My take on Installing a BL Touch Probe
-
I'm currently getting the BLTouch error immediately after the probe makes contact with the bed of my i3. The BLTouch then remains in error until I send an [c]M280 P3 S160 I1;[/c] to clear the error. I'm running 1.19.2 on a Duet Ethernet. What is the solution for stopping the BLTouch from going into alarm? Thanks!

@davidbitton, you are probably not raising the carriage high enough or fast enough after the first probe. The probe height is the H parameter of M558, and the travel speed (non-probing speed) is the T parameter.
On my printer I use [c]M558 P5 X0 Y0 Z1 H5 F100 T7000[/c].
BLTouch will go into alarm if it does not have enough space to deploy the pin completely, and when RRF is probing, the pin is immediately redeployed while Z is raising, it does not wait until the carriage is at the next probing point (in contrast to Marlin which will retract during travel moves).
Cheers,
Ben.PS: I don't know what happened to Calvinx, he manually deleted all of his posts. For the BLTouch at least his info is still on the Wiki.
