Bl-touch re-deploy after probing or z homing

@tjb1 Perhaps you could try unscrewing the top screw (core) a little, I never experienced that issue, but maybe this helps.

yesterday i cleaned, magnetized and replaced the heatshrink but its still deploying randomly .

This behaviour was common when using earlier firmwares, but only caused a problem if the Z travel speed of the probe after triggering was low. It was fixed in firmware 2.01. See https://github.com/dc42/RepRapFirmware/blob/dev/WHATS_NEW.md.

I am running the latest 2.02RC2 version

thanks,this morning i bought a shrink and replaced it too and yet it still doing it.
its functioning flawlessly in test mode but while probing its still deploying twice.

Please run M558 and check that it reports you are using Z probe mode 9.

Thank you, it look s like it is on mode 9. maybe i need to try mode 5?

edit: when trying mode 5 the pin deploy agian (twice) instead of once but the second deploy is with a 1 sec delay.

I can confirm that my friend's bltouch is acting same. even changed the wiring and its beeing deployed twice - at neer 30% of the probing points.
2.02rc2 on mode 9 too.

Is this on a Duet WiFi, Ethernet, or Maestro?

BLV

Mine is a DuetWifi 2 v1.01
today i played with all the M558 parameters but nothing changed this wired behavior.
the Bltouch is a clone with 3.3v output (trace has been cut)

Phaedrux

I think it being a clone has more to do with it than anything.

Have you verified the trace is cut with a multimeter?

I dont think so, because yeataday i installed my friend's genuine Bltouch v2.0 smart and it has the same problem.
Yes, i used a microscope at work to cut the trace and verified with a fluke.

Phaedrux

@blv sorry I missed that.

What are using for M558?
What are your movement speed settings?

i got the 1.01 - i erased the firmware and installed again 2.02RC2 from scratch - no difference.
no idea what to do, replacing the wires made no difference.
even while homing z axis alone, every 2-3 homing it keeps happening - after probing the pin deploys
again while the bed moving down (core xy). it hits the glass before the bed went down, then retracts.
just to check as @Blv - i installed it on my mks gen-l and it works without any issue.

I've been having some problems with my 3D Touch (when it probes a hot bed), so I made a video to ask for a new one, is your probe behaving different from how its seen in the video?
Sorry for the background noise around the middle, the power company is making some holes.

Phaedrux

@genghisnico13 How do you have the probe mounted? Your video makes it look like there is a bolt right above the top of the probe and it looks like it might be right beside a stepper motor? It uses an electromagnet and could be susceptible to pieces of metal being too close to it. If you take the probe out of the mount and just suspend it in the air and trigger it by hand, does it behave the same way?

Its almost identical, except that in my case its deploying the pin only one time after it already probed the point. (On your video its deploying even more).

genghisnico13

@phaedrux You could be right, but since the seller has already agreed to send me a new one.... I'll test it in mid air when the new one arrives (couple of months). Worst case I end up with 2 working probes.
I assumed it was designed to be in close proximity to ferrous materials and put it in the only place with free space that doesn't limit movement length, could have been a bad choice, will see after testing.

It's also worth remembering that high-current bed heaters can affect the trigger height of a BLTouch, although I've not heard of them causing the pin to redeploy. So if you are probing with the bed heater turned on, try turning it off, or add parameter B0 to the M558 command.

bugm

@dc42 Do you have any idea what should i do please?
I'm so frustrated and praying to the 3d printing god to get it work

The heater is off always .

Please share your config.g, deployprobe.g and retractprobe.g files. Also run M115 to verify which firmware version is running, in case the firmware update failed.
