I don't understand why this is happening
-
Hi,
No, the switch doesn't trigger unless it actually touches something which is at .2 as indicated. What I'm saying is that 55mm needs to be travelled before the switch will be triggered.
What about my question on the new card that isn't reading the SD? Is there any way to get to the board and enter the data without reading the info off the card, or is there some way to test the card, or is there anything I can do to activate it from within firmware via the USB?
If you are pointing to the info on M665,
"H = height of the nozzle above the bed when all three carriages are just high enough to trigger the endstop switches. Measure it as best you can, to within about 5mm. Calibration will adjust it."I read that as the start print height since it is .2mm
M666 is about adjusting the end stops.
I don't see how this applies to my question
-
Sorry
Frustrated and didn't understand why you sent me back to the same reference again since it says H is the height of the nozzle above the bed. I'm trying to establish the height setting that I need to use so that the effector does not stop 76mm above the bed.I have spent a huge amount of time trying different numbers in the H setting of M665 and I can't seem to find the "right" number that will allow the autodeltaconfig on the wifi interface page to take over and finalize the settings. I have been working steady on that since the first time you pointed me to that section of the configuration documentation
I home the printer and that's fine. M114 tells me that Z is 295.
I try autodeltacalibration and the effector stops 76mm above the bed. Now that I have added the |1, the printer goes through the motions of thinking that it is lowering the hot end to press the nozzle against the bed. It moves down 10mm for each point and fails because the nozzle never touches the bed.
I use M564 S0 to allow myself to move down to the actual bed, and then set the Z value to 0 using G92 Z0
Unfortunately. if I try to use G30 S-1 to probe the bed, the probe does not trigger (probe value does not switch from 3xx to 1xxx) and I have to reset the printer.
Since I added the |1 in the M558, do I not need to somehow set the port for the E0 end stop to active high ?
-
its I1 (capital i) not |1 as you wrote above?
-
Really?
Thanks! Boy, that wasted a bunch of time…..........
I shall make the change and see what happens

Do I have to physically rewire the Z-Probe end switch?

I don't know anything about Deltas so this is probably way off the mark but in your config.g you have the probe trigger value set to 600 so that'll be why it says triggered when the value is 688. So setting the probe trigger value (G31) higher might help. I'd guess the thing to do would be to see what the probe value is when it's just clear of the bed and again when it's just touching the bed and set the trigger value somewhere in between. Dunno, just a guess. If this sounds like a load of crap, please ignore it as Deltas "ain't my thing".
-
I still think you have the M665 H parameter wrong. When the effector is as high as it will go because the carriages are up against the endstops, how high is the nozzle above the bed?
-
Hi Deckingman
The P value which is 600 is the threshold for the electrical signal. When not triggered, it's around 311. When the switch is closed and triggered, it is 1000. The value is displayed on the Duest Interface Screen under Z-Probe
Hi DC42
From the nozzle (bottom of effector) to the bed is 306.5 which is the reading I orginally got when I started. It is a little lower right now because the carriages are just slightly below the metal tabs on the end stops. That is also the value that is entered in the "H" parameter as follows
M665 R105.6 L220 B85 H306.5
Thanks

tim can you home the delta measure the hight from the bed to the tip of the nozzle then do the following
G91
G1 z-100Remeasure the hight of the nozzle above the bed and report both figures Please
I have an idea of what is wrong and that test will confirm if I am right or not?

Home:
Height from bed to nozzle 306.5
G91
G1 Z-100 226.5 -
So it's moved 80mm instead of 100mm. I suspect you are using 16-tooth pulleys, in which case your tower steps/mm should be set to 100 instead of 80.
Thanks to Doug for picking this up.
-
That exactly what I was Suspecting the fact the nozzle was stopping 75mm wish short is around 25% short which would confirm the 16/20 tooth hypothesis
-
I have nothing that tells me what the parameters are, but I have changed the numbers from 80 to 100
That looks so much better, thank you!!!!!
I still need to sort out probing the bed. It looks like the nozzle is about 10 or so above the bed, and I get a message for each probe attempt that says that the probe is already triggered. (Which is what I was expecting based on)
M558 P1 H10 F120 T2400 I1
The last time I took out the I1 at the end of that line, the hot end crashed the bed without triggering. I can physically press up on the nozzle and the physical switch will click and change state.
-
M558 P1 H10 F120 T2400
Dropped the I1.
Homeall Great!
Auto Delta Configuration
Stops about 10mm above bed. Nozzle descends to probe, Does not stop. -
Sorry but I can't help there but if you would like to do the cal semi automatically you could change the probe type to P0 run the autodial routine and follow the on screen prompts

Hi
Thanks. I will try that. I think I need to put the I1 back into M558. I suspect I should rewire the end stop for the Z Probe -

Have you tested the Z probe? See https://duet3d.com/wiki/Test_the_Z_probe.

By default, the metal switch tab is pressed against the little red switch button. The button is pushed in. The light on the board is off
When the nozzle contacts the bed, I hear the click and the light comes on and the metal tab along with the little red button switch are released.
The wiring is to the two outside terminals on the switch.
M558 P1 H10 F120 T2400 I1
When it probes, it reports that it is already triggered.
If I remove the I1 from the end of the M558 Line, the message is that the probe was not triggered, and the probe crashes the bed.
Should I move 1 wire to the center pin from the outside pin and would it matter which wire I moved?
