Duet 2 Ethernet with Klicky Probe wiring

[Woody78]

Hallo, ich möchte meinen Hypercube mit einer Klicky PCB ausstatten und stehe vor der Frage wie ich diesen an das Duet 2 anschließen muss. Es gibt ja den Anschluss für Z-Probe und den regulären Endstop Z Anschluss. Der Klicky müsste ja eigentlich nur als einfacher Schalter arbeiten, sprich er schaltet die angelegte Spannung bzw. GND.
Für die spätere Programmierung ist es sicherlich wichtig zu wissen ob der Klicky an den Z-Probe gehört oder an den Endstop Eingang. Hat jemand eine Idee?

Hello, I would like to equip my Hypercube with a Klicky PCB and am wondering how to connect it to the Duet 2. There is the connection for the Z-Probe and the regular Endstop Z connection. The Klicky should actually only work as a simple switch, i.e. it switches the applied voltage or GND. For later programming it is certainly important to know whether the Klicky belongs to the Z-Probe or the Endstop input. Does anyone have any ideas?

Ja. Lesen! In English, of course, so that the Duet community can contribute. Start with the official (and very good) documentation by Duet3D itself - for Z probes, there’s this one: Connecting a Z probe. For the Klicky probe, scroll to the bottom. Then, search the forum for ”Klicky” - you’ll find many threads on that.

One note on your specific question: for a switching probe, it is possible to attach it to any input connector. The Duet 2 came with some dedicated ports, but these assignments were alleviated and have mostly become obsolete. BUT: in order to pick up the Clicky, you must first home the printer, so you might consider using a conventional endstop for Z anyway. For probing, the Klicky is fine.

Another reason to use the dedicated probe connector on the Duet 2 is flexibility: whenever you would like to switch to some other kind of probe, that’s easy with the Z probe header, with some other ports: impossible.
