Weird behaviour after first print

dc42

@martinnyhc said in Weird behaviour after first print:

Oh...and yes, wires are running close. The switch is connected to the tool board io0 beside the stepper port.

I would not normally expect it to be a problem when using a tool board, assuming the tool board is mounted on the print head, because the wires are so much shorter. But try the M18 test.

MartinNYHC

Just tried with M18 E0 but that doesn't change anything. Beside of that I observed the following after doing an emergency stop and moving the tool head up to deattach the probe:

Very strange.

MartinNYHC

Just got "Error: Probe already triggered before probing move started" directly after switching off/on the printer. That was the first time.

@martinnyhc
Could get a bit tricky with a detached probe...then the cuircit is open....

MartinNYHC

I know t his is wokring for many many guys. And it already worked for me too

MartinNYHC

Hold on. Perhaps I've found the problem. DWC showed status 1000 when the probe is disconnected and 0 if connected. That should be the other way around. Changed C"^121.io0.in" to C"!^121.io0.in".

MartinNYHC

Since the change it goes to the probe points but not down to probe the bed at all.

I'm at my wits end.

MartinNYHC

That was bullsh****. All was properly installed. So I have no more ideas.

Phaedrux

This is a detachable probe that must be docked, correct?

MartinNYHC

Yes, correct.

MartinNYHC

Maybe I found the problem. Just upgraded to 3.4-b2 to test input shaping and recognized that the accelerometer on the toolboard was not recognized. M122 B121 reported that no accelerometer could be found. Took the tool board from my other printer and it worked. Also currently it looks like the probe problems are gone. To be sure I'll test this a little bit more today.

MartinNYHC

Problem is still there

There is a new additional error message after the upgrade.

**Error: G32 has thrown an exception: [NullReferenceException] Object reference not set to an instance of an object.**
Error: Probe already triggered at start of probing move

MartinNYHC

And with G29 I now get

@martinnyhc There must be an exception or cancelled code somewhere in your bed.g which is why you get that exception. I've got a fix ready that will be included in 3.4-b3. Also you seem to call G29 without S parameter in mesh.g, which will invoke mesh.g over and over again until you get a stack overflow.

MartinNYHC

Yep, already fixed that. I need to do some further testing regarding the probe. In the meantime if did a fresh SBC install.

MartinNYHC

OK, spent the day with doing a clean SBC install (RRF 3.3.0) and rewriting all config files and macros. The main issue I have still persists. Gantry and bed leveling works like charm if it is the first print. As soon as a print finished or where cancelled and I start a new print it fails.

Fails means for example: The first thing of course is homing. Second thing is gantry leveling.

G28 															; Homing again for accurate Z offset

It probes the four points for the first time, changes the probing height and probes for the second time. Suddenly it is just going to the probe points but don't lower Z to probe the bed.

Here's an archive of my complete config. I've spent so many days with this problem now and did everything which came to my mind, I'm definitely stuck and don't now what to do.

Help please! Thanks in advance!

Complete Config

Phaedrux

Are there example configs from other voron users that use this probe?

Have you tested in standalone mode as a control?

MartinNYHC

There are many many other users and I took over the config from them. And it already worked for multiple weeks.

Nope, not tested standalone. But as said I just did acomplete fresh SBC install.

Phaedrux

Well I'd say either test your current config files in standalone mode to eliminate the SBC for testing, or wait for chrishamms updated build.
Right now we're mixing 3 confounding factors, unproven macros, SBC mode, and beta firmware. When in doubt, try and roll it back to the most basic configuration and when it's working, start adding new things one at a time.
