Z Probe and Z Endstop
-
I would like to use my z probe to define a bed level mesh to compensate for a large crooked bed. This z probe is physically installed and removed as needed and the routine is typically ran daily. I also have a Z endstop that I would like to use frequently (between prints) to keep a tight tolerance on the first layer height. Is there a good way for me to do both?
I was previously using a ChiTu board that did this successfully, but I haven't found a good way to do that with the Duet yet. I noticed that the ChiTu board used the same pins for the z probe and the z endstop (they were wired in parallel).
Has someone pulled off a configuration like this yet?

Yes it can be done. Just use G30/G29 when you want to use the probe and use G1 H1 Z moves when you want to use the endstop. It's as simple as that.
Just make sure that the Z0 position of the endstop is the same as the Z0 position of the probe.
