first bltouch, then endstops stop working
-
I have a machine connected to a duet2 and duex2. I was having problems getting my BLtouch to complete a mesh. It would random trigger without hitting the bed. Someone suggested upgrading the firmware fixed his (it was marlin). I can think of no reason this would help but after looking for shorts and disabling fans and heaters, I had no other ideas so I tried that.
Now, my endstops don't work. I get a G28 error and the machine specific tab shows the endstop states as "n/a." It's almost like it isn't communicating with the duex but the chamber temp is connected through that and I'm still getting sane values off it.
I can only assume I did something sloppy that the old firmware forgave and the new firmware is stricter about. I cannot find such errors though. I know I had both a Zprobe and Zendstop, but I wanted the endstop to set for absolute zero, me manually dial it in to close enough, and the probe to fine tune. Now, none of these work.
Below is my config.g.

What firmware version are you using? Send M115 to find out.
What firmware were you using before?
How do you have the BLtouch and endstops wired? Where are they connected.
Also post your homing files.
When do you get the G28 error? What is the error specifically?
-
I think the old firmware was 3.0.x and the connections are done as much in the duex as possible as it was easier the way everything was laid out. The connections are as described in the civic and worked before the upgrade. So I think there was something in before that shouldn’t have worked but did and the new firmware broke that.
See anything suspect?

Please send M115 to get the exact firmware version. It should be 3.1.1. Then we can go from there.

@Mentaluproar said in first bltouch, then endstops stop working:
; Endstops
M574 X1 S0 P"xstop" ; configure active-low endstop for low end on X via pin xstop
M574 Y1 S0 P"ystop" ; configure active-low endstop for low end on Y via pin ystop
M574 Z1 S0 P"zstop" ; configure active-low endstop for low end on Z via pin zstophttps://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M574_RepRapFirmware_Num_3
In RRF3 M574 S0 isn't a supported mode anymore. To do the signal inversion now you need to use S1 and a
!in front of the endstop pin name.So it should be
; Endstops M574 X1 S1 P"!xstop" ; configure active-low endstop for low end on X via pin xstop M574 Y1 S1 P"!ystop" ; configure active-low endstop for low end on Y via pin ystop M574 Z1 S1 P"!zstop" ; configure active-low endstop for low end on Z via pin zstopAnd then if you want to use the probe in your homing files you'd need to replace the Z endstop moves with a G30.

The inversion didn’t work but simply switching S0 to S1 did. Thanks. Now for the bltouch....
