      I have had the basics of my custom core xy tool changer 3D printer working for months and now it fails to home the Z axis and reports that the probe was already triggered at the start of the probing move. I haven't made any changes to this part of the machine in a very long time. I triple checked my wiring and did find what was potently a loose wire but upon changing its connector and replugging it back in it still gave me the same error. When I try homeall.g the errors are :
      G28 Z
      Error: M280: Probe already triggered at start of probing move
      Error: M915: Probe already triggered at start of probing move
      The probe also does not deploy at all like it should during the homeall.g file. Manually adding M401 into the homall.g file did deploy the probe but still gave the same error.

      If I try M401 to deploy the probe the probe does deploy and the BL touch light does turn off. When I tap the probe with my finger the BL touch does turn red, although it doesn't show up in the DWC. (it is my understanding that this is normal though since its very fast). When I push the probe up with my finger I do also feel it pushing back.

      Running M401 and the G30 to probe the bed gives me the error:
      Error: M280: Probe already triggered at start of probing move
      or the error:
      Error: G30: Probe already triggered at start of probing move

      On the startup of my machine the BL touch does do the correct deploy, retract, deploy, retract startup sequence as well.

      Is it possible my Bl touch is broken? Any help would be appreciated. Below are some of my system files.

            @Phaedrux The white wire must have came loose at the start of the day and then I must've replugged it into the wrong pin spot. I believe I connected the BL touch's white wire into +3.3 V instead of IN when I was checking the wires. I noticed this, fixed it and it works fine now. thankfully it didn't break anything.
