Z-probe triggers way above table during HOME ALL

[Billsrf]

How do check that? I attached my config.g, home.all and home.z files. my home.all calls for a G30 to trigger and the config.g z-probe calls for a G31 at the same point. When I change the G31 in the config file to G30, it crashed into the bed without triggering, so I changed it back to G31

[Billsrf]

swap that, HOME.ALL calls for G30, CONFIG.G calls for G31, HOME.Z calls for a G30

How do check that?

By observing it when you run homeall. When it stops prematurely, also look at the Z probe reading in DWC, or send G31 without parameters to report it.

@dc42 yes it flashes just like it is at the bed

@dc42 yes it flashes just like it is at the bed

Can you confirm that it flashes just once? Not 2 or 4 times, like it does when it initialises?

[Billsrf]

it is roughly 50mm above the bed, it flashed 1 time just like normal then moves up 5mm.

G31 P500 X570 Y570 Z0

This looks a little off from your config.g.

Is the probe really X570 and Y570 away from your nozzle?

You also haven't calibrated the Z trigger height.

[Billsrf]

after home.all, I can push HOME.Z and it moves to the bed and sets the correct nozzle height

[Billsrf]

@phaedrux i have the offset Z trigger height set to zero for testing. What should the X-Y settings be for the G31? isnt it center of my build plate?

[Phaedrux]

@billsrf The X and Y values for G31 should be the distance of the probe from the nozzle. Just as the Z value is the distance from the probe to the nozzle tip in Z.

If the probe is to the left, the value will be -x.
If the probe is to the right, the value will be +x.
If the probe is to the front, the value will be -y.
If the probe is to the back, the value will be +y.

my BED.G looks like it is missing a lot of information now for some reason. 0_1555961191732_bed.g

[Phaedrux]

It looks like your bed.g is currently setup to just do a mesh grid compensation run.

[Billsrf]

@phaedrux ok, i will measure the offset and change that in the G31 in config.g

[Billsrf]

If I am not using a bed compensation. Why would that be making my trigger so high off my build surface? It moves down about 20 mm then triggers during home.all. But, if i do a home.z afterwards it moves to the correct trigger height and it is ready to go

[Phaedrux]

Have you gone through these steps?

[Billsrf]

yes 9 times. I will change the offsets and then go through the probe set up again

[Billsrf]

@dc42 went through the same set up process as described in test and calibrate Z probe, same results as before, it moves down 10 mm then triggers then stops. I did nottice, as it is moving towards the X-Y home position, the IR sensor flashes 3 times like it is just initialized. Never done that before either.

[Billsrf]

Tried running a G29 and this is what I am getting back now. I have never had this kind of issue with my duet3d before. its triggering during moves.

[Phaedrux]

Is the sensor on the IR probe dirty or damaged at all?
