Duet3/Toolboard BLTouch v3.1 doesn't self test
-
so I am commissioning my Duet3/Toolboard with BLTouch v3.1.
With the cheap clone it was self-testing just fine on power up. Switched to a brand new genuine v3.1 and now it doesn't self test on power up.All the M280 GCodes work fine, including forcing a self-test with M280 S120.
so does version 3.1 NOT automatically self test on power up?
Should I be worried it isn't self testing?manually tripping the pin stops z travel, so it appears to be working correctly, but i hesitate to proceed to bed leveling if the z sensor is suspect...

I have observed the same behavior and would appreciate @dc42 weighing in. Everything appears to be working (M280 P0 S120 triggers the selftest) but no auto self-test through the toolboard upon boot.
-
The 3.1 is a bit different than previous v2, but I was still under the impression that it does the self test as soon as power is applied.
Perhaps you can spot something relevant in the Bltouch docs.

Thanks for the reply. I have now confirmed the BL Touch v3.1 will perform a successful self-test when "M280 P0 S120" is added to the config. This might be my misunderstanding, but I was under the assumption that it auto-performed this test.
-
@oozeBot that was my understanding as well - a self test as soon as power is applied. But I'll add the M280 into the startup gCode and run with that...
