Z-Probe trigger inverted after update to RRF3.0

M558 P1 C"zprobe.in" H5 F120 T6000

try this

M558 P1 C"!zprobe.in" H5 F120 T6000

[wcj97]

@SIam Still didn't work

On another note, my inductive probe is wired as shown at:

M574 Z1 S2

and if you remove this line

M574 Z1 S2

[wcj97]

@SIam Nope, still inverting the input.

Is the "I" parameter still needed in RRF3.0 to invert the input? I know the M558 in my config.g from RRF1.19 had that included

[wcj97]

@SIam Wait! I take that back. I changed the sensor type to "P5" in addition to what you said and that seems to have worked. Thank you for the help! Now on to my next struggle

M558 P1 C"!zprobe.in" H5 F120 T6000

If it's an NPN-output probe then you also need to enable the pullup resistor:

M558 P1 C"!^zprobe.in" H5 F120 T6000

[wcj97]

@dc42 Just curious, what exactly is the pullup resistor doing? Currently I don't have that on, but I'm assuming you have a good reason for enabling the pullup resistor. Is it just an over-current protection for the sensor/board?

An NPN-output sensor can only pull its output to ground. When it isn't doing that, you need something else to pull the Z probe input high. The pullup resistor does that. Without it, you would be relying on the leakage of the over-voltage protection diode.

@dc42 what would the code line look like on a duet 3 mainboard ,for a Z probe NPN sensor, running RRF 3.4? I am having trouble.

@damaged_goods It's literally 4 posts up

Or as above but preferanly with probe type P5 or P8.

@dc42 @Phaedrux
Thanks guys. The Duet 3 board I have does not have a dedicated "Zprobe" pin. I wasn't sure what to call it in the code. I had thought "io_0.in". Not that I'm not trying

[dc42]

@damaged_goods which IO port on the Duet 3 have you connected the Z probe to? If you connected it to IO0 then you should use:

M558 P8 C"!io0.in"

plus whatever extra parameters you need in the M558 command.

@dc42 that's better and the probe is working. Thank you
