Getting confused with the BLtouch installation
-
I know that I am not the first to post on the subject and that there are threads in large amount to be found on multiple issues but trying so many different things on multiple files can be confusing… not knowing if I made a mistake I actually reconfig my entire printer twice ...
I have read these
https://duet3d.com/wiki/Connecting_a_Z_probe
https://www.duet3d.com/forum/thread.php?id=459&p=2ATM, when I do home all, everything is good For X and Y axis. Once I get to the Z I get this message: Z probe already triggered at start of probing move.
so far what I did:

Thanks you for your assistance.

I don't know the Bltouch, but it's a good idea to test a new Z probe. Deploy it and check that the value displayed in the Z probe box in DWC is close to zero. Then trigger it and check that the value rises to around 1000.
In your deployprobe.g file, you might need to add a G4 delay command after the M280 command, to give the probe time to deploy.
