@phaedrux So just put my G29 s1 and M376 H10 at the end of the drive section?

I have CURA set to do a G32 at the beginning of every print so I assume I would put the M376 H10 at the end of the bed.g file?

SO I put my G29 S1 command to use mesh bed leveling at the beginning of my bed.g file.
Do I put the M376 H10 to taper bed leveling in the same bed.g file? or somewhere else?
Do I put it directly after the G29 line or as a last step in the file? The instructions dont specify where to put the m376

@57buick said in Failed to enable endstop configuring IR sensor:

Ok I figured out that because its connected to a toolboard it has to be set to P8 not P1 that made it show up in web control so I hit home all and it homes x and Y and then shows all 3 axis homes even though it never went and actually probed the Z?

I don't think you have it all figured out.

Being an IR sensor you should be able to jog the Z axis and when the sensor is close to the bed you should be able to see that state of the Z probe, as reported on the DWC, change.

I always verify the individual pieces of hardware are working before trying to do things like "homeall".

Yea I just figured out changed the P1 to P8 made it show up in DWC now and manually putting a aluminum plate under it it changes from 1000 to zero when the led turns on so it is seeing it now. But it still shows homed after it homes the X and Y the Z also immeditately shows homed without actually going and probing the Z

Ok I figured out that because its connected to a toolboard it has to be set to P8 not P1 that made it show up in web control so I hit home all and it homes x and Y and then shows all 3 axis homes even though it never went and actually probed the Z?

Also dose duet web control still supposed to show the Z probe sensor? Cus its not showing it anywhere on the web control to see what its reading?

Im building a ratrig and I have the X and Y homing fine but after configuring the DC42 IR sensor it homes the X and Y then says "G28 failed to enable endstop"

I guess I figured out you dont run the toolboard power off of that terminal block on the 6hc? ran power directly from power supply and it works

wiring up my printer, I have 24v coming into the "power in" AND into the "out 0 power in" and they both read 24v on my meter at those terminals but the "out 0" to the toolboard is only putting out 2.5v thus the toolboard wont power on properly whats going on, is there a jumper I need to change?

@57buick said in configuring motor direction and endstops:

M574 Y1 S1 P"io0.in" ; configure switch-type (e.g. microswitch) endstop for low end on Y via pin io0.in

If the endstop is at the rear and the maxima, the endstop must be configured as M574 Y2 S1 P"io0.in"

0,0 will stay as the front left.

Also see the motor direction testing here: https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Machine_configuration/Configuration_coreXY

ok got it, so now I hit Y home to test it and it triggered the switch and the LED turned on switch but motor did not stop. Also instructions say to go to the machine specific page to see the state of the switches but I cant find the switches anywhere in the duet web control that I can see?
I also tried adding the ! infront of pin to invert it but that doesnt work.
Does it have anything to do with my X switch not being hooked up yet?

I guess maybe that just means my home point would be back left of machine? is that gonna cause any issues when it comes to slicing or anything like that? Ive just always had my previous printers home at the front left

Im building a ratrig with duet3 6hc.

1. first question ive tried swapping motor directions and such but when i hit negative direction on Y it goes back instead of forward, X drives correctly negative to left, if I try changing the S1 or S0 on drives 3 and 4 I cant get them both moving towards front and left like normal on my other printeres?

2. is the endstops(which might have something to do with it. The X endstop is setup to trigger minimum when it moves to left, the Y endstop is going to be mounted at rear of printer so that would be maximum at rear not minimum.

my config files is below what am I getting wrong or not understanding?

Im trying to configure the setup with the online configurator to use my IR sensor with a new toolboard 1LC and it does not seem to allow me to select the pins I need on the toolboard? Is the online configurator not working for that yet?

Can someone explain what commands I need in the config to do it manually?

I have never been able to get a clear answer from anybody what these numbers actually mean? When doing the 3 axis level
Leadscrew adjustments made: -0.017 -0.027 -0.017, points used 3, deviation before 0.020 after 0.000
the deviation before .02 after 000 I dont quite understand what that is telling me? How did it come up with that .020 for example

Is it possible using a simple switch to require the firmware to see a condition for say 3 seconds before it pauses the print? Instead of instantly?

Because sometimes doing a retraction makes the filament sensor trigger for a second even though its not actually out

@Phaedrux said in Bed mesh leveling with dc42 IR sensor:

It seems like the IR light is partially shining into the glass rather than being reflected by the top surface. I suggest you get a regular piece of paper and put it on the surface before doing another mesh and see how it looks in comparison.

Ill try that here soon when this print is done. But the 3 axis bed leveling always levels perfectly. this is my the last probe before printing its always really close to each other.

Leadscrew adjustments made: -0.738 -0.738 -0.728, points used 3, deviation before 0.735 after 0.000
are these negative numbers when leveling the 3 axis an indication its seeing thru the glass? -.738 at least its consistent lol Im just trying to understand the technicalities here. My Z probe offset is around 2.1

@dc42 said in Can I use an IR sensor as the X and Y endstop?:

There are much simpler Hall effect endstops available, all you need is a 3-pin IC and a capacitor.

Oh wow, I was not aware of using hall effect sensors for endstops I just googled it. lol That looks like a great way to go. I see a lot of them on amazon with led and resistor on board already. I dont wanna have to solder pc boards so i will try some of these pre made ones

It is not an anynet printer its a custom built printer Im just using the anynet bed plate for my print surface because its cheap and works well

I have a leveling question. I currently have bed mesh turned off because it was causing problems. I am using dc42 IR bed sensor, and 3 axis bed leveling and it is pretty darn accurate right now. But im curious with my previous attempt at bed mesh leveling you can see it shows mostly under the zero point of bed? I am using a anet 3d black tempered glass bed plate. Is that my problem? its black tempered glass but if I look closely at the glass it looks like the surface is covered in many black dots. Could it be that the sensor sometimes seeing between the dots and causing the unlevel mesh?
Im wondering in general too does the fact that it shows most of the points way under the zero point indicate something or is that just showing my Z offset I have programmed?

I was curious about this same thing but doing it in a little different way. Mounting the board horizontal in place of my switches. And then just mounting a small printed black block or something on the frame.
I already have my config set to Y home before X home so it doesnt drag the switch for X.
I know none of this is necessary per say I just enjoy custom building stuff. Do you think it would work well? Here are pictures of my current X and Y home switches
