Solved PINDA Z-Probe Configuration

[FelixH]

Hi all,

I'm trying to set up a PINDA Z-Probe on my Duet Wifi 2 1.04 controlled cartesian printer.
The PINDA Z-Probe is powered with 5v and I wired it up correctly after a consultation in another thread a couple of days ago. It also comes with 4 wires instead of the most common three-wire configuration. It has blue, black, brown and a white wire.
I connected the three known wires (blue, brown and black) to the board and after I power it up, it appears to be working ok. I know that because I also have a PINDA on my SKR 1.1 controlled Ender 3. The white wire is left unused in both printers and for what I've seen it gives the inverted signal as the black wire.
The Probe shows a red light when no metal is detected and this very same LED is off when I place something metallic under the probe.
When on the Web interface, the value of the Z probe shows a value of 1000 (with a light red background color on the value) without metal and a value of 0 with metal underneath.

My problem is now that it doesn't appear to work properly. When I try to home the Z axis, a warning message tells me that the probe was already triggered from the start.

I'm attaching my config.g file. Any help troubleshooting this issue will be much appreciated. I haven't touched the Duet for a long time and I have the impression I forgot all the stuff...

The reading needs to be around 0 when not triggered (no metal under the probe) and 1000 when triggered. Try removing the i1 parameter from your M558 command in config.g.

well, that did the trick. Thanks a lot.

It's not as easy to work with Duet, being used to Marlin for years...
