orien piezo z sensor requires power cycle

RandyL00123

I have my Orien Piezo sensor nicely configured, BUT if I do a homing macro, it works perfectly the first time but the second one will say already triggered while homing. Looking at the Z-Probe numbers on the display, it's 524 during the first z homeing, but will jump to 545 or higher following, forcing me to do that POWER reset to get it to settle down. My question is is there a way to reset the sensor only without a full power reset? OR, why am I getting higher numbers following the first homing operation?

btw, it's a home built idex corexy

Here's my homeall.g, config.g and bed.g

This is your Z probe setup. You have a trigger value of 530 set in the G31 command. I don't know what would cause the value reported by the probe to change after homing, but I guess you can increase the trigger value above the second reported value, eg to 575. I haven't used piezos as probes, so I'm not sure how sensitive they are.

RandyL00123

@droftarts It's like the electrical noise increases once everything is homed....I did decrease the sensitivity to 340, and that helps but doesn't eliminate the issue....I'm going to try having it power down all steppers etc then retrying...

oliof

@droftarts piezos are quite suspectible to noise and ambient influences and need careful retuning. I seem to remember that the eazipiezi control board does a little bit better than the precision piezo, but I stopped worrying and switched away from piezos years ago.

@RandyL00123 what you could do is read the current value of the probe while its not probing before each G30, and then reset the sensitivity value to that plus 50 or whatever is a stable higher-but-not-too-low-for-noise-and-not-too-high-for-probing value dynamically.

RandyL00123

@oliof I like that idea, but how do I query the piezo and change the sensitivity in gcode?

oliof

@RandyL00123 you read the current value from the object model and adjust with G31 by doing something like G31 K0 P{sensors.probes[0].value[0] + 50} (untested, needs validation, maybe add 100 instead of 50) with added safeguards should the idle value already be something high (above 850 or so) to avoid crashing with a triggered sensor
