Scanning Z probe support in RRF 3.5

flyscha

@gloomyandy Thanks for the reply.

When I fire up the machine and I'm trying to get the SZP to calibrate, I get between 150-400 I2C bus errors when I run M122 B69. Letting it sit there for 5 minutes without touching anything, I2C bus errors are over thousand:

m122 b69
Diagnostics for board 69:

This could be normal for all I know, I'm just grasping for straws currently.

Thanks!

@flyscha we've traced and fixed the bug that was causing lots of I2C errors on some SZP boards. Please try the SZP firmware build at https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/8mwsfwo61tacbyxsu39j9/h?rlkey=zwyd8luhpj7hnanldm4rzm5om&dl=0. It's compatible with main board firmware 3.5.0-rc.2.

@dc42 Thank you for the update! I deleted the Duet3Firmware_SZP.bin file from my SBC's SD card, and put the new file in its place.

Regarding the other files from your link, (SZP.map, TOOL1RR.bin, and TOOL1RR.map), do I need to upload/replace those somewhere as well?

Just checking because the SZP Documentation page just mentions the Duet3Firmware_SZP.bin file being needed.

With only the SZP.bin file replaced, I'm still getting the same errors of:

-Error: sensor error during calibration
-Error: Bad reading from scanning probe - try recalibrating the probe

Here are the diagnostics as well:

@flyscha that shows your board hasn't updated. the build date is still the RC2 release, not the latest one from dc42

flyscha

@jay_s_uk I'm seeing what you're seeing as well, where it's still showing the older version.

Given that, the beginning of my last post seems to be the culprit:

I deleted the Duet3Firmware_SZP.bin file from my SBC's SD card, and put the new file in its place.

Regarding the other files from your link, (SZP.map, TOOL1RR.bin, and TOOL1RR.map), do I need to upload/replace those somewhere as well?

Just checking because the SZP Documentation page just mentions the Duet3Firmware_SZP.bin file being needed.

jay_s_uk

@flyscha you don't need those. the board i have here flashed ok

flyscha

@jay_s_uk Ok thanks! Are you using an SBC?

jay_s_uk

@flyscha no, standalone

jay_s_uk

@flyscha if you're using DWC to upload it should ask you to update. if you're pulling the SD card and loading the file you'll need to send M997 B69

flyscha

@jay_s_uk Thank you! I for sure ran the M997 B69 after replacing the .bin file on the SD card last night, but maybe something got mixed up when moving bin files around.

I'll try it all again tonight. Much appreciated!

flyscha

@jay_s_uk I tried over and over and over and somehow FINALLY the firmware updated! I must have tried 5 or 6 times, and it just so happened to stick. I won't speak too loudly or else it may scare it back to the previous version.

@dc42 The new firmware was absolutely the fix for me! Now when I run the M122 diagnostics, I get 0 I2C bus errors. Every now and then there are a few naks (always 0 or 3), but that's about it.

When sending the G29 command, I now get scanning probe coefficients, and the entire bed scans without any stops, errors, or hiccups.

Thanks for everyone's help!

dc42

@flyscha I'm glad it's working for you.

Where can I get the scanning probe in the UK at the moment? Looked on E3D & Ooznest can't see it x

Hi i might being late to that thread but i have an (several) duet 2 boards and i would love to upgrade my E3D tool changer to that Z-Probe so question how is that possible ? i see all infos refer to Duet 3 board ,. i would love to not totally rework my printers thx thomas

jay_s_uk

@tkamsker it doesn't support duet 2 boards as it requires CAN-FD (which the duet 2 doesn't support)

dc42

@tkamsker also we have run out of flash memory space in Duet 2. After 3.5 I expect to move Duet 2 and Maestro firmware to "bug fixes only" maintenance status because it doesn't have enough flash or RAM space for significant new features.

@becky9 we are working on it, in the meantime if you drop an email to sales@duet3d.com we should be able to help.
