To verify, if I have the following, using the toolboard...

[Nuramori]

@Danal hehe yeah. I have a zesty kryo with about 600 hours on it. No issues so far

@Danal The latest notes seem to say the tool board can only be used with z probe types 8 and 9. That seems to exclude type 5, which is the bltouch. Can you verify this?

[Danal]

I'm a power user, not internal to Duet in any way, and can really only ask @DC42. To your point, BLt may not be there (yet) in the tool board firmware. Those release notes you pointed out certainly seem to verify that.

Truthfully, in my mind anyway, the BLT is more "part of the carriage" that "part of the tool", and I'd just run its wiring back to an io port on the main 6HC board. That's how I have mine hooked up.

That's a long winded way of saying that the use case is off the main track, and I can see how it would be lower on the tool board firmware priority list. Of course, the above documentation is still good for a main board port, just change the board number and port number to match where the BLt is plugged in.

@Danal

Thanks. I currently have migrated from the duet2 to the duet3 and it’s been working very well for awhile now. I am currently designing a new printhead, and saw the tool head board as an opportunity to elegantly minimize the connectivity wire nest, even more than what I’ve been able to do with a custom patch board.

I’ll keep an eye out for the revision that David alludes to.

bltouch is type 9.

bltouch is type 9.

Doh! Of course!! Thank you Dave.

@dc42 hah. I saw H5 in Danal’s snippet, and didn’t look at mine. I had H9 and now feel silly. Lol. Thanks. :).

[Danal]

Well, color me purple. Or something. I indeed do have an H5 coded in there. Bigger than life. Checked my config.g to be sure I didn't copy from the wrong printer. There it is again. Big 'ol 5. Cinco. Pięć. Cinq. פֿינף. Pent. خمسة. Quīnque. пять. No matter what language I try, it still comes after four and before six. And it is nowhere nearдевять. Sheesh.

And I indeed do have a BLtouch. And it deploys and retracts like a champ.

Hmmm.... It seems that D3 pins and macros do a LOT.

I will certainly change it to H9. Hope that doesn't break anything...

@Danal @Nuramori In M558, H5 is the dive height, P parameter is the probe type. In Danal’s code snippet earlier he did have P9, and H5. So that’s correct!

Well, darn it, after all my smart-alek typing, I was wrong about being wrong.

P not H. Hmmm...

Anyway, THANK YOU @droftarts

I’m loving this thread for levity. Lol.

Making things more complicated than obvious is always entertaining.

Sorry guys. I need more rest.
