Can we use two Z endstops? / Macro Qualifiers
-
If I do a homing with a cold bed and hotend my inductive Z-Probe is in a slightly different position, doesn't detect the bed and crashes. I've been able to use a microswitch wired in parallel to the inductive probe positioned slightly lower and it works fine. I've seen in the example for M851 that one is allowed to use E1:2 such that an event on either E1 or E2 endstop will trigger the desired results.
Is there syntax that will allow one to use E0 or Z to trigger a homed event? Below is my current setup:
[[language]] M558 P4 X0 Y0 Z1 H4 F200 T5000 I1If the answer is no how could one only run a macro like
home all
only if both temps are at expected values or above?

I've heard before that the cheaper types of inductive sensor are temperature-sensitive. There isn't any provision for using multiple endstop or Z probe inputs in the firmware. I suggest you either stick with your present setup, or get a better Z probe, or home using the microswitch but use a G30 command in your slicer start gcode to set a more accurate Z=0 height after the hot end and bed are up to temperature.

Could you not use your sensor and microswitch wired in series, configured as normally closed you'd need either the right sensor (or a relay or transistor to change the signal from No to NC). This way if either triggers the signal goes from high to low/zero and registers triggered?
