the SuperPINDA and the VINDA are the same OEM part (-:
-
@oliof You got the pindaV2 and superPinda. In China they sell the V2 and you can get confused. If you order the pinda from Prusa you get the superPinda correct.
-
@frankv Vonwange is not a random Chinese shop and I am not talking about the v2. Stop claiming nonsense about what I said.
-
@oliof I was speaking in general not in relation to your remark VINDA. So I didn't try to correct you. I was just mention my recent experience with Pinda V2. Have a great day.
-
@frankv Alright, sorry for the misunderstanding -- have a good one (-:
-
Thanks to everybody. I've ordered the VINDA!
Thanks!

I've bought it but now I don't understand a thing..the VINDA works with 5V but the Duet2WiFi seems to have only 3,3V for the sensor....do I need a stepup?
-
@thedragonlord You just wire 5V from let's say EXP on duet board. And wire GND and signal to the end stop or probe conectors on duet

stupid me, it's obvious....thanks!

@thedragonlord If you're not using the paneldue, the paneldue header is right next to the probe header and offers 5V:

Speaking of SuperPinda and Vinda. This is an alternative. Check the data sheet
Voron V2.4 (#1317) with Duet 3 Mini5+ Wifi and 1LC v1.1 Toolboard
Voron V0.1 (#637) with Duet 3 Mini 5+ Wifi and 1LC v1.2 Toolboard

Are the dimensions the same than the Vinda's?
