[SZP] Scanning Z probes as regular Z probes

You can put your gcode into a code block so that the forum doesn't eat your characters. Use the little </> button.

@Phaedrux Thanks should have known using escape chars..
-
Yes that looks ok, and if you only have a single probe you don't need to use the K parameter at all. If you do use it, make sure you use it everywhere that references the probe in question.
-
@Phaedrux Well the default for K is 0 and this Scanning Coil Probe is K1 and not sure that can be changed.
-
How many probes do you have?
-
@Phaedrux Only 1 so why am I defining it as K1. Duh.

Hi @cdillow, how well is using the Scanning Z probe as the only probe working out for you? I'm considering doing the same, but as you pointed out, there doesn't seem to be much guidance on exactly how to go about doing this properly.
Have you found that your Z probe trigger height is consistent, or does it change with temperature, in which case you need T compensation?
If you have done some temperature compensation, how did you do it?Just thinking out loud here, but my hope is that I only need to find Z=0 once (or Z=0 for each bed surface I use) and the M558.1 calibration will do the rest.

@WOPR73 You can just configure the SZP to be the first and only Z probe or K0 and do both initial and scanning operations. I got that to work but once in a while the printer would crash into the bed when doing the initial probe. Then I changed by bed from G10 to and PEI coated spring steel plate and then found I could not get the SZP calibrated to work as a initial Z0 finding probe at all. I broke down and installed a BLTouch to find Z0 as K0 and then the SZP as a scanning probe as K1.
-
@cdillow Yeah, that's I what I though. You are not the only one that has made that change. I did not find anyone that has the SZP working as the only Z probe. Almost all use the BLT and SZP together. With having to add another probe to the hotends weight, plus I have to add the Duet3D Filament Monitor to the Duet 3 1LC tool board in order to make that work... I am now adding even more weight. I thought with using the 1LC it would clean up the rats nest at the hotend. I really like the RRF and the Duet 3 6HC mainboard... I just spent to much time and money to get this all in one Duet setup to work and it's making things more complicated and heavy then all other hotend designs. I guess BTT and Klipper it is...
Thanks for your help and good luck!

The SZP show up in the Duet Web control, and communication looks great, the problem is with M308 is says S10 is not a valid sensor pin.

I think you should start a new thread and provide some additional information about your setup.
