Bed leveling using 2 z-probes beta3.2
-
Hello all,
At the moment i'm trying to get the config right for a printer project i'm working on. I have two hotends in a carriage where one of them is steady and the other one is mounted on linear rails and a linear stepper driver which can move it up and down. Both of them have FSR's installed to be able to probe the bed individually and so an offset can be set between them which will make calibration a breeze, if it will work that is.
Right now i can't get it to work, on the user interface it displays two values however they're the same value. I'm wondering if any of you can look at my config and tell me how to fix it.
The second hotend is defined as tool U in my config and im using RepRapFirmware 3.2-beta3.2

I got it working now, i read on the gcode webpage that you can't have multiple analog sensors? Im assuming it has to do with the filtering.
This is what the page stated:
*"Restrictions on defining more than one Z probe (K parameter) as at RRF 3.01:
G29 and G30 commands always used probe 0 and there is no facility to select a different probe
Only one Z probe can be type 1,2,3,5 or 9. But you can have multiple type 8 Z probes.
All Z probes use the same deployprobe.g and retractprobe.g files"*I changed it to the following in my config.g:
; Z-Probe
M558 K0 P3 C"io6.in" H5 F120 T6000 ; set Z probe type to switch and the dive height + speeds
G31 K0 P600 X-103.6 Y0 Z0 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger height
M558 K1 P8 C"io7.in" H5 F120 T6000 ; set Z probe type to switch and the dive height + speeds
G31 K1 P600 X0 Y0 Z0 ; set Z probe trigger value, offset and trigger heightI'd still prefer if there was a different way to do it but for now it works.
I do however have another question. Like i said my tool 1 moves up and down. Now when i change tools i want my bed to move down before my tool goes down because otherwise it will crash into the bed. The problem is is that i use a G10 command to set the tool offset which is measured with the FSR. This offset only applies after running all the tool change scripts. So from what i can tell there is no way to move the bed first because it will only run after the tool change scripts which would the command to move the U axis.
Currently my code for measuring and setting the offset:
M561 ; clear any bed transform
M98 P"homeu.g" ; Home U axis
G90
T0 P0 ; Select tool 0
G1 X120 Y44
G91
G30 K0 Z-9999 ; Probe bed with tool 0 and set Z=0G90
T1 P0
G1 X120 Y44 Z7.5 U-7.5 F800; ; Move the bed 20mm, and the U axis 15mm down
G91
G38.2 Z0 P1
M400
G10 L1 P1 Z{move.axes[2].machinePosition}
M500 P10
M400
G91
G1 Z+5
G90
M400
M117 "Z offset for tool 1 is set and saved"T0
Maybe it is a possibility to set the U offset too so it changes it together?
I'd like any input

does it probe with different probes if you issue
G30 K0
and
G30 K1
?
-
No, it still shows the two same values in the UI. It only responds to the one shown there.

Same here. Only probes 1 point.

@Piet , you battling with the same thing?

If you send M558 in the console what does it respond with?
If you send M558 K0 and M558 K1 what does it respond with? -
