IR Sensor and trigger hight
-
I can't get the IR Sensor to Z0.
Sensor is physically adjusted to be 1.5mm above nozzle. Offset -2/26.5 (x/y).
Adjusting it to 1.5mm above nozzle gives me a trigger hight of 3.14mm but shall aim for 0.5 to 2.5mm according to DC42's page. Also, the vallue shown at 3.14mm trigger is 1000.
I suspect, the probe is broken.
Any help highly appreciated.PS: Duet3 RRF3.1.1 CoreX/Y

How do you have it setup in config.g?
What is your bed surface? -
Bed surface is a Geckotech.

@observatoer said in IR Sensor and trigger hight:
M558 P8
You should be using M558 P1 for analogue probe mode.
-
@Phaedrux Tried P1 w same result. Saw a comment from DC42 to use Mode 8 for the probe on RRF3.
-
Does performance change with a piece of paper on the bed surface?
-
@Phaedrux No, I already tried different surfaces and they where detected equally.
-
so you've gone through this procedure?

-
@Phaedrux Yes, several times to confirm doing it right.
-
So what exactly is happening incorrectly? I'm not sure I understand from your first post.
When you use G30 s-1 to measure the trigger height, what value do you get?
When you use that value in G31 Z, are you able to move the nozzle to touch the bed at z0? -
@Phaedrux
Doing G30 S-1 gives me 3.14. Adding this to the config.g and home Z gives me Z=0, but the nozzle is esteem. 3.14mm above the bed.
If I reajust the probe hight, the same thing happens, just with different values. Higher probe, lower Z and visa versa. -
@observatoer
Considering that you have the z-probe fine Tuned and configured. You commented that you have the problem when you do the homing. Is it possible that you do not use the z-probe to set z=0 and that there is this difference of one millimeter between the z-axis sensor and the z-probe?In my printer, with dual z axis, after home with micros witches every motor, I run a G30 command to set Z=0 with de Z-probe then I run a G32 command.
It works well for me in reprap 3.1 on a duetWifi+Duex

Please post your full config.g and homeall.g / homez.g please

@Phaedrux Thanks for the support! Maybe, I figured it out but nor sure about the "how".

@Phaedrux YES! This is the solution. Thank you very much
