BL touch and homing
-
Hello, I am trying to get my bl touch configured and working. It is installed, deploy and retract work fine. How do I get it working correctly in conjunction with the homing files? Also do I disable my z endstop, and if so how? Also can I may it start automatically at the start of every print?
I am also getting this error: Error: G30: Insufficient axes homed for bed probingHere is my config file.. it may be a mess as I was trying a few different things to get the BL up and running.

Also another issue, How do I keep both hot ends up to active temp when using dual extursion? On keeps dropping to standby temp.
thank you -

thank youSet the active and standby temperatures the same. But then the non-printing nozzle is likely to ooze badly. The purpose of standby temperatures is to control oozing.

ok, So trying to get the BL touch working…. got pretty close... but now I am stuck. I can log in thru pronterface only...
Wifi does not connect automatically when powering up.
Printer is now online.

Never had this message before... what is causing it?SO I run M552 S1, able to get wifi up and running.
When I try to log on the web site, page loads up, but right away the window for manual bed probing loads up. But none of the buttons work, and I am stuck there. I can hit the ok button and the windows close, but nothing works. It doesnt show my extruders, onlt a bed heater, which I dont have. I also notice my y motors (I have dual motors) making noise for a little bit when starting up which they didnt do before... but no movement). Can someone take a look at my config file and see what got screwed up?; Configuration file for Duet WiFi (firmware version 1.20 or newer)

...
G32; probe - bed compensation
...Remove that G32 command. Do not try to probe the bed in config.g.
-
Thank you… I removed G32 and still had the problem. I ended up removing G28 ; home all axes and that seemed to fix the problem..
I guess I am having trouble with where the homing and probing files should be located... should they be put in my slicers gcode to run with the imported file? Or located on the duet? -
You can either home and (if you want) probe manually after you turn the printer on, or include homing commands (and probing commands if you want) in the slicer start GCode.
The main problem was with where you had the probing commands, i.e. before many important parameters were set up. They would have worked close to the end of the file. However, it's generally a bad idea to have any movement commands in config.g for two reasons:
1. Safety: It's a bad idea to have machinery move as soon as you power it on.
2. If you have a power failure, then when the power comes back on you will not want the printer t home and probe with a print already on the bed.
